Why Not Focusing on Your Goals is the Key to Achieving Them

from Strong, Well Fed and Outspoken · host Rusty aka the Miss Frizzle of Fitness

Goals are fun. Goals are exciting. The problem is that focusing on your goal will never help you actually achieve them. So if youre struggling to make progress it's probably not because you have a goal setting probelm - it's because you have a habit problem.It’s easy to be obsessed with the idea of losing weight, building muscle, having more confidence, feeling more in control around foodBut very few people are obsessed with: eating protein consistently, getting their steps in, going to bed on time, or showing up when it’s inconvenientAnd that’s why nothing sticksGoals are exciting but habits are what actually change your life.Today we’re sharing the habits we fell in love with that helped us achieve our goal (and in typical fashion, they’re prettty unconventional)Remember, if you only ever try to rise to your goals - you fall to your habits.So here’s the shift: Stop asking“How fast can I get there?”and start asking“Can I do this again tomorrow?”That’s how we build momentumSee you insideStrength.
