When it comes to goal setting, this is usually the easiest part. But following through and actually sticking with these, is where the real challenge is for most. If you’ve been struggling with sticking to your goals and making new sustainable healthy habits, below is a 3 STEP Guide you may find helpful.
Step #1: DECIDE what your goal/s will be (focus on 1-2 at a time as too many goals will overwhelm you and may cause you to burn out)
Step #2: Map out a STEP BY STEP plan on how you will get there.
For example, if one of your goals is: Tone oblique lines by the Summer
Write down 1-2 things you can do to achieve this:
1.Do oblique focused workouts at least 3x a week
2.Walk an extra 10 minutes each day
Step #3: Go to the VB METHOD workouts library and find which oblique workouts you will do and add these to your calendar (try to switch every 4-6 weeks).
TRUST THE PROCESS
Don’t try to sprint your way to progress. Instead of constantly having your eyes on the finish line (living in the future), embrace the journey–be present with it.
Sometimes having our eyes fixed on the reward can serve as a motivator and that’s okay but if you focus on enjoying the process, even the discomforts, this will make it easier to sustain once you achieve it.
The purpose of creating habits is to build a lifestyle. If the reward is your only motivator, once you achieve it, you will most likely give up and lose all your progress.
For a thorough guide on how to set goals and actually follow through with them, check out my Goal Setting Journaling Series on the VB METHOD app.
Together, we will go through a number of exercises where I guide you through visualization techniques to help you get clear on your WHAT, WHY, & HOW you will achieve your goals.
I break down exactly what you need to be doing and how to make your goal not only a reality but also, something you’re able to maintain over the long term.
