Where Are You Headed?
When we have a clear vision and path to where we want to go, possibilities become more real. When we become committed, we become unstoppable.
Goal setting provides you the opportunity to get crystal clear on what it is that you really want for yourself and to support you on your journey to live a healthy and fulfilling life designed by you. So put your dreams in writing. Step out and live BIG – otherwise those dreams are simply wishes!

Goals help us:
- Grow
- Overcome
- Achieve
- Live Bigger

Goal Setting
Most everyone has at least one goal that is top of mind. Oftentimes, though, those goals are more like distant wishes – thoughts of ’maybe’ or ‘someday’ or “if only things were different, then’… Let’s play “what if.” What if you had a chance to reach those goals and they were more within your reach than you thought?
Questions to ask yourself
What is it that you ultimately want to achieve? Consider all the goals you may have related to your health, fitness and wellbeing. What lifestyle, career, relationship or spiritual goals have you contemplated? How will those goals get you where you want to go? How will your life look when you achieve all your goals?
Here are a few tips to help you get started:
- Clarifying Your Goals (Consider both long long term & short term goals)
- Identify Your Top 5 Priorities
- Create SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-bound)
- Write down your goals
- Figure Out Your Why
- Utilize a tracking system (using an app or planner)
Writing your goals down on paper is a powerful way to set an intention and begin the process of formulating your plan. Studies show that when goals are written down, you have a much higher chance of reaching them. But, there’s more to it than just writing them down.
Over the years, I’ve learned a lot about goal setting. I have implemented much of what I learned in my own life and I’ve shared what I’ve learned and my techniques with my clients. Taking the time to go through this now, may make the difference in what you achieve with this program and in life, in general.
Are you ready to get started?
Having an initial time frame for when you’d like to accomplish your goals will drive you towards reaching them sooner. Adjust tasks and due dates as needed. We all work smarter when we have a deadline.
Go back over your list of priorities, your WHY and your SMART goals and be sure your goals are in sync with what you really want for your life. How do you really want to spend your time? What makes you happiest? Are your goals in line with that? If yes, that’s great – you’re on your way. If they’re not, just take some time to reevaluate what’s most important to you at this time in your life and adjust your goals and your plan accordingly.
Once your goals are in line with your priorities, you have a solid plan in place and you know what you want, deep down inside, you become unstoppable! Keep your goals in front of you often as this will guide you in the direction you want to go.
What you focus on is what you get.
