We discuss the key elements of an effective goal, starting with having a greater purpose fueling the accomplishment of the goal. We also discuss the principles of changing a habit, including - Secure a powerful "why" - accountability - applying faith - praying for God to give us the right vision or goal for us, not just copying someone else's goals - set long-term goals and short-term objectives - use an incremental reward system that doesn't sabotage the goal but that allows - know your temptations and protect yourself We discuss the positive meaning of discipline as a means of safety, growth, and a way to free us so we can do things in the future we cannot do now. Wendie describes the benefits of health coaching, including accountability, objective guidance, and professional expertise with personalized application. She also advises finding a coach who has a coach. We discuss how our goals can help us become better models and mentors to those we influence in our lives.
Coach Wendie notes the importance of setting specific health goals. She explains that we can break the goals down into personalized, bite-sized steps. The objectives and goals should be measurable as well.
Pett describes the value of lifestyle goals we maintain for our long-term well being.
Wendie Pett shares the process of unpacking the emotional component of each individual's struggle with physical health, fitness, nutrition, and wellness. She describes how forgiveness of ourselves and others can impact our health. Our cells hang onto negative emotions, which prove toxic to the body.
We discuss the impact of how we identify and define ourselves and our habits. What we say about who we are, what we do, and where we're going has a powerful impact on our lives.
