Goals and Resolutions For Decemeber Revision:
This in is preperation for Spring: I decided to pop this out early in case some of you already find the season to hectic to even think about what to do next spring so close to chirstmas. I'll send another reminder for those who don't mind on the appropriate date of Dec 21st!
Goal setting: I found the easiest goal setting method instead of resolution method is to do them 4 times a year. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. In doing this they have long term effects in shorter direct time. Adapt the fitness resolution to what fitness activities you can do to the season. Much easier!
How do you set your goals? Once a year? As they arrive?
· Day 1 Goal Organizing: Spring Focus
Be Very Specific with What You Want. Out door play time, picnics, yard work, children out at beginning of next season, holidays etc.
Keep your goals simple, clear and focused. Saying you want to get the yard work done is too big a concept. Saying I want to reseed the yard is very specific, clear and direct.
· Day 2 Goal Organizing: Spring Focus
Have Concrete Reasons. Goals need to have a purpose. Make sure you understand why you are doing what you are preparing for. Without the knowhow and it's valued importance you will lose motivation and interest.
· Day 3 Goal Organizing: Spring Focus
writing it all Down. Write each step for each goal down on paper. Put them in order of importance. Include which steps you can during a week and finish off the bigger aspects on your time off or weekends.
Each step will get you closer to you completed project.
· Day 4 Goal Organizing: Spring Focus
Set Deadlines and Review times. When scheduling your goals take time to schedule in a review or check in time for them. If it is a large project then add in a check in every 3 to 4 steps. Adjust goals and schedule according to your findings. If you managed to do more steps than was scheduled then you end date can be moved up as well.
· Day 5. Use Assistance.
If you are not making progress think about getting family and friends to help you keep on track and be pro-active by asking for help with the project or task. Support, accountability and advice are worth their weight in gold.
Day 6 When you are all done...Celebrate! Now you can get the work done step by step as you go. No more what am I doing and off and running to enjoying the Spring Season!
