Here are a few tips from Rory, which we love and often use to help stick to our own personal goals. There is nothing worse than that feeling of over promising and under delivering… even if it’s to yourself!
Make ‘IF THEN’ plans…
If you find yourself making excuses, not sticking to your plans and seem to keep falling further and further away from your goals, then making ‘IF THEN’ plans could work for you.
How do they work?
Step 1: Set a realistic goal… e.g. Lose 5kg by September to feel good when planning on going on holiday ☀️
Step 2: Make your plan…e.g. Workout x4 hours a week
Step 3: Implement the IF THEN mentality
IF it’s Monday, Wednesday, Friday, THEN I’ll workout in the morning.
Have a backup:
IF I didn’t sleep well the night before, THEN I will go for a long walk instead.
IF work runs over and I miss my online class, THEN I will do 10 squats, 10 press ups, 10 burpees.
