Speaker 1: Good Ar'm Sam Wood, and welcome to your motivational moment
Speaker 1: for this week. It is time for our mid year
Speaker 1: check in. It's nearly the half way point of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three. So rather than me sit here and say
Speaker 1: have you done your taxes as in the financial year
Speaker 1: sales on if, we're not going to do that, but
Speaker 1: what we are going to do is have a six
Speaker 1: month check in. And I love that we're doing this
Speaker 1: because I feel I feel it would be remissive me.
Speaker 1: You're responsible of me, wouldn't be doing my job properly
Speaker 1: if I fired you all up for your Newears resolutions
Speaker 1: like I think we did, but then didn't check up
Speaker 1: on you. No, we had our last little check up
Speaker 1: at the three month mark of twenty twenty three, so
Speaker 1: it is time to check in again because I think
Speaker 1: sometimes the best way to move forward is to really
Speaker 1: have a good hard look at ourselves and our routine
Speaker 1: and our habits in the mirror and be honest with ourselfs.
Speaker 1: Because if we don't do that, if we don't sometimes
Speaker 1: stop and assess, it's impossible to put a plan together
Speaker 1: that's going to help us move forward. So there's three
Speaker 1: things that I want.
Speaker 2: You to do.
Speaker 1: Number one, reflect look back at what you've done over
Speaker 1: the last six months. And a lot of people focus
Speaker 1: on the negative when they reflect. It's a bit of
Speaker 1: it can be quite a negative experience. We tend to
Speaker 1: almost subconsciously do it. We're very hard on ourselves. We
Speaker 1: look at all the things we're not doing, all the
Speaker 1: things we should be doing better. We compare ourselves with
Speaker 1: that person or that person, and we're never really happy
Speaker 1: with what we've done. We're not going to do that.
Speaker 1: We're going to do the opposite. We're going to reflect
Speaker 1: on the last six months and you're going to look
Speaker 1: at the things that you have done or you are
Speaker 1: consistently doing well. You're going to look at yourself in
Speaker 1: the mirror and you're not even going to give a
Speaker 1: second thought to what you could have done better or
Speaker 1: what you're not doing well. You're going to really reflect
Speaker 1: on what you have done well or you're continually doing
Speaker 1: well on a consistent basis, and you're going to double
Speaker 1: down on that. You're going to write that thing down,
Speaker 1: you're going to put it up in lights, and you're
Speaker 1: going to give yourself some damn recognition and a little
Speaker 1: bit of gratitude. You're actually going to have a moment
Speaker 1: where you say, I'm proud of myself and I'm grateful
Speaker 1: that I'm taking care of myself in this way. Number Two,
Speaker 1: you're going to set a goal. We've reflected to what
Speaker 1: we've done well over the last six months, but we
Speaker 1: also need to look forward. What are we going to achieve?
Speaker 1: And this is where I think belief becomes really important.
Speaker 1: I listen really carefully to people's word choice, and I
Speaker 1: watch their body language often drop their heads if they
Speaker 1: don't actually believe that what they're setting themselves to do
Speaker 1: that they can achieve. It's oh yeah, by the end
Speaker 1: of the year, I'm going to be doing it. No normal,
Speaker 1: come on, say it like you mean it. And it's
Speaker 1: the word choice. Often if you don't think you're going
Speaker 1: to be able to do it, you say, I guess
Speaker 1: over the next six months, I hope to dot dot
Speaker 1: dot dot. No. No, no, we're going to scrap that.
Speaker 1: In the next six months, I will finish that sentence.
Speaker 1: Not I hope to not. It's not a wishy washy
Speaker 1: time frame. By Christmas Day of twenty twenty three, I
Speaker 1: will achieve boom. Fill in the gap that's what you
Speaker 1: have to do. That's goal setting then, and most importantly,
Speaker 1: what is your plan? No point having the goal without
Speaker 1: the plan. How do I deconstruct the Shepherd's Pie? If
Speaker 1: I want the perfect shepherds by by Christmas and who
Speaker 1: eat Shepherd's Pie for Christmas with the in Australia worst
Speaker 1: analogy of all time. But I'm leaving it. I'm not
Speaker 1: going back. I could go back and record something else
Speaker 1: that would be better, but I'm not. It could be
Speaker 1: a Christmas pudding that would have been better, but I'm not.
Speaker 1: We're sticking with Shepherd's Pie. How do I deconstruct the
Speaker 1: Shepherd's Pie? What are the key ingredients of my plan
Speaker 1: that will ultimately lead to the success for production or
Speaker 1: creation of my Shepherd's buy. So might be my sleep,
Speaker 1: it might be my exercise. It might be my nutrition.
Speaker 1: It might be my consistency. It might be ius bars,
Speaker 1: It might be what a consumption. It doesn't matter. But
Speaker 1: you need to have some parameters, some rules, some boundaries
Speaker 1: around your movement, around your meals, around your motivation and
Speaker 1: mindfulness in some capacity so that when you look at it,
Speaker 1: you're not leaving things to chance. Put the health parameters
Speaker 1: in a holistic way, so you're not just focusing on fitness,
Speaker 1: you're not just focusing on food. There's a holistic outlook.
Speaker 1: Put those parameters in there your plan. They're leading towards
Speaker 1: the goal. But before you do that, give yourself a
Speaker 1: nice pat on the back for what you've already done.
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: So you listen to task and you know what's coming,
Speaker 1: or work backwards. What's your what are those parameters in
Speaker 1: each of those holistic parts of proper fitness, proper wellness?
Speaker 1: What's your goal? And do they make sense? Do they
Speaker 1: talk to each other, do they align with each other?
Speaker 1: And before you do any of those things, let's stop,
Speaker 1: let's smell the roses, and let's give ourselves a well
Speaker 1: deserved pat on the back forward. Already done well in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three,
