The most wonderful time of the year!!!! I thought today would be a perfect time to talk about your next 3 weeks and what goals you would like to achieve in those weeks. Yes I know we are in the most festive and the busiest time of the year. I know we will have holiday parties every week. That’s why they call it the happiest season of all because everyone is eating and drinking. But I also know how fast weight comes on and how much longer it takes to come off. And let’s not forget how many of you are traveling to sun or snow in 3 weeks.
This is why it’s so important for me to remind you – your next 3 weeks are so important. First you have to decide what you want. I know I always talk about planning and preparing when it comes to your meals but it’s just as important to have a plan when it comes to your goals. So start by asking yourself –what exactly would you like to accomplish in the next 3 weeks–. Do you want to lose 5lbs or maybe 10lbs. Do you want to feel leaner — Or more tone and fit? Maybe you just want to feel more confident in your clothes or how you feel about yourself overall. Whatever your goals are -you have to know what you want in order to go after them. Your energy will always flow to where your focus goes. So first decide what you are going to be 100% focused on. Then you make the plan to put your energy to that focus so you can achieve it.
If you listened to this week’s podcast you will know I spoke about how in order to be successful and reach your goals sometimes things in life may have to take a backseat. But that backseat is only temporary. Once you reach your goal you can add them back in. I also mentioned that you shouldn’t put yourself in positions that you know you won’t be able to handle. Choose your battles and be honest with yourself about what you can do and can’t do. And where you should and should not go. Yes, this is about your weight loss but it’s also just as important to realize when you promise yourself that you want to reach a goal – that you stick to the plan. It’s about the importance of not breaking promises to yourself. Your promises to yourself should be one of the most important things in your life. It’s about being there for yourself and realizing how important it is when you set up a goal in any area of your life that you work hard and do your best to reach it.
All the work and effort you put into what you want in the next 3 weeks is going to give you the results. So if you are really passionate about your goal and you focus on it and give it 100% you will get 100% results. In 3 weeks you will be so happy that you didn’t let anything get in your way. You will be so proud of yourself that you stood up for yourself and followed through with what you wanted. You will feel confident and accomplished.
But it all starts with you right now. Nothing will change if you don’t change it. Stop singing the same old song of I should have or I could have and start a new song about feeling good and loving yourself. Only you can change that song and you do it by putting the work in everyday to get to where you want to be
One thing I want to make clear…. This is not about being a size negative zero. Everyone has different sizes and different mindsets they feel good at. You decide where yours is. You don’t have to be the thinnest person to feel amazing. Sometimes just 5 or 10lbs can be all the difference. Sometimes just feeling positive and in control is the healthy mindset you need. Maybe just leaving on vacation feeling lighter than you do today will put you in a positive place. Whatever it is for you – I can tell you it will be worth it if you start today and give yourself the next 3 weeks to head toward what will make you feel your best.
Because what this next 3 weeks is really all about is feeling YOUR best in YOUR mind and body.
Being responsible is keeping promises to others
To be successful keep your promises to yourself.
