One Day at a Time

I don’t know about you, but sometimes when I set goals for myself, the tasks overwhelm me and then fear makes me wonder if it is even doable!

Does that ever happen to you??

You psych yourself out before you even get started??

Often times, I hear people who are trying to lose a significant amount of weight complain about this. It’s easy to feel the situation is “hopeless” because it seems so daunting and then they just give up without even really trying.

And what if you haven’t experienced success before?

Or you have lots of experience with that ugly co-conspirator “self-sabotage”!

What I know for sure is that I can easily become the world’s biggest procrastinator when I feel overwhelmed by the size of a task or goal. And, what I have found to be most helpful and advise my clients to do as well is to break things down into manageable pieces.

So, if your goal was to lose X number of pounds in 90 days, how much is that per week, and what are your DAILY steps (diet, exercise, support) to get there? What is your plan?

Or if your goal is to earn X number of dollars for the first quarter of the year, how much is that per day/week? How many clients do you need? How many products must you sell? And what are your DAILY steps to get there? What is your plan (notice a pattern here)?

The only way to get anywhere is to create a plan and then take it one step at a time and one day at a time. Focus on taking action today and moving forward incrementally. Don’t let yourself get so overwhelmed by the task that you get stuck and stay there!

So, what’s the goal you are working on right now??

Mine is to write and self-publish my next book! [OMG did I really just put that out there?! I guess I am really going to have to do it now! LOL]. When I look at the WHOLE picture of writing several chapters, it definitely seems daunting and overwhelming (I’m not gonna lie). But my plan is to break it down into smaller chunks and then work on each chunk until I get it done. I also must identify a clear process on how I am going to tackle this one so I can measure how I am progressing.

Now that I’ve put it out there, feel free to ask how it’s going…how I am doing working towards my goal.

What’s your goal? How are you going to accomplish it?? Be BOLD and put it out there!
