In the world of fitness, it’s common to hear people talk about their end goals. Whether it’s losing a certain amount of weight or achieving a specific body shape, many of us have a vision of where we want to be. But what if I told you that focusing solely on the end goal might not be the best approach?
Last month, I had a conversation with a lady who expressed her desire to lose 4 stone. As I listened, I couldn’t help but wonder if that was truly the goal she wanted to achieve. So, I asked her, “Do you want to be 8 stone?” It was a moment of realization that sometimes we set unrealistic and unhealthy goals without fully considering what we truly want.
After some further discussion, we were able to redefine her goal. Instead of fixating on a number on the scale, we focused on how she wanted to feel – energetic, confident, and strong. We set a goal of reaching 10 stone but more importantly, a toned physique and an overall sense of well-being.
With this new perspective, we were able to create a plan that felt achievable and sustainable. She committed to attending group coaching sessions twice a week, incorporating a starter walking plan three times a week, and making small adjustments to her nutrition.
The magic happened when she shifted her focus from the distant end goal to the daily and weekly tasks that would bring her closer to her desired outcome. By breaking down her goal into manageable steps, she gained momentum and started to see progress.
