Hello all! Sorry it’s been so long since my last post. I’ve been super busy writing and recording. The Weight Loss Revolution will be ready for launch in coming months. So please excuse me if I’m not always present here as the book and audio programme are taking lots of my time.
Today, I want to tell you about something that I figured out in the past few years that has drastically changed my life. I finally figured out, after years of trial and error, the key secret to setting and achieving goals:)
Have you ever set a weight loss goal (or any other goal for that matter) and not achieved it?
Are you one of the huge percentage of goal setters who doesn’t seem to be able to make it to the planned destination?
For years I set goals. I listened to and attended many workshops on time management, goal setting, dream achieving and many other crazy titles. Some of my goals came to fruition and some disappeared from my focus.
Now I know there were many factors involved in whether my goals became reality or not, but there is one over-riding factor that, after years of hit and miss goal setting finally became obvious to me….
The goals I was not making happen were not aligned with my values!
What do I mean by values?
Well, what do you value in your life? Do you value love? Freedom? Playfulness? Giving? Honesty? Passion? Joy? Commitment? Loyalty? Courage? Confidence? Discipline? Success?
If you don’t know the answer, ask yourself: What is most important to me in my life? The answers you are looking for are emotional states like the ones listed above. Get clear on what you value and which are the top 5 most important values to you.
Once clear on your values, go ahead and look at the goals you have set in the past. One thing that you will almost certainly discover is that the goals that seemed to fritter away without fulfilment were the ones not in alignent with your most important values.
So, what should you do?
Simple. Set yourself a weight loss goal. And most importantly, get clear on reasons that are in alignment with your values. If love and freedom are your top 2 values, set your goals based around them. If you feel significance and passion are your most important values then set your reasons in line with these values.
The last step then is to enjoy the ride. Set your goals in alignment with who you really are and you will be dragged in the direction of your goals, instead of fighting hard to stay in the same spot.
Until next time,
Tim
