Do you have some exciting health goals, but unsure of where to start and how to get going on them?!

I’ve created a 10 step checklist to help you get started AND stay on-track, no matter what your health goals are.

Let’s jump in…

10 Steps to Conquering Your Goals

1. FOCUS & DECIDE. Instead of choosing several goals to work on all at the same time, harness all that energy and focus it toward just 1-2 main goals.

2. Pick the goal with your BIGGEST WHY.

Your goal must be something that you emotionally connect with and have a STRONG REASON for choosing.  It’s your “WHY” that keeps you going, so it has to be a good one.

3. COMMIT (No, Really.) Commit the right amount of resources (time, energy, and attention) to make your goal a reality. Treat it like anything else important in your life – because it IS!

4. MAKE A PLAN. Every Sunday, set aside 15-30 minutes to plan out your week and make sure you have what you need on-hand and ready to go. Then, every night take 3-5 minutes to make sure you’re on track for the next day. This makes a HUGE difference!

5. TAKE ACTION. This is actually the MOST IMPORTANT STEP of all. You won’t reach your goals without consistent action. Do something daily that moves you closer to your goal.

6. GET SUPPORT & ACCOUNTABILITY. Tell trusted friends and family members what you’re working toward.

Or even better, seek out a professional (we can help!) who will help you get (and stay) on-track.

With someone in your corner, when you have a “win” or a setback, you have someone to share it with and that will help spur your motivation to keep moving forward.

7. SET DEADLINES. Don’t skip this one! Without having a specific date to shoot toward, you don’t have any URGENCY to take action. When you feel a clock ticking down toward your goals, it will help you light a fire of motivation.

8. GIVE YOURSELF A REWARD. When you meet milestones along the way toward your goals, reward yourself with a healthy payoff! New shoes, workout gear, a book, or a massage are great choices.

9. MANAGE EXPECTATIONS.  Making changes and going after goals can take time and effort. Be patient and stay the course! Give your plan time to work … and know that some days will be easier than others.

10. REEVALUATE. Do a quick evaluation of where you’re at every few weeks.  Are you doing great and staying on track? (woohoo!) Are you following the plan but not to your best effort?
