Setting Realistic Goals

Goals for your health during winter and if so what are they and how do you go about reaching them? Yeah, so I think goals for me shift a little bit during winter. I think it becomes more survival sounds really bleak but I think I'd set really like quite, I'd set much bigger more like intense goals I think during summer when I feel a bit more energetic, motivated, I'm up and out all the time, I feel like I've got more hours of the day. I think if you try to set those same sorts of goals in winter I think personally I'd be setting myself up for failure because you know I finish work at five o'clock and I'm knackered, I don't know what it is, during winter I'm thinking mid-January you finish work and you shut your laptop at five o'clock and I just can't be bothered to do anything which is really tricky as well because then you sort of feel really guilty and you kind of beat yourself up about that a little bit so that can be a bit of a vicious cycle. So I think goals become a bit more gentle and I think they become more about reading books and being careful about what I consume online because obviously that all plays a massive factor into our health and how we view ourselves and that is becoming a huge part you know we we almost create the kind of we create our own algorithms of what we see online so I So I think it's being really mindful of the content that we're consuming. That's been on my mind quite a lot at the moment and kind of how many hours of the day that I'm on my phone. So I think my goals around health become a bit more holistic than maybe they do over summer. And I think it's more about smaller achievable goals and changing my behavior in that way. So almost expecting a little bit less of myself, but that really boosts my own morale. it's not about achieving a lot less and feeling guilty, it's actually okay well over summer maybe I would do a strength-based class three times a week but I just I'm not going to achieve that in winter I don't think and then I would just feel really guilty. So I think goals become a bit more about myself as a person and you know kind of what I'm reading, what I'm consuming online, kind of eating nourishing foods and enjoying cooking as well. I think I enjoy cooking a lot lot more during winter. And, you know, smaller goals like going for walks and being a bit more mindful of kind of what is achievable for me at that time. So I think it's more goals looking
