Goals
Goals are challenging. I type as I stuff an orange slice in my mouth and look at the water bottle that’s in place of my tea with detest. I am dreaming of chocolate and chips. I’ve never been great at doing things the same way the bulk of society does. I can’t even stick with working out like it’s not fun… I find it, frankly, boring. So, I’ve created my brand of dance exercise.
Sometimes the goal isn’t even the reason you quit. Sometimes, it’s impatience…
You don’t see results fast enough, and you wonder why you’re even doing this, to begin with.
I’ve been contemplating a lot lately on how my life looks now and how I want it to look. To be fitter, healthier, manage my time better, be more organized, this and that.

Do you know what I realized? Goals are f**king draining, like it’s mentally exhausting being like, yeah, you’re doing all this wrong. Fix it. And still have the motivation to fix it!
Conclusion f**k it, YOLO! No, I’m just kidding! If we want to create goals and make significant changes in our lives, it should be done in small steps. I know I won’t get anywhere but giving up if I overload myself. Which is something I’m very talented at(overloading)! But I can’t just sit back and say forget it either, because there will be that nagging in the back of my head saying, “you’re not doing what you should be.” and I very much want to make these changes to my life.
So, start that goal, but only what you can handle, 15 goals? Start with 1 or 2 at a time, and don’t let that little voice tell you, “Oh, girl, you got this look how easy it’s been, take on more!” because that b**tch doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Wait till you have achieved your first two goals to some degree, make it past the first couple of weeks and then the first month before you decide to start more, because, from experience, it can be going well, because you didn’t overload yourself, and the minute you start to, all your progress will halt!
Give yourself time to adjust to new, new routines, diets, tactics, work outs. Give yourself time to accomplish one goal before you set out on another.
Give yourself time.
Just this lady's advice!
Thank you so much if you made it this far! I hope you’re having a fantastic day! Follow for more!
