How to get what you want out of life | Podcast Episode 312

Happy New Year!! In 2019 I had two goals: 1. To fit into my ski pants 2. To be in control of my food intake If my ski pants fit, that meant I could go skiing and spend wonderful, exhilarating time with loved ones! And if I could be in control of my food intake, that meant I wouldn't inadvertently hijack other goals that I had about health and weight loss. Today I share about how I met those goals, through a 5-step process that I hope will be helpful as you work to achieve your goals!

I do it with something that I call "mirror chats." 2. Decide what you want. This one feels deceptively easy, but sometimes it can take a while to figure out what we actually want. 3. Decide where you want to be with that goal… By a certain date. 4. Take one small step most days, or weeks. 5. Assess how it's going once a week. Also, as part of this, find something to celebrate each week. My One Word is: ENOUGH this was such a tough one, I had to choose between two words and the people in my email newsgroup were so helpful as I made my choice! If that was you, thank you so much!
