It’s September 2018 and you are…..
If you answer “exactly where I am today”, then that’s fantastic and you don’t need to carry on reading.
If you know there’s something – or a whole heap of somethings – that you want to be different then what are you waiting for??
Let’s start with a home truth.
Nobody is going to do this for you.
It’s your life. You have got to decide – yes, make a decision woman (I say this to myself all the time) – what it is you want.
Saying to yourself “well, I don’t want blah” is not the way to do it. Nope.
Say what you want!! And then declare it in present tense.
For example:
“It’s September 2018 and I’m a toned 135lbs. I have tons of energy. I have great habits around drinking water, eating lots of greens, juicing and keeping up to date with health checks. I make the time to present myself well as it makes me feel great. When I feel this great and confident I feel in control of the rest of my day”.
Whoa, sounds great, doesn’t it?!
But it’s not just wishful thinking. Declare your statement for September 2018 and work backwards.
What do you have to do? When do you need to do it? Who do you want to be? How do you want to feel?
Break it down over the year so you can set monthly benchmarks for your success. Make yourself a habit tracker.
For example I may not want to jump from 2 cups of tea and a diet coke a day to 8 glasses of water but from now until December I can manage adding a full glass of water beside my bed and drink it as soon as I wake up = water and energy boost, bonus! And then I track it daily in my planner to keep on track. In January I add more.
As for getting to a toned 135lbs, I know I have options. I either pay for help in the way of a trainer, maybe a nutritionist, I already have the gym membership, or I get to work on researching exercises and recipes and commit to doing the work. More than likely it will be a combination of the two.
What I have learned is that intentions are great, but they are not as powerful when you keep them in your head.
Declare what you want. Write it down. Plan it.
Declare. Write. Plan…..Declare. Write. Plan.
Aaaaandddd. This is repeatable. Don’t restrict yourself to just changing one thing in your life. Consider all areas of your life – health, family, home, fun / social, spiritual, romance – and go for a WHOLE LIFE upgrade.
Declare. Write. Plan……You’re worth it.
Hugs, Vicky xx
