“Where’s it gone? Why has it turned off”
^^ my 3 year old daughter turns to me as the adverts come on TV whilst watching Harry Potter on ITV at the weekend
Thing is, she’s used to CBeebies, Disney + and on demand…
I nearly dropped into that space of
“back in my day…we used to have to wait for the time of the programme and watch the adverts” 😂
But why am I sharing this?
Well, I was chatting to one of the ladies on our October Reboot and she mentioned that this was the first time in a while she feels like she’s on track.
Why?
She knows what she needs to do…
And when.
As a result, she knows what to expect.
The obstacles
The challenges
So they’re less like to catch her out (like being exposed to TV adverts for the first time 😆 )
She has a clear plan.
And it got us talking about goal setting.
Should you set a goal?
It’s something 83% do not do…
I mean, I spoke about this in a bit more detail here:
And you have some people commenting saying they struggle without a goal..
And others saying that goals have made them struggle even more.
So I thought I’d summarise in 4 steps- how to set a goal:
Wish – What’s your North Star? What gets you excited? What do you want to achieve?
Outcome – what’s your “so that…” eg “I want to lose weight” is fine but add a “so that…” on the end and you’ll get a deeper, more meaningful reason.
Is it your health? The clothes you can wear? Being fitter to play with the kids / grandkids? Suit “yes” to more social events?
Obstacles – what could get in the way? What could possibly stress you out on this journey? How would the best version of you deal with this?
Plan – What’s your one thing to do today to get started with? Keep it simple. Make it 100% doable. Like water before every meal. Protein at every meal. Writing food down before you eat so you are mindful and conscious in your decisions. These are just ideas.
Anyway, let me know your thoughts.
In fact, check out this video I did and let me know what your goal is right now or whether you have one ..
