Do you use Google maps? Type in an address and presto it leads to your destination.

GOALS are life’s GPS (Global Positioning System). They get us to our destination.

If you run into a detour or take a wrong turn, it will redirect you. RECALCULATING…

We all hit detours, but like driving, you don’t turn around and go home. You keep heading towards your destination, reroute and adjust your arrival time.

It is time to recalculate.

Where were you going this year? What dreams or goals did you write down when 2020 began? Dust off those dreams and start walking toward those goals.

Here are a few strategies to get you going-

1-It is never too late to START.  Don’t believe the lie that the boat has sailed. Boats anchor into port every day. If you are still breathing then you still have work to do.

2- REGROUP. Review your goals. What still is stirring in your heart? Make adjustments as necessary. If you can’t find your goals- no problem. Make new ones.  Write out your goals for the next three months, two months or one month.

3-Be PRACTICAL. If you need to start over that is okay. After you have written out your goals create action steps. Action steps guides you toward your destination. You only need one step at a time.

4-BABY STEPS are still forward motion. You have probably heard, “a body in motion stays in motion, a body at rest stays at rest.” Get moving. Choose one thing. One action step that you could do today.

5-ACCOUNTABLITY. Share your goals with a trusted friend. Ask them to keep you accountable. Get a life coach. Find someone or something that will keep you on task and encourage you toward change.

6-RECALCULATE– Create a new routine. Do ONE thing different. Tomorrow morning when you wake up upgrade your morning routine. Get up 15 minutes earlier. If you don’t make your bed then make your bed. If you don’t exercise then do one push up, sit up or plank. Listen to a podcast while you get ready. Add ONE thing to you’re a.m. rituals that will get your mind engaged.

Getting back on track is a GOOD THING. If you are still reading this, then I believe you are serious about change. Celebrate that you are moving toward your dreams.

The world still needs what you have offer. We need you.

“We need everything you have to offer. And we need it in the way that only you can provide it.” – Cara Alwill Leyba

Recalculating is a second change to go toward your dreams and goals. Don’t see it as a dead end but a detour.

Get intentional. Get moving! Keep dreaming!
