Why You Need Short-Term and Long-Term Goals Alike 💯
In business, education, or healthy living, we all need goals. Two kinds of goals, specifically: short-term and long-term.
And the way they work together is a powerful example of synergy – two things working together seamlessly to achieve a greater good.
Let’s start with a hypothetical desire to illustrate the point. Say you’re feeling the travel itch, but you’re not sure where to go. (This works for dieting, exercise… anything, really.)
So, you look at some travel sites and decide on a European vacation. Price tag? $5,000. You do the math and decide you can save $250 a month. At that rate, it will take you about a year and a half to reach your goal. But to save $250 each month, you’ll need to cut some expenses – Netflix, wine club – and work Saturdays at your family store.
Within that simple process of figuring out what you want (a nice trip abroad) and how to get it (budgeting, saving), you’ve made a long-term goal (save $5,000) and several short-term goals (like saving $250 a month, cutting costs, and earning extra money) to help you reach it.
You were also extra clever because you established a way to check your progress as time goes by, which will let you make adjustments along the way, take advantage of opportunities, and prepare for setbacks.
It can seem daunting to set a long-term goal — “I’ll never save $5,000!” But it feels more manageable to take it a piece at a time — “I can put away $250 each month” – and before you know it, you’re on your way.
And the best part? You’ll get where you really want to go! You can apply this principle to ANY area of your life – especially your health and fitness!

Be Intentional in Living the Life You Want
Most people spend a lifetime clear on what they DON’T want for themselves.
That creates a constant state of yearning for more. But it’s confusing for our brains because we often don’t get clear enough to tell our brain what we actually desire.
This creates a low likelihood of ever getting what we actually want – it’s because we aren’t being completely intentional. A lot of people go years and years LIVING like that. Just doing it for no certain reason. Or for all reasons. Or for any reasons.
But if you want to get somewhere – if you want to create the thing that you want – then you must be intentional.
➡️ 𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑎𝑚 𝐼 𝑑𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠?
➡️ 𝑊ℎ𝑜’𝑠 𝑖𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑟?
➡️ 𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑢𝑙𝑡 𝑑𝑜 𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 – 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛?
It’s how you begin to establish a life of meaning. A life that means what you want it to mean. That should include a healthy lifestyle, a proper weight, a good relationship with food, etc. A life of meaning must include other priorities, too.
But priorities are, by definition, not haphazard. And healthy habits don’t just form on their own.
Choose to live the life you envision for yourself. Then … CREATE IT!

Please Don’t Get This Wrong If You Are Trying TO Get And Keep Your Body Balanced
You Are Your Own Worst Critic, So Find a Balance 😤
If you’ve ever critiqued anyone’s performance, then you know how important it is to provide balanced, helpful feedback.
You can’t just berate a kid, for instance, about all the ways they messed up.🤬
And you can’t merely praise a subordinate all day without providing challenges for improvement.😵💫
So, if you know that, then why can’t you be so lovingly balanced in the way you talk to yourself … ABOUT yourself?
It’s so much easier to pile on, isn’t it?
“I can’t believe I’m so stupid.”
“Why am I always the last one to figure things out?”
“I should have known I could never get back in shape.” Sound familiar?
You are not a victim. Read it again until it sinks in. 💯
Here’s a super-simple tactic to knock it off. Talk to yourself ABOUT yourself the way you would talk to someone else you care about — let’s say, your best friend.
I bet you would NEVER say to your best friend, “You’re so stupid. You should have known you could never get back in shape.” Would you? Nope. You might say something more loving and helpful, like this: “I’ve seen how hard you’ve been working, and you’re doing great. Getting in shape takes time, and I know you can get back on track despite this little setback. Come on! Let’s go for a walk and you’ll feel better in no time.”
Acknowledge the disappointment. Learn from it. Move on. Like everything in life, feedback is all about finding the right balance. You’ve done it before. You can do it now with yourself.
Does this resonate with you?
