If you didn't sit right down and write out your goals after reading my post yesterday, what are you waiting for?! If you are bouncing ideas around in your head, mull them over for a day or two, but then sit down and write them out. Seriously, do not skip this step! Writing them out will help you stay focused, will keep you committed, and will help you believe as you get closer and closer. It is important for you to be able to visualize each step as you make progress. Here is what I have written out:
LONG-TERM GOALS*:
1. Pay off all debt
2. Raise happy, healthy, well-rounded boys to be successful Christlike members of society
3. Lose 10 more pounds (I have already lost 20, just in case that seems like a small goal)
4. Sculpt abs into 6-pack...yes, this is one of my goals!
5. Build a strong, fun Beachbody Coaching Team...this could be you!
6. Achieve enough success at my Beachbody business to have the option to quit my full-time job
7. Provide the healthiest lifestyle possible for my family
*Goals are listed in no particular order
SHORT-TERM GOALS*:
1. Workout 6-7 times/week
2. Eat a well-balanced diet to fuel my body and model healthy eating for my husband and boys
3. Reach out to others on facebook inspiring them to believe in themselves and reach their goals
4. Spend quality time with my boys doing what they are interested in doing, and intentionally teaching them something that matters
5. Find, cook, and share healthy recipes
6. Help 3 new people every month find a successful path on their journey to getting fit and healthy
7. Provide coaching trainings for all my Beach Body coaches
8. Use all Beach Body earnings to pay down my family's debts
*1-4 are daily goals, 5 is a weekly goal, and 6-8 are monthly goals
Sound ambitious? Remember, I work full-time. So yes, this is ambitious. BUT, I can do this because I BELIEVE in myself and am committed to my short-term goals. Meeting my short-term goals will take me to my long-term goals.
Now go make your lists! And please share them with me so I can encourage you!
Having an extraordinary life means living life to the fullest, setting lofty goals and chasing after them without abandon. This can only be done when we believe in ourselves. Has anyone told you lately that they believe in you? Has anyone stopped to ask you what your hopes and dreams are? If nobody is asking you these things, maybe it is time for you to start asking yourself these questions. What are your hopes and dreams? Do you have any long-term goals? Write them down! Then list out the short-term goals that will lead you to successfully reaching your long-term hopes and dreams. Promise yourself that you will stop at nothing to reach your goals. What are you doing everyday to reach your goals? What are you doing every week to reach your goals? What are you doing every month to reach your goals? If you are dedicating yourself daily, weekly, and monthly to tasks that will get you to your goals, then you have nothing to lose! You can do it! Take one step at a time, one day at a time. Believe in yourself, you can do it!
