  Speaker 1: Elena would. Good morning Elena Wood from Nightingale. Goal Setting,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: goal setting.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, why are you grumpy about goal setting?
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Bill? Well, I have to have the gold up up.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I set a goal for myself to set goals, and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I just didn't work.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, this is so valid. And you know, I think
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: a lot of times we kind of know the things
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: that we should be doing right, like we should be
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: getting more sleep and drinking more water and moving our body,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: and there's just this gap between knowing and doing right.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Sometimes the Grand Canyon is that.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: And I've been there, trust me, I've been to the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Grand Canyon too. As a matter of fact, I've been
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Well, what so setting goals, where do you begin?
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: So, you know a lot of times we kind of
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: have this ambivalence or kind of resistance to change, and
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: this is one of the reasons that it makes it
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: kind of hard to get going on those goals. And
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I just I want to let you know that this
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: is normal and natural to have have these feelings. Ok, yeah, yeah,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: it's part of this just means that the goal is
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: important to you. If you are feeling worried about making change.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: It means that it matters, and so kind of lean
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: into that, celebrate that, and then take those next steps.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, well word you then what.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Then? What?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: So a lot of changs. We set goals that are
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: kind of too much all at once. You know, tomorrow
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna help for ten hours and I'm only going
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: to eat broccoli and I'm going to sleep for eight hours.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: And you know it's it's too much. So start small.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Take exactly, I'm going to do eat an elephant.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I am going to do a push up, yeah, this afternoon, if.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: That's one more than you did yesterday. I haven't done
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: a push up in ten years exactly.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And you can even start against the wall. Start
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: on your couch or your bench, so you're not going
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: straight to the floor.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I don't like to start against the wall because I've
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: been yelled. I've been hearing them yell get.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Up against the wall. Oh no, too many times, so
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I don't do that different.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Wall, yes, yes, totally different.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: So but so just start small. One day a week,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: add a vegetable.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I'm going to add a vegetable to my exercise one
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: day a week.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: As you do your push up, you take a bite
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: of that broccoli, exactly, press yourself back up.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: There you go, All right, Now where do we go?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: We just go to those basics. You know a lot
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: of times we think, Okay, I've got to do the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: ice bath, I've got to do the inner minute fasting,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and not that there's anything wrong with these, but scaling
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: back and again just keeping it simple, starting with those basics.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: What are the things we know we need to do?
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Probably drink more water, get more sleep, eat more than
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: it's just it's change. Is not as flashy and sexy
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: as we often think it needs to be, just those small,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: simple things.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, years ago I trained for a marathon and I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: realized that it's a it's a very difficult thing to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: do on your own because you're you're so you're prone
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to injury. You know, you do you know, you don't know.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you do too much and you don't realize.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: You're doing it.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, I think.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: It's amazing that people do it without having a trainer.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: So maybe that's something to help you get to your goals,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to say, maybe it's some higher a train.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, working with a coach, a trainer, even
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: just having a good friend who has the same or
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: similar goals can really be helpful and can help keep
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: you a little more motivated early on a Tuesday morning
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: when you don't feel like doing anything, right.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Yeah, And that's what I had a friend
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: he had run a marathon before, so I trained with
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: him and kind of and and we did it, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I went and ran the Saint George Marathon and then
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: never ran another race in my life.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: You know, that's okay. If the goal was to do
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the one thing.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: I did it one thing, one time. Let's see what
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: else do we need to focus.
• 4:46

• 5:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of balance in their lives. So you know,
