Do you ever give up what you want MOST for what you want NOW?

Think about it...

If what you want most is to lose the weight once and for all but then you give in and order pizza for dinner, you’ve just given up what you want MOST (a healthier, leaner body) for what you wanted NOW (convenient and comforting food).

It’s worth thinking about.

Are your actions consistent with your goals?

This is true of any goal and it’s not limited to your wellness journey.

If you want to write a book, you’d better make time to sit down and type.

If you want to travel the world, you’d better get yourself a passport.

If you want to run a marathon, you’d better start training.

If you want your kids to live a healthy life, you’d better model it for them.

If your actions don’t support your goal, then you’ll never accomplish it, and maybe you didn’t really want it.

Your actions will always dictate your results.

If becoming healthier and leaner is something that you really want, take the action each and every day…

Always here

In order for your actions to be consistent with your goals, you must define precisely what your goals are.

Take the time to think about it, clearly define and then write out your goals.

This is your target.

Now, examine your actions. Are they consistent with your goals? Are they taking you in the right direction? If yes, then keep it up! If no, then it’s time to adopt some new actions.
