As a Holistic Health Coach, many people think my job stops at food and nutrition. However, a big part of what I focus on is coaching. Your wellness needs and what really "juices" you is, if not more, important than what you put in your body. If you're not satisfied as a human being, it will reflect in what you consume. Since we're a little over the half way mark in the year, I encourage you to reflect inwardly and set goals for the remainder of the year. It will nourish you in more ways than food ever could.
1) Discover Your Passion!
One book that inspired me to dream big and realize all my dreams can
and WILL be a reality is, “The Passion Test” by Chris and Janet
Attwood. This book has “inspired thousands to shape their lives by
discovering their passions and live according to what matters most to
them. Readers can identify their top five passions by taking the Test,
and then learn exactly how to align their lives with their priorities by
following the Attwoods’ easy-to-follow step-by-step program of action.
“ A MUST read.
2) “If your dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough.” ~ Anonymous
This is one of my favorite quotes that I wholeheartedly believe in
and live by. If we stick to comfort and status quo, that’s exactly what
we’ll get. Some of the greatest adventures in life happen when we
step outside our comfort zone. When setting goals, dream big! The
bigger the dreams, the greater the results.
3) Focus on the 5 MOST important Goals
Pick the top 5 goals that are MOST important to you to accomplish
this week. I recently discovered a great (free!) online resource that
focuses on the concept, If I could only get 5 things done, what would they be?
It’s such a great way to take a step back from our busy lives and focus
on what REALLY needs to be accomplished. The website is teamly.com.
It’s great for the workplace and for teams, but I use it for my own
personal daily goal setting (religiously), which seamlessly contributes
to my overall goals.
4) Express Your Goals In the Present Tense
If you say and/or write your goals in the present tense, it will
train your mind to believe it’s true. Take your 5 MOST important goals
and repeat them, to yourself, in the present tense. You’ll be amazed
how your mind will be ever so slightly “tricked” into believing this
new reality.
5) Evolve
Goals should be organic and evolving. Why? Because you’re organic
and evolving! Plant the seed and don’t be afraid to sit back and watch
it grow; even if it’s in a different direction from where you first
began. I recommend revisiting goals on a quarterly basis. The Brownline 3-month calendar is
an inexpensive wall calendar you can purchase on Amazon.com that allows
you to see up to three months at a time. It’s a great way to set short
term goals that will contribute to your larger goals. Put the calendar
someplace visible (mine is in my office) where you will see it
everyday.
To successful goal setting and a prosperous rest of the year!
