Good morning,
I always like going into a new month.
I use it as an opportunity to reflect on the previous and plan the next.
I used to just live day to day, not looking any further ahead but since the start of the year I enrolled onto a business coach to help me with things like time management, business planning, reviewing and work life balance.
It's made a huge difference to how I work (which is much more efficiently now) and how I see things.
I used to keep setting goals to do things but I'd get to the end of every month having not done them as I was too busy, then again it would be another month gone and the same thing happening.
I see this with health and fitness too.
Ladies getting to the start of each month (or week) and saying:
'I'm going to lose weight this month'
or
'I'm going to start exercising this month'
But that's all there is, INTENTION.
No planning around it.
Intention is great and is the first step but you need to do more.
If your intention is to lose weight this month then you need to do things e.g.
Get a healthy food shop in
Try and get rid of as much temptation in the house as you can
Tell friends and families what you're doing so they can support you
Set time aside to food prep/plan
If you don't do these things then before you know it another month has gone by and nothing has been done.
So it's early into August, look ahead for this month and:
1. Set your intention/goal
2. Plan how you can achieve it
Good luck and have a great day,
Jamie
