I LOVE the beginning of the month because it always feels like the PERFECT time to renew commitments, start new goals, and while it can be scary/intimating deciding that today is the first step on whatever journey you embark on....it's also EXCITING to know that in less than a month...you can start a new habit...change your life for the better....help others and inspire them to start their own journey...AHHHH the possibilities!! Can you feel it??
Want to reach some goals (personal, weight loss, business) WRITE THE DOWN... on paper, with a pen. There is a subconscious connection when you take that physical action. Even better... it's July 1st...first day of the month! Just think of what you could do in the next 30 days! Just try it. It works.
My 60 Day Goals:
*Complete INSANITY- they say what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger lol
*Reach my goal Fitness Level (Beach wedding in 2 months!!)
*Reach 1 Star Diamond so I can go to the Beachbody Leadership Conference
*Help 8 people with their goals fitness/financial
*Refine my organization skills by learning how to utilize the computer better. I just love my little planner. Paper & Pen just makes me feel better lol
