Ever feel like your goals are just… "ghosting" you?

You start out strong—motivated, inspired, ready to tackle the world.

"I’m gonna lose 20 pounds!"
"I’ll be less stressed this year!"
"I’ll run my first 5K with my daughter!"

Then life happens.

Work explodes...

Your aging parents suddenly need you nearly 24/7...

You can't make it to the gym...

And just like that, your goals are on the back burner yet again.

But here’s the kicker: it’s not you—it’s the way you’re setting goals.

Outcome-based goals (like losing 30 pounds) sound good… but they’re slippery because you can’t always control the outcome.

What you CAN control? 

Your behaviors.

Examples:

Want to lower your blood pressure? 

Reduce sodium intake

Want better sleep?

Eliminate caffeine within 6-8 hours of bedtime

Want to get better at something?

Schedule a weekly practice session to work on it (this reminds me - I need to do this for my drumming!)

It’s about shifting from what you want to happen to what you’re doing.

So here’s your quick action plan for today:

Step 1: Write down the outcome you want. (Example: Play drums for a local band)

Step 2: Identify a skill you need to get there. (Example: Listening to a band and learn how to play cohesively with them)

Step 3: Choose a small behavior you can do today to build that skill. (Example: Play 15 minutes a day, along with your favorite rock songs)

Do it. 

Repeat tomorrow. 

And the next day. (No drama if you miss a day—progress isn’t a straight line.) It's progress over perfection!

Don’t just take my word for it—here’s what others have experienced when we focus on behaviour change VS traditional meal plans and workouts:

And if you’re tired of setting goals that go MIA… let’s fix that.

My coaching isn’t about wishful thinking. It’s about real actions, real progress, and having a solid plan—even when life throws curveballs.
