Goal Setting 101
ON YOUR MARK!
PREPARATION & GOAL SETTING
Where you want to go (goals), the tools you need to achieve the goal (skills), what needs to be done to build skills (practice), and small, specific tasks that, when done consistently, become habits (daily action)
*Give yourself six minutes to brainstorm a list of anything you'd like to achieve, create, or do for your health
*Choose your top four goals, indicate how long it will take to achieve them, and why you will achieve these goals
* Set aside time every day to learn and practice them
*You should plan that each action could be done in less than an hour
* I have three things on the daily action list, but no more than five.
GET SET!
Action
Requires the most significant commitment of time and energy, and breaking practices into small steps to make them manageable and consistent
• Please feel free to pick exercises you can do and enjoy. (Have several exercises and alternate)
• You can work up to the ideal length and frequency. (Adding five minutes to your workout per week is a modest and doable goal)
• Learn good form
• Food Journal (Make a header at the top of the page with the day and date.
In the top row, type: "Food or Drink Eaten". Then type "Amount," "Where," and "Why" in three separate columns underneath that row.)
• Determine your dietary needs.
• A healthy diet must provide balanced nutrition encompassing carbohydrates, protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
