What are you trying to do or achieve in life? When looking at achieving goals one must ask important questions. Some desire to lose weight. Others want to start dating and be in a healthy relationship. Or maybe your career path is not clear. One must decipher first where they would like to be in life in that particular area. It is like (back in the day) being at the mall looking at a map that says, “you are here” and discovering that the store you are looking for is on a whole other level. Once I make a (SMART) Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic & Time framed determination/goal of where I aim to be , then another pivotal question must be asked…
How do I get there? Now that I know where I want to be, I need to know what STEPS that should be taken to reach that goal. It is not good enough to come the realization that the space you are in needs to change. The steps that are needed to create the life you desire has to brought to the forefront of awareness. In order to lose weight, one has to have an action plan noted with specific clear steps to take that move in closer to the end objective. For example, eating recommended portions, walking 3xs a week and eliminating processed foods from your diet are specific action steps aimed at the target of losing weight.
