Your fourth wellness step is to take action!
-
Break your goals down into behavior-based (NOT outcome based) steps. For example, an action goal is “I will chop an apple right after dinner three nights this week to eat if I get the munchies later.” An action goal is NOT “I will lose 5 pounds this week.”
-
Action steps should feel doable but a bit of a push for you.
-
Action steps should be specific – what, when, where, how often.
-
Celebrate your successes at the end of the week (in a way consistent with your goals 🙂
-
Identify the challenges or obstacles you encountered this week
(Note I didn’t say beat yourself up about them! I said ‘identify them’ and see what you can learn from them for next week!)
