  Speaker 2: Now, Alena, we start off the year and where a
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: lot of people make resolutions, we're gonna we're gonna make
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: set goals for the twenty twenty five and then talk
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: by the end of maybe this week they're gone.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: No, we're gonna it's gonna work this year.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Back, how do you maintain this year?
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: We're going to do it. How do you be different
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: this year?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, how do we do it?
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: So we got to maintain that momentum throughout the year.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: And the very first step, which might sound pretty simple,
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: is to set specific goals. So define what success actually
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: looks like for you. So, for example, instead of saying
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: I'm going to drink more water, set a specific goal
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: of maybe drinking two leaders per day.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, So get very specific and don't say you know,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and by the end of the year, I want to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: be doing this, say I want here's what I want
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to do today?
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I love that today, but well you can't. So I
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: want to make a million dollars this year, but I
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: have okay, but I have to set it up so
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: that I say, how much are you making today? I
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: will make probably eighty four dollars?
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: And what are you going to do today that will
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: help move you towards that overall goal?
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: What are you going to do? Rob a bank?
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: I do not encourage that.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I'm on the wrong track. Now, let's just move on.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: So the next step is to visualize your success using
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: tools like vision boards. Positive affirmations and meditations can help
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: you to picture what success looks like, and tools like
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: that vision board can really help to remind you of
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: what those overall goals are, especially on days when you
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: just don't feel like doing it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Now, maybe I don't really know what a vision board is.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Essentially, it is either a digital or physical product that
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: has pictures of what you'd like your life to look like.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I see, okay, all right, yeah, I'm going to put
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: a put a picture of somebody really handsome in front
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: of me and look like that.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. The next step is to track your progress using
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: a tool like a journal or app, just keeping track
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: of the steps that you're taking along the way as
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: well as those milestones that you're reaching day to day,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: week to week, month to month.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: What happens when so let's say you're tracking your weight
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and it keeps going up and stead down and then
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: you end up you end up throwing your phone on
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the floor. I mean, you're just yeah, it's very discouraging sometimes.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, And you know, another reason we track is so
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: that we can see if we need to make adjustments
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: to to our habits and what we're doing each day.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: And you know, we in particular can be one of
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: those little bit more frustrating things. Just remind yourself that
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: weight's going to fluctuate day to day, week to week,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and as long as you're over time making some progress,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: that one or two days where maybe you had some
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: extra water or sodium and you're a little bloated are
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: not the end of the world.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Did I just bloated?
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I've been doing this with with my blood pressure and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: taking it all every day, And you're right, if you
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: don't do it all the time, you could kind of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: freak out about it. But when you look at the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: whole picture rather than just one day, you're like, Okay,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I had a bad day, for whatever reason, but it's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: better generally.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Oh those the day I hate that crawler. All right, well,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: now what do we do track your progress? Then? What's
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the support system?
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, establish a support system. Surround yourself with friends and
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: family that support your goals and maybe even accountability buddies
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: who are working toward the same or similar goals. And
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: if you need something a little more, think about working
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: with a coach, a mentor a counselor a professional who
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: can help you kind of move forward.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: You know. And this is now, this is absolutely true,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: and it'll sound like I'm making a joke, but I
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: have the tendency. Let's say I want to stop drinking
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: for a month and they say, so you should. You
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: should set up a buddy, know, somebody that you who
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: loves you and say I'm going to want to be
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: accountable to you and I want to, Yes, so keep
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: help me keep on track. But I don't do that
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: because I'm afraid that I will disappoint them all you
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. It's like I'll be embarrassed. I
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: haven't so but that's just me. That's anyway, support system,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: reward yourself.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Reward yourself. And this just means celebrating those little milestones
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: along the way. And part of this is if you're tracking,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: you're going to be able to see those small pieces
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: of success as you're going. And these celebrations can be
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: anything giving yourself a high five, throwing yourself a dance party,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: maybe even purchasing something that is connected with that goal,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: you know, if you're trying to drink more water, maybe
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: buying a really fancy water bottle.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, listen, we have to wrap it up here. Yes,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: stay flexible, that's the last one. Just give yourself a break.
• 6:03
