Alexa:
There are so many different reasons why people lose sight of their goals, even within the first month of the new year. Some people goal set without actually sitting down to FEEL if their goals are actually things that they want to go for (ever set a goal to run a half marathon… but HATE running? Yeah, me too) Some people DO want to attain their goals- but have no idea how to road map their point A to point B. MOST people end up saying that they just can’t find the time (ugh!).
SO how do you align yourself with your goals? How do you create a road map to get you to your end goal and HOW do you find that elusive time?
First off; don’t rush into goal setting. Just because January is over doesn’t mean you can’t start fresh with new goals. Sometimes it takes me weeks or months to figure out what I actually want. You want your goals to be in total alignment with where you are physically and emotionally. If you hate running, don’t set a goal to run a half marathon but maybe find your local cycle studio and set your goal to attend 4 classes a week.
Once you set your goal and you feel TOTALLY compelled to go after it, realize that there are several smaller steps to get you to the end. You cant get from A to Z by skipping all the letters in between, right? Goals are the same way. You can’t set them and wake up the next day and check them off your list. Creating an action plan, identifying what the smaller stepping stones are to get you to your ultimate goal is so important. This is what I do with my clients all the time. It’s like creating a little road map!
Last, please... for the LOVE of goal setting stop saying you don’t have the time. I work three jobs, have two small kids, family, friends, etc.. and there will STILL be someone out there who is busier than I am and gets more done. Point is, you’re never TOO busy, you’re just not prioritizing. If this is important to you (which, if you took one serious step it will be) you’ll create the time. Whether it’s waking up early or staying up late, you have to carve out the time you want to work on the things you want to accomplish. For me, I literally can’t even finish an episode of ANYTHING past 8:45 pm without falling asleep on the couch (sorry hub) so staying up later doesn’t work for me. However, I have no problem setting my alarm for 5 am and getting up an hour before my kids to either work on my business or get a workout in.
If January got away from you, don’t let the other 11 months do the same. Take hold of the reigns and start creating the life that you were destined to live. Be relentless in the pursuit of your best YOU yet.
So, are you feeling empowered and equipped to get back up, brush yourself off, and crush it this year?
