Harder than it looks ?

Since the start of the year I have been watching with a smile the amount of live videos popping up in my social media streams of people sharing their new found love of walking or exercising or eating more healthily, each day there they are telling me how great they feel and how its changing their lives, but over the last week or so, something is changing.

One by one they are disappearing; the videos are not their or they go from one a day to two a week to none. So what’s happening? What does this tell us about these people?

Well I am writing this with my tongue in my cheek of course, it makes these people normal human beings, people who like us all set a goal, get really excited about it. Really want to do it, but when it comes to the big bit of doing…well that’s harder than it looks and so after a while the good old ways, the simple ways, the easy ways slip back into place.

Setting goals and targets is the easy bit, doing the big stuff to make them happen, that’s the tough bit and that’s why 80 % of people fail, it takes dedication, discipline, desire and drive to succeed and you have to buy into it 100%

What’s in it for you ? if you don’t have a strong enough reason you have failed already. This is why coaching can be so effective. Someone to talk through your goals, ensure they are really about you and get your full focus. A cheerleader, to keep you on track and be there through the tough times and push you that little bit further, offering advice , guidance and support.

So remember what ever your targets and goals are this year, making them happen is tough, you need to really want to do it and its easier not doing it alone.
