As fall heads toward winter this month, you might find yourself wanting to change your goals with the seasons.

It’s only natural. The days grow shorter. The air has more of a chill. It might even snow where you live. But don’t let the change of seasons change your goals.

That’s a slippery slope at any time of year, regardless of the temperature. Your goals are based on year-round values and desires, not ideas that rise and fall with the thermometer.

Now, this doesn’t mean we can’t change our TACTICS to reach goals.

By that, I mean we can transition to a more corrective or recovery-type program. Or strengthen those areas of the body that were ignored during the spring and summer time.

But the REASONS for adopting the tactics and strategies you’ve chosen? Well, those remain the same. And so should your intentions.

Remember, we reach our healthy living goals not quickly but over time – by making consistent, steady efforts. We’re talking about HOW WE CHOOSE TO LIVE, not just what we will do right now.

Take comfort and inspiration from the changing seasons. They’re powerful, natural, consistent, and lead every year to the next step. So, welcome the winter – and keep your eyes on the prize.

Do you have a plan to keep moving toward your goals as it gets colder?
