How do I set health goals that are right for me and not generic?
Have you discovered the Genesis Health + Fitness nutrition support and meal plan platform yet?
The team at Thr1ve are excited to be our key nutrition partner to support your health journey, helping you achieve results more quickly and easily.
So, without further ado, let's set some goals!
Everybody is biologically different, lead different lifestyles, has different activity levels and importantly, is at different stages of their health journey. When creating achievable goals, it is essential you take into consideration all these factors.
Typically, it's good to set two types of goals for yourself. Firstly, consider what your end goal looks like and set an ambitious target that can motivate you throughout your journey.
In addition to this goal, set yourself smaller, staged goals that are usually achievable in 2 -3 months and provide attainable stepping stones to your overarching goal.
We find results are the most motivating experience. As such, reaching small, achievable goals can be one of the most motivating factors on your health journey as you can see the progress and regular improvements.
Assess your activity level, diet, eating habits and general health
The first step in setting your goal is assessing your starting position both in terms of activity level, preferred activities, diet, eating habits, health conditions, sleep levels, stress levels and any other health-related factors.
It's good to write these down as it makes it clear as to the areas you need the most improvement or will have the biggest impact on your life. Once you have done this then put a staged goal and more ambitious goal against each of these areas. It's then good to prioritise what is most important to you and arrange these goals accordingly.
Measure and track your progress
Once these goals have been set, it is great to measure them weekly and track your progress. The data available through wearable devices (such as our Myzone HR tech, an Apple Watch or Fitbit) or measurements (either Evolt Bodyscans or just tape measure) can be very helpful in terms of tracking your progress and helping you make adjustments to your diet or activities based on the results you see.
Additionally, it is extremely important to check in with yourself and see how you are feeling.
For example:
- Do I feel happy?
- Am I more energized?
- Do I feel less stressed?
Reach out for expert help if you need it
If you are having trouble achieving a specific goal despite trying your best, then it is always good to get a second opinion from an expert which may be a dietician, personal trainer or health care professional.
A quick tip that the team at Thr1ve have found helpful is to practice keeping your goals displayed in an obvious place that you will always see daily (especially in the morning).
Remember, the key to achieving goals is to set them, monitor them and keep your routine to achieve them.
Good luck!
