Setting Goals! Don't Be Afraid To Dream Big!!

Hello Friends! Happy Wednesday! You're half way through your work week! That's always exciting :-) Today I want to discuss setting goals for yourself and dreaming big. This is so important not only in your journey to a healthier and happier you, but in all aspects of your life. Imagine if you never set goals for yourself.Where would you be? You often probably don't even realize that you have goals that your working towards. For example wanting to remodel your house, working for a promotion at your job, or something as simple as cleaning your house and washing that pile of dirty laundry. Those are often things you know you want to do, but may not consciously think about because you are in autopilot and moving through your daily motions. Without goals we wouldn't get too far in life. They are what drive us. Goals are what makes us have something to look forward to. It's that finish line at the end of that long race that you have thought of every mile you cross. If you think about it you've set goals for yourself ever since you were a child. When you were a baby you wanted to crawl and then you wanted to walk so you could play with the big kids. Goals start with those simple little milestones and work towards the bigger ones in life. We learn to ride a bike then eventually drive a car. Each goal has small steps you take before you reach the big ones as you work towards that final finish line. 

I want you to think about your goals. What are some things in your life, not only in your fitness journey, but in your life that you want to accomplish? What is something that you've wanted to achieve for a long time that you haven't yet? Lets write those down. When you write down your goals and place them somewhere that you can see them on a daily basis it solidifies them. It makes them real. It holds you accountable and you're going to work harder to reach those goals. A great way to do this is to make a dream board. Write down, post pictures, and make a list and put it there. Write down those steps, that road map, on how your going to reach those goals and accomplish your dream. Look at it every day and work towards reaching those goals. Those DREAMS are yours! You CAN DO IT! When it comes to your fitness journey you need to have your WHY. Why do you want to do this? What are you working towards and WHY is that important to you? Have you always wanted to run a road race? Have you dreamed of running a Half Marathon? Well write that down! Have you gained a lot of weight over the years and want to fit back into those jeans sitting in your closet? Well take them out of your closet, hang them in your room and look at them every day. That is motivation! That is your WHY! You need something to strive for, something that pushes you every morning to get up out of bed and WORK for. Is it that your kids are running around and want you to play but you don't have the energy? Well get up every morning, put in that DVD, and push play. YOU CAN DO THIS! It's your time, it's your day! Take that first step, write down those  goals that you want to accomplish! And DREAM BIG. MAKE IT HAPPEN! Not tomorrow, but TODAY! It's YOUR DAY! I'm with you and we can do it together!
