In the last post I talked about my goals for the next 90 days. I read a motivational post on pinterest (https://www.pinterest.com/runningtowardsme/motivation/) today that talked about how to change our goals into reality.
I don't want my goals to just be wishes. I want to achieve my goals. I am going to follow 4 steps to achieve my goals. These 4 steps are to write down my goals with a date, make a plan to help follow through on goals, do/track the action, and achieve the goal.
1) Write out your goals with a date.
I have 4 goals I want to achieve personally. Writing out your goals greatly increases the chances you will achieve them. Writing out your goals where other people can see them increases those odds even more!
Goal #1: Go to the Gym Consistently (September 7, 2018)
Goal: #2: Eat Paleo. (September 7, 2018)
Goal #3: Drink 100 oz of water daily. (September 7, 2018)
Goal #4: Blog or Vlog about my journey daily. (September 7, 2018)
These are my four goals for the next 90 days! Next I need to write out my plan for achieving my goals.
2) Write out your plan.
A goal is great but without a plan you don't go anywhere. Here is my plan to achieve each of my goals.
Plan #1: Set out clothes (shoes, socks, shorts, tank top, undergarments), charge phone, and have water ready the night before.
Wake up earlier then everyone else. (by 6:00 AM) This means I need to make sure I'm in bed by 11:00 PM every single night.
Give myself time to have breakfast, drink my morning tea, do my morning devotions, and prepare for going to they gym.
Drive to the gym and workout on the treadmill for one hour.
Take pictures of my achievements and my daily gym selfie to help keep me motivated and accountable on days I do not want to go.
Do all of my shopping in one day and only get what is on my list.
As I make something to eat, prepare enough of that meal for several other meals.
Only eat what is on the meal plan or healthy snacks list.
Drink water all day long.
Plan #3: Have my water ready to go first thing in the morning.
Only drink water/tea
Record how many ounces of water I have drank as I finish each bottle.
Plan #4: Set aside time to write about my experiences.
Take pictures throughout the day of what I am doing to make my goals happen.
Use this tool as a way to hold me accountable.
Post every day even if it is a short paragraph.
3) Track your progress.
I track my progress in a couple of different ways. I have a board that I write my four goals on. As each goal is achieved I check it off. I also take pictures of my work outs and post them to my instagram. I do side by sides of my progress as each week goes past and I take photos of my food to post on social media as well.
4) Achieve your goals.
This is the direction I am heading. I will achieve these goals and when I do I will make more goals. Life is all about living up to our potential.
