"Slice the elephant"

Goals and resolutions are getting a bad rap all over the place.  I can see how people don’t want to make these because past patterns have led to failure.  But it doesn’t have to be that way. 

How many of you wanted to lose a specific amount of weight by a specific date?

The first few weeks or days you work hard but the scale might not move at all.  Frustration leads to stress and bad choices. The snowball effect occurs. We get to that date and haven’t lost the weight.  Self-confidence decreases.

We’ve all been there. It’s the setting of this huge goal that is intimidating yet exciting but unattainable if we don’t “slice the elephant”.  Whether it is body composition changes, career transitions/goals or relationship changes, setting a resolution or goal that is too big and unattainable will lead to failure. Think of that big goal and break it down.  Making small changes and having small successes will lead to that final goal. Or maybe a long the way you see or find something else that leads you into a better direction.  Find a way to break down your goal, have someone to help you be accountable and learn from failures.  Most importantly be all in, be ready for road bumps, and be ready to accept a new path

Lastly, I’m here for those who want life coaching in this manner. Let me help you to accomplish a goal this year.


**Note: No elephants are harmed during the writing of this post or while working on goals**
