14. The Code to Goal Setting

“Having real numbers and real deadlines for your goals is more effective for helping you stay on track,” explains host Andrew. Oftentimes we set unrealistic goals for ourselves and then struggle when obstacles come our way. To combat self-sabotage, Andrew breaks down easy ways to stay on track and ensure that we set ourselves up for success.   Whether your goal is weight loss, weight gain, or anything else, setting up realistic goals for yourself is crucial. It may be nice to dream big, but if you don’t start small with achievable deadlines along the way, you may be setting yourself up for failure. But if you take your ultimate goal and work backward, you can find measurable ways of tracking your progress that will get you on the right track.   Tune into this week’s episode of The Code for a helpful conversation about setting goals. Learn more about the acronym behind S.M.A.R.T. goals, why you need a “why” behind your objective, and how to create reasonable deadlines.   Quotes • “Having real numbers and real deadlines for your goals is more effective for helping you stay on track.” (4:30 - 4:38) • “Don't forget about any obstacles and hurdles that come along the way. And I'm not telling you to sandbag your goals, not do challenging things, and not dream big. But doing small bite-sized chunks is much more effective than trying to take over the world overnight.” (6:24 - 6:42) • “In the next 90 days, what are you going to accomplish that's going to set you on the trajectory to reach that ultimate goal?” (9:59 - 10:08) • “If we're shooting for some goal, and we're one or two degrees off over a long period of time, that's going to drastically impact how likely we are to achieve that goal.” (12:29 - 12:40) • “We're about results. We're about progress. We're about taking little steps of improvement every day, every week, and every month to push you in the direction of your goals.” (13:29 - 13:39)   Links:   Connect with Physio Room:  Website | ​​https://physioroomco.com/  Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/physioroomco/ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/physioroomco Andrew’s Personal Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/dr.andrewfix/  Andrew’s Personal Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/andrew.fix.9/ https://www.oberlo.com/blog/smart-goal-examples   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
