Have you ever made a goal, and 3 weeks down the line had it start to fade, and fade, and fade until you just forgot about it?
...Only to remember it STRONGLY 6 months down the line and feel like a loser for letting it get away, AGAIN...
You may have experienced "Vision-Leak" (a term I first heard from my friend Blanche at @rootedstrenghcoaching)
Think of it as a slow air leak out of a tire, you can drive on it (mostly pretty well) for a while, and then (if you don't continue to put air in it)...you find yourself with a flat tire and stuck
You make this goal, and little by little, If you don't continue to bolster your vision it fades to such a point that it's easier to do nothing than it is to find a reason to continue to work toward your goal
How do I prevent Vision Leak?
Find, create a touchable, physical item you see multiple times a day that directly relates to you reaching your goal (shirt, shorts, dress, jeans...)
Ask a friend or loved one to check in with you on your goal, daily if possible, and help hold you accountable
Get a coach, a nonjudgemental, professional who has tools and options to help you navigate the clearest most direct path to your goal, AND adjust if needed
