“If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes.” —Andrew Carnegie
What is one crucial thing that separates most people from professional athletes or otherwise highly accomplished people? – Having a detailed plan for achieving their goals.
I believe that creating mindfully selected goals is absolutely vital for achieving our dreams. When we want to succeed in something, we need to create a personal contract with ourselves. While thinking about our desired outcome is an important first step, what must follow is a dedicated plan, as it is the deadline we set to our goals that helps us stay on track.
Writing down specific goals and attaching deadlines to them create a much greater chance of success. Energy goes where attention flows, so it’s extremely important to visualize the person we ideally want to become and start actively taking deliberate steps towards the ideal version of ourselves. This is why it’s necessary to document our wishes, so that we have a clearly defined roadmap to follow.
Committing to daily tasks is great, as it’s consistency that boosts us forward in our journey. However, I find that it’s equally important to have a long term vision of the self. This is what I pay a lot of attention to during my coaching sessions and find to be the foundation of change for any project we work on.
During our sessions we will combine the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects to help us better identify the underlying issues that need to be worked on alongside the personally customized exercises.
Another key thing to remember about achieving goals is to also stay realistic and understand that seeing results takes time. So while we may want to go from 1 to 100 in an instant, it’s actually better to stay humble and focus on going from 1 to 10, 20 to 30, etc, achievable milestones along the way, just so that we don’t lose motivation early on by not feeling we are making any progress towards the larger goal..
This is also something that I focus on during my sessions by creating a detailed 1 month plan, then a 3 month plan, followed by a 6 month plan, and so on. I know from my own healing experience how starting any new personal challenge is difficult. Things can also gradually become even harder as we progress, from an emotional or physical aspect, or even both.
This is why I trust that I can successfully guide you through this experience by getting to know you personally and creating a personalized program for you. I will teach you about the importance of documenting your goals and pass on the knowledge I have gathered over the last 20 years during my own physical health and wellness journey. The ultimate purpose of my work is to help you feel better, happier, stronger and healthier by teaching you practices that you can take away with you and continue practicing and improving upon for the rest of your life.
