Take a moment to reflect on yourself (I'm doing the same)... What are your short and long-term goals? Are you where you want to be physically, spiritually, occupationally, etc? Have you been riding the wave of mediocrity? Are you over-achieving and spreading yourself too thin? Do you make time for your friends and family? Do make an effort to reach out in your community? Are you actively searching for your purpose on this earth?
These are questions I have been asking myself lately... tough questions! But definitely some things I know I need to think about!
Start by actually writing out your goals. They can be anything you want to achieve in a given amount of time. Feel free to make two lists...
Short-term goals:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Long-term goals:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
I started with five each. I have a lot more goals than that, but it's a great starting point. Make sure you give yourself a time frame of when you'd like to accomplish each goal. For your short-term goals I would give yourself a 3-6 month limit. That way there is an end in sight... light at the end of the tunnel. If they get any longer than that they turn out to be long-term goals. Really consider which goals should make each list. If you'd like to lose 10 pounds, stick it on the short-term list. If you'd like to make $10,000 more a year then put that one on the long-term list, and so on. Be specific and don't be afraid to really set some special goals!
This is the first step to self-reflection and a great way to jump-start change in your life. We are always evolving and growing, but sometimes we hit a point in our life where we feel stagnant and stuck. YOU are the only person who can get you out of a rut! So take a moment, it doesn't take long to make two lists. I encourage you to put some fitness goals on each list. Being fit and healthy filters into almost all aspects of your life, PLUS endorphins are released in your body when you exercise, and they give you a feeling of "well-being". Sounds good to me!!!
HAPPY FITNESS!!!!
