One of the GetFit Fundamentals is the Goal Achievement Strategy. It is a workbook and an on going strategy to go about setting and achieving some of your biggest wildest dreams. Each of my intern coaches must go through the workbook as part of their induction… Here is an account of one of their experiences with it…
“It was about three weeks ago that I completed the Goal achievement strategy, and i have to say I did not find it easy……so why did I find it soo difficult and was it worth it??
When I first read it I almost panicked and felt scared….
I had not asked myself these questions since probably when I was in school talking to somebody like the careers people and even that was not as in-depth as this. It took me a while to digest it and to get on bored with this line of thinking…….why??? well I think that I had fallen into the trap(unknowingly) that allot of women do when they have children
For the last 3 years I have been a housewife looking after my very energetic 3 year old and without really realizing it I fell into the trap of coming last, your child partner house stuff and everything else that is entailed with becoming a mother be it working or not always comes first. There is so much to think about and do that on top of that you never get round to or do very little for yourself.
So I slowly plucked up the courage to write down what I really want and what I want to achieve,even writing that with the words “I” in feels good. It was hard going doing it but it felt like a relief when i had written it all down , it wasn’t to be scared of anymore it was to be broken down into little steps that would get me to achieving my Goal.
So how am I doing 3 and bit weeks down the road?? Well I have taken some small steps towards my goal so, I’m on the right path. I had a very hectic and stress full week this week so when it came to writing about my experience of the goal achievement strategy so far I re-read it, which I am so glad I did!! it put things back into perspective and made me realize what I’m working for and towards, which of course in a way you could say is the moral of the story!!
The whole point is to be active on my goal. It can be so easy to let real life get in the way sometimes, you need to read your goals again and again, and do something about them.
In answer to my question above is it worth it???, Yes it is, I’m enjoying the journey so far and very much looking forward to achieving my goal, so far so good!!!”
