Lately I’ve been thinking about goals. When you reach a goal, what do you do?

I don’t recommend necessarily increasing the same goal (such as “I cut 2 minutes off my 5K time, now I’ll cut 5 minutes off!”). For one thing, as you get in better and better shape, you start to plateau, and reaching those goals will become harder and harder.

Instead, focus on something else. For instance, “Okay, I’m eating a salad every day. Now I need to add more exercise.” OR “I’ve been doing a lot of cardio, now I need to work on flexibility.” Or maybe your new goal doesn’t even have to be fitness related. “I want to focus on reducing stress” or “spending more time with close friends”.

What you DON’T want to do is to stop growing, reaching, learning, and trying.

What are your current goals? Remember, I’m here if you want to talk about how we can work together on those. 🙂
