107: 4 Reasons You're Not Meeting Your Goals

Published: March 6, 2017, 8 a.m.

I have been working with goal setters for the last 14 years.\xa0Working in the fitness industry, goals are always part of the conversation with clients.\xa0I\u2019ve witnessed women on top of the world because they just crushed a goal.\xa0I\u2019ve also witnessed women set the same goal over and over, feeling defeated and deflated in their self-proclaimed failure to ever reach said goal.\xa0This can be a viscous cycle that is really damaging to one\u2019s mental health.\xa0\xa0\n\xa0\nHere are 4 reasons I frequently see women fail to meet their goals:\n\xa0\n1. You haven\u2019t seriously considered how amazing your life would be if you actually met your goal.\xa0 Have you really deeply considered what your life would be like if you meet your goal? Would you be more patient with your kids, more productive at work, have more desire to fuel your body well?\xa0Would you have more energy and less anxiety?\xa0Would you feel more in control of your life and more assertive in your relationships?\n\xa0\n2. You\u2019re not putting enough structure around them.\xa0 If you\u2019re not specific about your goal and the EXACT steps you need to take to accomplish it, you\u2019re not going to succeed.\xa0A blueprint of sorts is essential.\xa0\n\xa0\n3. You\u2019re holding out for a quick fix or next week, next month, next year.\xa0\nStop waiting and start taking action.\xa0It is really as simple as that.\xa0A quick fix is a temporary bandaid.\xa0It will wash off after just a few days.\xa0Life will always be busy.\xa0The \u201cright time\u201d will never present itself.\xa0If you\u2019re serious about accomplishing something, you must START.\xa0\n\xa0\n4. You don\u2019t believe in yourself and you\u2019re quick to give up. Self-limiting beliefs are the silent killer of most goals. You must take steps to improve your head game and tell yourself you ARE worth it.\xa0Talk out your plan with a friend or mentor you know would be a great cheerleader.\xa0Seeing someone else\u2019s confidence in you will give you confidence in yourself.\xa0You must be kind to yourself every damn day \u2013 telling yourself you ARE worth it and you CAN do it.\xa0\n\xa0\nListen in to this episode to hear exactly how you can combat these hiccups and roadblocks.\xa0I have seen women and moms just like you turn their lives around because they made a plan and committed to working the plan.\xa0You truly can do anything \u2013 as long as YOU believe you can.\n\xa0\n\xa0\n\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
