Are you looking for a way to STICK TO YOUR GOALS? Here is something my friend Sarah Cranston shared with me. If you TIE your goals into positive emotions and then connect your EMOTIONS to your WHY, you have a better chance of never giving in or giving up. Give it a try.
This was shared with me by another coach with Beyond Slim. We know that when it comes to weight ‘loss’ or releasing weight/fat- we can often be derailed…. but if we get in touch with our WHY and EMOTIONS there is a better chance of reaching our goals.
Here’s what you are to do:
Choose several pictures of those you love the most – could be family / friends / pets…as well as a favorite picture of YOU and a “spiritual” picture that makes you feel close to your Creator. It could be a country church with a steeple, beautiful stained glass windows, a gigantic waterfall, a picture of Jesus, a white candle…whatever works for you.
Then create a collage of these pictures and each morning or at bedtime (or both!) spend a few minutes asking the following question while looking at the appropriate picture:
“Why does it matter to my husband/ best friend/ son/ daughter/ parents/ grandchildren that I commit to create a fitter, healthier, happier ME? What will this mean to them?”
Then, ask “Why does it matter to my Creator that I commit to create a fitter, healthier, happier ME?” What does this mean?
Last, and most VIP, ask “Why does it matter to ME that I commit to create a fitter, healthier, happier ME? How will this make me feel? How will I carry myself through this very short trip on Planet Earth differently in my upgraded “container” for my soul? What different types of clothing will I choose? What new activities will I be able to enjoy? What will I be able to add to my “bucket list” when I am physically able to do ANYTHING I want…”
I know when I have PEP in my step and are functionally FIT, I am unstoppable in every area of my life.
If you’d like to write your answers in a journal, that might be fascinating to see what comes up. Give it a try and if you feel compelled to do so, please share with me.
