Goals and Positivity
Goals
Take some time now to write down your goals for a healthy lifestyle.
What is your reason for wanting a healthy lifestyle and to lose weight? Why is it important to you?
Whatever your reason is write it down. It doesn’t have to be something for someone else, because I want to be around for my kids or because I want to set a great example. Those are great reasons don’t get me wrong, but if it is just because you want to look good naked that’s all good. No harm in that, if that’s your reason, use that as motivation to get moving.
Do you need help you on this journey?
Who will support you, help you and keep you on track?
Write it down. Surround yourself with these people. Ask for their help.
Lets think now about what’s really important to you………
Here are some possible answers:
I want to learn to eat clean so I can prevent disease and illness and to live longer for my family
I want to feel better so I can play with my kids
I want to look great in clothes
I want to look great out of clothes
I want to have more energy
I want to sleep better
I want to learn how to cook healthy food for my family
I want to lose weight so I feel comfortable with myself
I want to be confident to wear a swimsuit on the beach this summer
I want to spend more time with my kids and my partner
What do you need to do today to achieve everything you want tomorrow?
5-10 Year Goal
How do you see yourself in 5-10 years; what is your lifestyle like? Are you happy, healthy? Are you full of energy? Is that extra weight gone? Are your relationships good? Are you leading a balanced life? Are you doing what you enjoy?
How do you look? How do you feel? Be descriptive. Hear the laughter of your children, feel the sun on your back. Feel how good it is to be rocking your new body.
1-Year Goal
What do you need to do this year to get to the long-term goals?
Where do you need to be in a year’s time? What can I do this week to get closer to that one year goal? Write it down, it will happen then.
Weekly
What do I need to do this week to achieve my goals?
What time do I need to wake up each morning?
What time do I need to go to bed each night?
What food do I need to prepare each night for the next day?
What day do I do my weekly prep?
What workouts am I doing and what time am I working out?
What day do I do my grocery shop or order online?
The mind is powerful put your goals everywhere, write them down. Read them aloud every day.
Write them on your mirror in the bathroom
Write them on your blackboard or splash back in the kitchen.
Stick them to your fridge.
Print your goals and put up on a message board
Write yourself a future vision letter. What will your future look like in 2 years? Read it to yourself every night before you go to sleep. Dream big as if nothing is impossible.
Start your journey from Square One and take these steps. Don’t put it aside, make time and you will reap the benefits. This new journey is about so much more than just losing weight, so write it all down and put it up in your home and become accountable to yourself. Just Do It.
Positive Thoughts
Our thoughts affect everything that happens every day. Our lives and health depend on taking control of our thoughts and moods.
We can change how we feel by transforming the negative moods and beliefs that hold us back.
In order to have positive thoughts, you need to know what you want in life, what makes you happy, what gives you energy and what do you want to achieve?
What are your values and beliefs?
Once you know your core values and you have written them down, you are then able to take better control of your thoughts.
If you are surrounded by negativity, then you are continually being bombarded with negativity. Do not surround yourself with negative people or things. Make your thoughts positive and reflect who you want to be. Look in the mirror, look differently, and take notice of what you love about yourself.
Many of us have a nearly continuous stream of self-talk going on in our heads. These thoughts are so familiar to us that we rarely stop to examine them. Change these thoughts to positive ones! Get rid of any negative thoughts and replace with good thoughts about yourself. We wouldn’t talk to anyone we care about the way we talk to ourselves. Care about you! Banish those thoughts and replace with self-love and an “I will do this” attitude.
If you’re feeling stuck, having trouble reaching your health goals, or you’re plagued by depression, anxiety or dark moods, become aware of these destructive thought patterns and learn to see them for what they are. They are simply stories that we tell about ourselves or the world around us. You can rewrite the story; you are the author of your own life.
When we give these stories power and believe they are real, we suffer. But when we see that they are simply thoughts, we become free to behave and respond differently.
Having been though years of negative experiences and people myself before I got out, I understand how hard it can be, but life is too short to remain stuck in suffering. It’s never to late to break free of old patterns that are holding you back.
If you need any help and support with this, contact me I’m just an email away and I would love to help you.
Live Life Well,
Holly
