We’ve been lucky enough to run a few workshops in the space of a couple of weeks, and work with a number of clients – one thing is a recurring theme for a lot of people…
Missing the results they’re after because they don’t find the time, get overrun by other things, life gets in the way.
Life will always get in the way, but we do have some control over how much we let it.
Yes, things will come along that through you off course – when this happens it’s about self-compassion – not beating yourself up but accepting, learning, and getting back on course.
A lot of the time though we get knocked out of our flow and away from our goals simply because we have failed to do two things:
– Prioritise ourselves
– Plan for our goals
If you leave your diary empty, someone else will fill it for you.
If you don’t plan when and where you’re doing your workouts, you’re much more likely to run out of time to do them.
If you don’t spend half an hour planning your meals and shopping your much more likely to make poor choices food and drink wise.
I’ve given health examples here, but this applies for any goal – if you don’t prioritise taking steps towards that goal AND plan the what, how, where and when, then you are giving your power away – and no one wants to do that.
This weekend try this – grab a pen and paper, think about your goal, and plan what you’re going to do to move you towards it next week.
Go one further and actually mark down in your schedule day by day what you are going to do and what the outcome is (bonus if you can tie this to a feeling – especially feeling good).
Block out your time, for your goals, and let the rest of your life fill out around it.
I’d love you to try this and let me know how it worked for you.
