The game changer for me came when I learned to ask myself this one question: “What kind of woman do I want to become to achieve this goal?”
Check out this example. 2015 is the year of “strong body” for me. I have a goal that sees me changing my lifestyle resulting in a more active, slimmer and conscientious person when it comes to the benefits of good health. I’m not that woman yet.
I know the art of goal achievement - after all I make a living helping people achieve goals. I understand that goals take a lot of courage and determination.
The kind of person that I need to be to achieve this health and fitness goal is one with the courage to change. I have to be the kind of person who says no to a sale on chocolate cakes at the grocery store. I have to be a woman who jumps out of bed and into sneakers. I also have to be a woman who speaks a truth. Those chicken wings and nachos will not cut it if I am really committed to becoming a strong me.
I’m not that kind of woman yet. That’s the cold hard truth. But I will become that woman. I will gently morph into the type of person who is able to achieve that goal. It won’t be easy but a goal worth having is not one that is simple.
Have a look back at your goals and ask yourself the tough question: “What kind of woman do you need to become to achieve that goal?”
Get out there and get ‘er done.
