WEBVTT - MOTIVATIONAL MOMENT: Mid year check-in 📅

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Good Ar'm Sam Wood, and welcome to your motivational moment

0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:06.920
<v Speaker 1>for this week. It is time for our mid year

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:15.120
<v Speaker 1>check in. It's nearly the half way point of twenty

0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:17.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty three. So rather than me sit here and say

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 1>have you done your taxes as in the financial year

0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:22.520
<v Speaker 1>sales on if, we're not going to do that, but

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.280
<v Speaker 1>what we are going to do is have a six

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>month check in. And I love that we're doing this

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>because I feel I feel it would be remissive me.

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>You're responsible of me, wouldn't be doing my job properly

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.519
<v Speaker 1>if I fired you all up for your Newears resolutions

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>like I think we did, but then didn't check up

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:41.519
<v Speaker 1>on you. No, we had our last little check up

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>at the three month mark of twenty twenty three, so

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.840
<v Speaker 1>it is time to check in again because I think

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.159
<v Speaker 1>sometimes the best way to move forward is to really

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>have a good hard look at ourselves and our routine

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>and our habits in the mirror and be honest with ourselfs.

0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Because if we don't do that, if we don't sometimes

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>stop and assess, it's impossible to put a plan together

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>that's going to help us move forward. So there's three

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:06.559
<v Speaker 1>things that I want.

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 2>You to do.

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Number one, reflect look back at what you've done over

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>the last six months. And a lot of people focus

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>on the negative when they reflect. It's a bit of

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>it can be quite a negative experience. We tend to

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 1>almost subconsciously do it. We're very hard on ourselves. We

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.480
<v Speaker 1>look at all the things we're not doing, all the

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>things we should be doing better. We compare ourselves with

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.319
<v Speaker 1>that person or that person, and we're never really happy

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.479
<v Speaker 1>with what we've done. We're not going to do that.

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>We're going to do the opposite. We're going to reflect

0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>on the last six months and you're going to look

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>at the things that you have done or you are

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>consistently doing well. You're going to look at yourself in

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>the mirror and you're not even going to give a

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>second thought to what you could have done better or

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 1>what you're not doing well. You're going to really reflect

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 1>on what you have done well or you're continually doing

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>well on a consistent basis, and you're going to double

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>down on that. You're going to write that thing down,

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 1>you're going to put it up in lights, and you're

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>going to give yourself some damn recognition and a little

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>bit of gratitude. You're actually going to have a moment

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>where you say, I'm proud of myself and I'm grateful

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:21.639
<v Speaker 1>that I'm taking care of myself in this way. Number Two,

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.920
<v Speaker 1>you're going to set a goal. We've reflected to what

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>we've done well over the last six months, but we

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.359
<v Speaker 1>also need to look forward. What are we going to achieve?

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 1>And this is where I think belief becomes really important.

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I listen really carefully to people's word choice, and I

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 1>watch their body language often drop their heads if they

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 1>don't actually believe that what they're setting themselves to do

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>that they can achieve. It's oh yeah, by the end

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>of the year, I'm going to be doing it. No normal,

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>come on, say it like you mean it. And it's

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 1>the word choice. Often if you don't think you're going

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>to be able to do it, you say, I guess

0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.519
<v Speaker 1>over the next six months, I hope to dot dot

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>dot dot. No. No, no, we're going to scrap that.

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>In the next six months, I will finish that sentence.

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Not I hope to not. It's not a wishy washy

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 1>time frame. By Christmas Day of twenty twenty three, I

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 1>will achieve boom. Fill in the gap that's what you

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>have to do. That's goal setting then, and most importantly,

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>what is your plan? No point having the goal without

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 1>the plan. How do I deconstruct the Shepherd's Pie? If

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I want the perfect shepherds by by Christmas and who

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 1>eat Shepherd's Pie for Christmas with the in Australia worst

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>analogy of all time. But I'm leaving it. I'm not

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 1>going back. I could go back and record something else

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>that would be better, but I'm not. It could be

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 1>a Christmas pudding that would have been better, but I'm not.

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>We're sticking with Shepherd's Pie. How do I deconstruct the

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Shepherd's Pie? What are the key ingredients of my plan

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>that will ultimately lead to the success for production or

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>creation of my Shepherd's buy. So might be my sleep,

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>it might be my exercise. It might be my nutrition.

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>It might be my consistency. It might be ius bars,

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>It might be what a consumption. It doesn't matter. But

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>you need to have some parameters, some rules, some boundaries

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:19.039
<v Speaker 1>around your movement, around your meals, around your motivation and

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>mindfulness in some capacity so that when you look at it,

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>you're not leaving things to chance. Put the health parameters

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>in a holistic way, so you're not just focusing on fitness,

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.839
<v Speaker 1>you're not just focusing on food. There's a holistic outlook.

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Put those parameters in there your plan. They're leading towards

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.919
<v Speaker 1>the goal. But before you do that, give yourself a

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 1>nice pat on the back for what you've already done.

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:54.359
<v Speaker 2>In twenty twenty three.

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 1>So you listen to task and you know what's coming,

0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:02.039
<v Speaker 1>or work backwards. What's your what are those parameters in

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:06.160
<v Speaker 1>each of those holistic parts of proper fitness, proper wellness?

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.480
<v Speaker 1>What's your goal? And do they make sense? Do they

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 1>talk to each other, do they align with each other?

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 1>And before you do any of those things, let's stop,

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>let's smell the roses, and let's give ourselves a well

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.479
<v Speaker 1>deserved pat on the back forward. Already done well in

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three,
