A new month is always a great opportunity to assess where you are and plan out your next 30 days.
Especially when it comes to fitness, breaking things up into smaller chunks is a lot more manageable than looking at big, ambitious goals.
Whether your goal is to lose 30 pounds or add 30 pounds to your deadlift, you can’t do that today.
But you can take a moment to envision where you’d like to be in 30 days … and map out some mini-goals and action steps that will help you get there.
Tomorrow is June 1. Where would you like to be on July 1? What will you want to look back on with pride and satisfaction that you were able to accomplish?
It could be successfully completing 3 workouts a week … or shopping and meal-prepping every Sunday.
It could be something as simple as taking your multivitamins every day.
Maybe it’s getting outside and going for a walk after dinner 3 nights a week.
Or getting 7 hours of sleep at least 3 nights a week.
Perhaps hitting your water goal 20 times in the next 30 days seems less daunting than trying to do it every day.
Whatever goal you set, it’s important that it’s specific, measurable and realistic.
And it’s important that you have a way to track it.
If you don’t track it, you can’t improve it.
So what’s one small goal that you can set today, and look back 30 days from now with pride that you accomplished it?
Shoot me a reply, I’d love to hear about it … and I’d be happy to check in along the way and see how you’re doing.
