Choose one new habit to help you achieve your ultimate goal.

In my recent emails we have been talking about goals, depending on your goal, you might come up with a huge list of "ALL THE THINGS" you need to do to make your goal a reality.

But for right now, we’re just going to focus on ONE... and we're going to turn that ONE into a new habit!

In fact, one of the strategies that has been very successful for our clients is to simply integrate ONE new habit every month. Imagine doing this in your own life... if you simply created one new habit every month for a year, you’ll have installed 6 healthy new habits by the end of the year. How incredible is that?! Let’s break it down with some examples: 

#1. Goal: walk a 5K without stopping in the next 90 days.

Your Habit: The FIRST thing you’ll need to do isn’t going out to buy new running shoes. It’s blocking off time in your schedule ... and then RUNNING during that time! For example: new habit could be walking for 30 minutes, 4 days per week (and you’ve cleared your schedule to make it happen).

#2. Goal: Lose 30 pounds within 6 months.

Your Habit: The very first thing you need to do to lose weight is NOT cutting out entire food groups or going on a crazy yo-yo diet. Instead, your first step may be to eat portion-controlled meals that put you on-track for steady weight loss.

It could also be as simple as swapping out those 2 fizzy drinks you drink every day for water instead! Choose whatever habit is the best for YOU.

#3. Goal: Reduce stress levels by 50% in 60 days (and keep it low).

Your Habit: You can’t avoid all of the stress in your life, but you can come up with healthy ways to reduce its impact on you. Meditation is a proven method! Your first habit could be to block off 2 minutes everyday to meditate (you can do it in one sitting, or break it into two 1-minute chunks.)

#4. Goal: Save £1,000 in the next 12 months.

Your Habit: Simple! Your new habit is to transfer £20 from your bank account into a separate savings account every week over the next 12 months.
