GOAL SETTING

STEP 1: YOUR GOAL

The first step is to write down what your big long-term goal is - what is it that you really want to achieve?

Maybe you’re planning on getting in best shape of your life for your wedding.

Perhaps you have a summer holiday coming up and you want to feel lean and confident in your swimwear on the beach.

You might have joined a new sports team or signed up for Tough Mudder and want to get fit and strong.

Or maybe you need to lose body fat for health reasons.

Take 5 minutes to think about and write down your big goal.

Make sure you think bigger than “lose some weight” this should be a goal that will have a big positive impact on your life if you achieve it, be specific.

Example: I'm going on holiday in the summer and I want to lose body fat and build some muscle so I look and feel good on the beach.

STEP 2: YOUR 'WHY'

Now we know what your goal is, the next step goes a little deeper - why do you want to achieve this goal and why is it important to you?

Darren Hardy, the author of The Compound Effect, explains the importance of this pretty well...

"Forget about willpower. It’s time for why-power. Your choices are only meaningful when you connect them to your desires and dreams.

You’ve got to want something, and know why you want it, or you’ll end up giving up too easily.”

Understanding your why makes it easier to stay on track when motivation is lacking (which will inevitably happen at times).

Take 5 minutes to think about and write down why you want to achieve your big goal.

Explain how achieving this goal will make you feel and what positive impact it will have on your life.

Example: This is the holiday of a lifetime so I want to make the most of it and create some awesome memories. Feeling confident in my swimwear instead of feeling self-conscious will help with this massively, I've always been the one hiding behind layers around the pool, and I don't want that to be me anymore.

STEP 3: YOUR 30 DAY COMMITMENT

We’ve built out the big picture and it might seem a little daunting, so let’s scale it right back to some actionable points we can implement over the next 30 days.

This is an important step because...

”Success is earned in the moment to moment decisions that in themselves make no visible difference whatsoever, but the accumulated compounding effect is profound.”

In other words - doing the little, unglamorous things consistently over time is vital to your success.

There's no magic pill, nothing that you can do in isolation on a single day that will make a visible difference but if you get the basics right consistently week after week your results will be dramatic.

Take 5 minutes write out a few steps that you will commit to over the next 30 days.

Here's a clue, for most people, these steps should include some of the basics we do here at LIFT.

Train three times per week, make smart food choices, track your calorie and protein intake, get good quality sleep, increase your daily step count and so on.

Example: Over the next 30 days I will train at LIFT three times per week, track my calorie intake every day and make sure I get at least 7 hours sleep every night.
