But Now What?
For almost two years I’ve been working hard toward the goal of being my most fit on my 50th birthday. My 50th birthday was two weeks ago. And since then I’ve been in a slump. I have had zero motivation. I have had to force myself to workout. I’ve been slipping on eating right. Thankfully I have great will power so I’ve been sticking to the plan. It’s been extremely difficult though.
I met my goal, but now what? How do I inspire myself to keep going? You might be thinking, “that’s easy, just set another goal!” I have. I have another long term goal, and a few short term ones too. For me the new goals have not been enough to spark me, and I think I figured out why.
While I have decided what my new goals are, (and the short term ones even have upcoming deadlines) I have not taken the time to actually sit with my goals and wrap my head around them. I haven’t mentally fixed my mind on them. I set a goal but I didn’t take the time to get the overall vision of where I want to be. That doesn’t work for me.
So today I’m going to take a little bit of time to sit down, get a clear vision for where I want to be and when I want to be there, and figure out the goals I need to set to make that happen.
If you are in a little bit of a slump, maybe that’s what you need to do too. Don’t just reset your goals, take the time to reset your vision. Vision motivates you. Vision constrains you. Vision keeps you focused. Vision brings you out of the slump and puts you back on the right path!
Let’s do this together! I believe in you!
