Let us tell you about a great system to help you be successful in achieving your goals.
•
Step 1; Take some time to identify your main goal. This is the goal that means the most to you, the one that you are 100% committed and dedicated to. For example, lose body fat or run a marathon. We call this type of goal an outcome goal.
•
Step 2: Ask yourself, what skills do I need possess in order to reach my goal? This could be having good awareness, knowledge, time management or discipline.
•
Step 3: Now, what can you do on a regular basis that helps you improve and build on these skills? Preferably this is something you can practice on a daily basis to refine and become really good over time.
•
In summary; the key here is to take your goal - the outcome goal - break it down in to skills and further in to something you can practice on a regular basis - and focus on what we call; process goals.
•
Because just how water over time cuts through rock not by its strength but by its persistence, you can do the same by breaking down your long-term goals in to skills and skills in to practices, and create the daily actions and habits that You need to achieve Your goals.

Need vs must: What is driving people towards their goals? The more powerful the why the more chance of making the change and reaching that goal outcome.

How can you turn a need into a must?

Do you have a plan

Need vs. Must: I had an interesting discussion with a coach a few months ago. We talked about how goal setting. We all should understand that there is a huge difference between ‘I need’ and ‘I must’. For example, ‘I need to lose weight’, ‘I need to get fitter’, ‘I need to become more productive’, etc. Now, if they were ‘I must’ your actions towards reaching those goals would become much stronger and consistent. •
To reframe a need to a must is to think about the why. As @simonsinek wrote in his book, we should all 'start with why'. What is driving people towards their goals? The more powerful the why the more chance of making the change and reaching that goal outcome.

Are yours goals needs or must.

Beach day today ☀️
•
The salty water, the sand, the sunshine... it was beautiful!!!
•
We walked, we swam, we read, we strategized, we swam, we ate, we read, we walked, we watched the sunset, we ate again and caught up with some family, it was a perfect Saturday! ♀️♂️
•
After learning what we have the last couple days at @realcraigballantyne #PerfectLifeRetreat filling out worksheets and gaining clarity, we spent a lot more time today reading Craig’s new book “Unstoppable”, creating our vision, developing our plans and setting rules to help get us there.
•
A big one for us: One day, within the next 3-5 years, we WILL have a place by the ocean so we can make a morning ocean beach walk and swim a daily ritual
•
Making this public so we have more accountability to make it happen instead of it just being a dream forever.

What big goals do you have?
Over 5 1/2 years ago this journey started. Its dragged through #rain #snow #wind #cold #longroadtrips. Many question the use of #processgoals vs #outcomegoals. But this spring has proven again the merrit of the idea. #controlwhatyoucan #dontfretthesmallstuff When you are blessed with a #podium enjoy it. #evenbetterwithfriends #onetargetatatime #skeetshooting #sportingclays #trapshooting #beretta682 #browningmaxus #remington1100 #browningxs #reranger #fiocchi #whiteflyertargets #easternconnecticutskeetclub #winterleague
Most often, when setting a goal it will fall into one of two categories; either an outcome goal, or a process goal.
.
Outcome goals are focused on the desired end result that you would like to achieve.
.
For Example: To gain 10lbs of muscle, do 50 push-ups in a row, finish an obstacle course race or lose 25 lbs of body fat.
.
Process goals are the steps that need to be adopted to reach that desired end result.
.
Continuing with the example of weight loss above, you might make a "process goal" of going to the gym 4x/week for 30 or more minutes. Or to start a habit of walking 15 minutes per day.
.
I like to compare it to going on a road trip. Before you can embark on your journey you first have to identify where it is you are going (outcome goal).
.
Once you identify where it is you are going, you then set smaller goals that will get you there. "Drive X amount of miles everyday." "Spend X amount of hours in the car everyday." (process goals).
.
One issue with only setting outcome goals is that you end up focusing on what is not under your control, rather than what is under your control. When the key to happiness is strictly seeing the scale 25 lbs lower, it is easy to end up measuring your progress too often to get any meaningful feedback. When you become too focused with the outcome you can put yourself into a negative mindset when it doesn't come as quickly as you had hoped for for.
.
Ideally each outcome goal will have mini process goals to accommodate it. One trick I like to use is to identify the long term goal, then work backwards and focus on the things you have control over. You want to stick with a process long enough to be sure if it works or not.
.
If you bounce from diet to diet and exercise program to exercise program you are most likely too focused on the outcome, and are not paying enough attention to the process. Without sticking to one thing for a long enough time, it is impossible to find out which method actually works for you.
.
Instead of waiting to celebrate until you achieve your results, celebrate every time you follow the process.

2 Big Mistakes With Your Fitness and Nutrition Goals
Many people set goals or resolutions in the New Year. And many of those goals include some form of “lose weight”, “get healthier”, and “tone up.” These are great goals. However, they do not provide a road map or plan to actually achieve them.
Setting the right kinds of goals can help you set realistic expectations and break large projects into smaller, actionable tasks. This avoids overwhelm and helps you stay committed.
Here are 2 very common mistakes - and how to fix them - when it come to your fitness and nutrition goals this year.
1 - Making “outcome goals” instead of “behavior goals”.
An “outcome goal” is: lose 20 pounds, tone up, eat better, get 8 hours of sleep a night, etc.
Outcome goals describe how we want things to be once we reach the goal.
We cannot always control the outcome of things… stress, travel, schedules, etc. can play into the outcome of something happening.
You can control the actions you take.
That’s why behavior goals are so important: They focus on the things we can control.
For example: “outcome goal” = Lose 20 pounds
“behavior goal” = Eat until satisfied instead of full at each meal
“outcome goal” = Tone up
“behavior goal” = Go to the gym and strength train at least 3x a week
“outcome goal” = Eat better
“behavior goal” = Eat vegetables everyday and protein in every meal
2 - Making “avoid goals” instead of “approach goals”. “Avoid” goals are psychologically counterproductive.
Telling yourself to stop doing something almost guarantees you’ll keep doing it.
No one likes to be told what to do. ;) For example: “avoid goal” = Stop snacking past 8pm
“approach goal” = Stock fridge with fruits and vegetable so they are easy to grab
“avoid goal” = Stop drinking soda
“approach goal” = Drink a full glass of water with 3 meals a day
Proper goal setting is a plan for getting things done.
