Speaker 1: God, I'm Sam Wood. This is your motivational moment, and
Speaker 1: it would be remiss of me as we wind up
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two to not get you to start thinking
Speaker 1: about goal setting for twenty twenty three. Now. I'm not
Speaker 1: at all saying you need to start actioning these. Enjoy
Speaker 1: your December, but I do see often people rush their
Speaker 1: goal setting. It's the fifth of januarinely, oh, I haven't
Speaker 1: really said any goals. I'm any miny money and I'm
Speaker 1: just going to do that and it doesn't really work.
Speaker 1: You really want to give it some thought. You want
Speaker 1: to give it some time. It should be really personal
Speaker 1: to you and that will give you the best chance
Speaker 1: of success. You don't need to have too many goals.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's always the smart principle when it comes
Speaker 1: to goal setting, which just as a reminder is it
Speaker 1: should be specific, it should be measurable, it should be achievable,
Speaker 1: it should be relevant, relevant to you, as I said,
Speaker 1: and it should be time based. So this is what
Speaker 1: I want to achieve within a one month period, of
Speaker 1: three month period in twenty twenty three, whatever it might
Speaker 1: be on that last one on time. Don't set a
Speaker 1: goal for the whole year. You can have an idea
Speaker 1: in your head to where you want to be at
Speaker 1: the end of twenty twenty three. But I see much
Speaker 1: greater success for people that either work in a one
Speaker 1: month or a two month block. So just think, for now,
Speaker 1: what do I want to achieve in January. That's going
Speaker 1: to be building block number one. That's going to again,
Speaker 1: it's going to be achievable, it's going to be measurable,
Speaker 1: it's going to be very specific. I'm going to set
Speaker 1: that twenty eight day or one month goal. I'm going
Speaker 1: to achieve that. When I achieve that, what's that going
Speaker 1: to do. It's going to give me self belief, it's
Speaker 1: going to give me momentum to carry through into the month,
Speaker 1: the other months for the rest of the year. And
Speaker 1: it's going to be the first building block that I'm
Speaker 1: putting in place as I tick these things off. And
Speaker 1: you might have a different way one month goal for
Speaker 1: your health, as you do your work, as you do
Speaker 1: your family. You might have three goals, but they're all
Speaker 1: a one month goal each or a two month goal each.
Speaker 1: So I would absolutely recommend that that's where you start.
Speaker 1: Don't look too far ahead because you'll lose your way,
Speaker 1: you become disenchanted by it, or you can't see the
Speaker 1: light at the end of the tunnel, you kind of
Speaker 1: forget what that goal even was. You want to write
Speaker 1: it down, You want to see it regularly, you know,
Speaker 1: write it on the mirror, in a whiteboard marker, put
Speaker 1: it on the fridge, put it somewhere that you're going
Speaker 1: to see pretty much on a daily basis, so it's
Speaker 1: front and center. You don't lose your way. It's not
Speaker 1: too big because it's only within a thirty day block,
Speaker 1: and it's not too far away because it's only in
Speaker 1: the thirty day block. I'm really really big on that.
Speaker 1: The next thing I'm going to say is it doesn't
Speaker 1: have to start on gen one. Gen one is just
Speaker 1: one of three hundred and sixty five days. If you're
Speaker 1: not ready, and by that I mean if you're not
Speaker 1: in the right psychological space, not in the right environment,
Speaker 1: if it's not the best platform for you to give
Speaker 1: it the time and the focus that it needs, don't
Speaker 1: start it yet. I see great success from people from
Speaker 1: a fitness perspective when they start on the first Effeir.
Speaker 1: Kids are back at school, I'm back in my work routine,
Speaker 1: all of the social activities that involve alcohol and structures
Speaker 1: kind of out the window are slowly dissipating, and I
Speaker 1: can finally now look after me because I've kind of
Speaker 1: been taken care of the whole family. I see this
Speaker 1: with mums a lot. They're juggling everything, they're looking after everyone.
Speaker 1: They tend to put themselves last. They try to start
Speaker 1: a goal on the tenth of gen and it lasts
Speaker 1: about three days and it doesn't really work. And what
Speaker 1: really sort of breaks my heart is they almost think that, oh, well,
Speaker 1: I tried, I tried in that year and it didn't work.
Speaker 1: But if they'd started it three weeks later, it would
Speaker 1: have stuck, they would have seen it through and the
Speaker 1: whole year could have had a different story. So wait
Speaker 1: till the right time, remove the distractions or way till
Speaker 1: those distractions naturally dissipate, and then be really specific with
Speaker 1: what you want to achieve. As I said, for the
Speaker 1: next thirty or sixty days, over the next couple of
Speaker 1: weeks between now and Christmas, I want you to write
Speaker 1: down one, what is your goal You're thirty or sixty
Speaker 1: day goal. I'll let you choose two. When is going
Speaker 1: to be the right time for me to start that.
Speaker 1: And then three go through that smart principle as a
Speaker 1: bit of a checklist to make sure that you've done
Speaker 1: it right. Is it specific, is it measurable, is it achievable?
Speaker 1: Is it relevant to me? And then from a time perspective, yes,
Speaker 1: it's thirty to sixty days. But when it's wrought Tom
