Reach Your Goal in Bite Sized Chunks

Since getting back from New York, where I was inspired by so many new experiences and wonderful people, I have been working hard to make my dreams and plans a reality.

There is a logical progression (for me, sometimes not so logical) to building my business to support and encourage people on their health & fitness journey.

At times this has felt completely overwhelming, and I remind myself that I went through the same process saving, planning and training for the trip.

Each of us can do what we can do today; breaking down each task into bite-sized chunks that feel manageable is how we achieve smaller milestones, leading to the completion of our larger goal.

My gorgeous friend Vickie was also musing on this very topic a couple of weeks ago in her Storytime blog.

She's a writer and her take on reaching your goals is far more eloquent than mine, but the principle is the same.

Whether you want to write a novel, or improve your health & fitness, doing a little bit of the work you need to do each day, taking it one step at a time will get you there.

Writing for 18 hours straight, when you're uninspired, exhausted, distracted or just plain don't want to, probably isn't the best way to get your novel written.

Making the commitment to writing 800 words each day, even if it's just for editing later on, will get you there.

Working out for two hours every day for a week, if you're not used to that level of training, will likely make you cranky, tired, sore and want to give up on exercise completely.

Doing even 15 minutes of strength training or brisk walking or any activity you enjoy, every day, will leave you feeling fitter and stronger and with more energy to live your great life.

Create a plan, get it done and make it fun!
