I meet with new clients weekly to discuss how our programs can help them achieve their goals. Once we clearly establish their goals, we then look at how they can go ahead to achieve them. I often take a two-tiered approach. One is to create lasting change. Change is hard enough, that when we put the effort in, we want it to last. The second is to create results fast enough that clients stay motivated to keep going.
Lasting change comes from working on one thing at a time until it feels easy. Perhaps it’s drinking more water (ie: drink water instead of pop). Or, perhaps it’s creating more active movement into your day. For change to be lasting, taking it one step at a time will create more success for you.
The second part is creating a program that will get you results in a timely manner so you feel motivated enough to stick with it. The important thing here, is that you have a clear direction and support behind you. Before commencing on a new program or lifestyle change, make sure the timing is right for you to fit in something extra or change your routine. For example, starting a weightloss program on holidays or during a social time, for example, will create added challenges for success. Plan for it, communicate it, and create the space for this new plan or endeavour.
