Are You Reaching Your Health Goals or Walking in Circles?

You’ve set your health goals.
You decide you’ll hop on those goals tomorrow.
When tomorrow arrives, though, you find yourself unable to focus on the goals.
It feels like you’re aimlessly walking in circles with no ability to get on track to meet your goals.

Now what?

  • Take a DEEP BREATH.
  • Go back to YOUR WHY to remember why these health goals are important to you.
  • Focus on ONE goal.
  • What are THREE things you can do today to move you closer to that ONE goal?
  • Connect with a friend who can serve as an ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER.
  • DOCUMENT your PROGRESS.
  • CELEBRATE your SUCCESS.

Remember: Small steps can help you achieve big results.

At Peace on the Water

The beach is my place of recentering. It’s quite amazing, actually, the influence water has on me.

A quick visit to Old Orchard Beach as we prepare for the arrival of spring in Maine this weekend left me with:At Peace on the Beach

The ability to finish tasks that previously seemed daunting.

A clear solution to a problem that moments earlier I found overwhelming.

Feelings of optimism and enthusiasm.

Eagerness to implement ideas that have sprung up as I walked or relaxed oceanside.

A sense of clarity about what is important, REALLY important, and what I should let go of. (Let it go…)

The ability to focus.

A sense of calmness.

Overall feeling of peacefulness.

This seems like a pretty good return on my investment of time! Taking the fabricated busy-ness out of my life is always a (self-induced) challenge. Yes, it’s easy to get caught in the weeds of day-to-day living. Going to the beach is a way for me to reset and remind myself to spend time on what’s important to me. This also puts me on the road to healthy living and is an important element of my self-care practice.  How do you reset?
