• Because you're incredible - celebrating who we are as unique individuals
• Acknowledging that it is okay to love who we are and what we went through to get where we are while still wanting to be more and accomplish more
• It is a balancing act
• Book: "Mind Gym" - Gary Mack
• 3 steps to work toward behavior change (ACT)
○ A - Accept Present State
○ C - Create Desired State
○ T - Take action steps
• Accept present state and acknowledge and appreciate everything you went through to even get where you are today
• Create desired state and don't be afraid to dream big
○ Pick SMART goals: Specific, Measureable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely (this should be a bit more flexible as there are some things that may be out of your control or a few more steps than anticipated)
• Take action steps
○ What is the first (not the last) step to get to that goal?
○ Are there smaller goals you can achieve first to head in the right direction?
○ What is one thing you can do today to get started?
• This month we are going to pick actions and behaviors on a daily basis that we can take action steps toward to make sure we are working toward our goals. Now by no means am I asking you to set a different goal every day, just check in with your actions and make sure you're heading the right direction to get where you want to go. Think about how you can be 1% better today.
An awesome supplemental resource from Mark Reiter and Marshall Goldsmith the authors of "Triggers: Creating Behavior That Lasts--Becoming the Person You Want to Be" and "What Got You Here Won't Get You There" :
