I think we really need to start creating small, ACCESSIBLE goals. Even 30 day challenges can offer, well, too many challenges to complete it. And most often we create goals to achieve them. So, we feel like poop when we don't make our goal. We set new ones, hope for the best....and ultimately may stop setting goals all together. What makes goals challenging to complete? Time constraints, too intense of an approach, limiting parameters or "rules", feeling stressed fitting into schedule, it's just not enjoyable. I set small goals that can build on other goals if I so choose. Some past and current goals: »Puppy press for 7 days. If I missed a day I just did my best to do it the next. I think it took me 10 days. I did all 7 in a decent amount of time and that's fabulous. I even saw progress. »A "handstand a day." Just pop upside down when I can for a sec, few minutes, or entire session. I miss many days. I see lite progress always. »Take care of my hair once a week. I have a natural chem-free regime I've implemented this summer. Picking a week day and sticking to it makes this on attainable. »Cold press juice once per week. As you've noticed, I've stopped this goal. It became very unenjoyable cleaning everything + stressful, though super fucking delicious. It will start back up whenever my body is ready. No shame, or whateva. »Cook a batch of rice, make vegan baja sauce, and energy ballz once a week. On the weeks I miss I feeeeel the "hurt", haha. I love this lifestyle goal. »Current goal is shared with Ted! Once per week we will do acro yoga. He felt super sore this week from much gym time, so we found what worked to hit our goal on week one. Starting your goal when intended is important- "starting on the right foot" 〰 #goals #yoga #acroyoga #partnergoals #loveyourself #upsidedown #love #partneryoga #relationshipgoals #yogagirls #handmadeunderwear #consciousliving #relationshipgoal #bestboyfriend #yogaathome #hippiehome #setgoals #yogachallenge #challengeyourself #beagoddess #hippiecouple #hippielove #partnerincrime #partnerworkout #yogaeverywhere #yogaeverydamnday #handstand #handstands #handstandlove #puppypress (at Madison, Wisconsin)
