Challenge yourself.
Set a goal.
Make a plan.
Recruit supporters.
Live your dreams.
The arrival of Spring, like the celebration of the New Year, provides a great opportunity to review and set goals, assess our life paths, and forge ahead. Since Spring seems to (FINALLY) have arrived here in New England, I’ve added a challenge to my life: I’ll be running a 10K (the TD Beach to Beacon). While I’ve run this race in the past, it’s been a while since I participated in a road race, so my training has begun!!
As I considered setting the goal of participating in this 10K, I kept a few things in mind:
I’m challenging myself; I am NOT competing with anyone else.
My goal for participating in this 10K has been set; the time I’d like to finish has been set.
I have a reasonable roadmap to get me there: running or run/walking three times a week. (Walking and cycling will also be part of my exercise routine.)
Support team in place.
How does this let me live my dreams? Setting this goal:
keeps me healthy and in shape
frees up my mind, which allows me to
get my work done more efficiently
work out conflict or confusion
minimize distraction
So…hop on it. Healthy living starts now. Set a goal to improve your health and see if it allows YOU to live your dreams. As always, let me know how this works for you.
