In this episode I discuss how you can create your “why” to ensure you live your best healthy life. These are the points I cover:
Reflect on your values: Consider the things that are most important to you in life. Perhaps you value being present for your family, achieving your career aspirations, or experiencing new adventures. Reflect on how your health and fitness are connected to these values.
Identify your priorities: Think about the areas of your life where you want to focus your energy and attention. Maybe you want to excel in your career, build deeper connections with loved ones, or pursue a new hobby. Consider how improving your health and fitness can help you achieve these priorities.
Consider your aspirations: Think about your long-term health and fitness goals. Maybe you want to run a marathon, complete a tough hiking trail, or simply feel comfortable and confident in your own skin. Consider how achieving these goals can positively impact your life.
Reflect on your past experiences: Consider any past experiences related to your health and fitness. Maybe you've struggled with your weight, faced a health scare, or felt self-conscious about your appearance. Reflect on how these experiences have shaped your perspective and priorities.
Consider your personal challenges: Think about any personal challenges or obstacles that may be impacting your health and fitness. Maybe you struggle with stress, lack of time, or a medical condition. Consider how overcoming these challenges can help you achieve your health and fitness goals.
Write down your why: Once you have reflected on your values, priorities, aspirations, past experiences, and personal challenges, write down your why. This can be a simple statement that summarizes the reasons why you want to improve your health and fitness.
Use your why to set goals: Use your why to set specific and measurable health and fitness goals that align with your values and priorities. Make sure your goals are challenging yet achievable.
Revisit your why regularly: Revisit your why regularly to stay motivated and focused on your health and fitness goals. Consider how your why may have evolved over time and adjust your goals accordingly.
By creating your why in the context of health and fitness, you can develop a clear and compelling reason for making positive changes to your health and fitness. You can use your why to set goals, stay motivated, and stay focused on your long-term vision.
