It’s that time of year when we’re bombarded with the 21 day, 6 week, 8 week, 12 week, you name it “Challenge”. Anything from reset, reshape to transform to kick start your health and that new body you’ve always dreamed of. How many challenges have you signed up to, completed, got the results you wanted, transformed and reset your life and health? Are you exhausted from always being on a challenge or thinking about the next one you should sign up for, never having completed any of the previous ones you signed up to or seen them through all the way to the end.
There is no doubt that a challenge exists only the real challenge is this thing we call life and how you choose to show up each day and create your own sustainable Health and Wellness. You can choose to see life for all that it is, an amazing playing ground for exploration, learning, highs and lows, gifts and gratitude.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good challenge. A challenge that takes you on an adventure of exploration and learning with a clear vision and focus can be powerful beyond measure, only most people do not do the work involved to truly commit to the outcome they’re looking for. The creation and documentation of a clear Goal is absolutely the key as is the alignment of that Goal to what truly matters most to you. You will need to commit to achieving the outcome. Being interested is not going to get you there. More on Goals in my next BLOG – stay tuned or connect with me and I can send it directly to your inbox.
Back to the challenge point – the challenge is real only the solution does not exist in signing up to another challenge. Let’s get real. The challenge is within you. The amazing news is that because it’s within you then you are in control and have influence over how to achieve whatever you want. You have all the resourcefulness you need right now.
The challenge is in the exploration and learning of what truly matters to you and any challenge you take on must be aligned to this or you just simply will not follow through with it. It’s in the purpose for which you truly want what the challenge has to offer – if it’s your health and wellness then that has to truly matter to you and you’ll have to commit, to do whatever it takes and not just be interested and do what’s convenient and at a convenient time.
Small steps taken consistently toward a clearly defined and committed Goal is a far more successful way of nailing a challenge and the biggest playing ground is life itself. It’s in the daily practice of fundamentals that mastery is pursued. It’s the building blocks of small sustainable change. The consistent movement to stir your emotion that drives you to create new habits that in turn can be life changing.
So either commit to the challenge or get off the cycle of the next challenge.
