Every year, many will make bold goals. Lately, the trend is to take a selfie that doesn’t really show your best side, in an attempt to shame oneself into making a change, physically. If this is what it takes to get you to make the changes you have wanted, then by all means go for it.
However, if this strategy works long term, you will be in the minority. In fact, the only way that we truly will make a change in our life, is if there is a truly meaningful reason behind it.
The real question we need to ask ourselves is: Why do we want that?
Wrap the “why” into your goal every step of the way. Meaning, every decision you make that will potentially get you closer to your goal or potentially keep you away from reaching you goal will be coupled with your “why”.
Sometimes, the “why” is the goal itself. If that is enough for you to take action, then great! However, most of us have to lean on something more personal. Maybe this means the goal, if achieved, will have a positive effect on a relationship that is currently strained. This emotionally charged “why”, if true for our purpose of action, will help get us the results we are looking for.
Let’s all set meaningful goals that truly move the needle in our lives, and if one of those is to get healthier in 2024, I hope you include Chiropractic!
