GOAL SETTING

Welcome to Thrive!

What is THRIVE?

I have ran goals & mindset workshops for 12+ years, it's another strong passion of mine.

And as with most things in life, you can use all the science & theory you want, but the real key is knowing what ‘works’ in real life. 

That’s why I’ve created THRIVE. 

If you commit to this, the mission is simple: to help you THRIVE in life.

How?

Because...

Having a clear ‘focus’ can help you reach the targets you set for yourself X10 faster than having nothing set. Plus, these ‘targets’ are always in line with the person you want to become.

However, the key is in the plan of action to get there and the habits you need to set your life up around in order to achieve those goals.

And that’s what our THRIVE 90-Day goal setting system is all about. 

So, let’s dive in 🎯

90-Day Goal Setting System


PART 1: MOMENTUM BUILDERS


The first step is to write down your biggest wins & struggles from the past 90-days to help you build Momentum for completing the rest of this page 💪

Remember, you can't have wins without struggles - it's part of the game. No win is too small either, so please ensure to write down your wins below.

We recommend breaking these up into the 3 'P's' too; Physical, Personal & Professional areas in your life. But if you only want to write down a win in one areas for now, that's cool too!

STRUGGLES & SOLUTIONS

PART 2: 90-DAY GOALS

The next step is getting clear on the outcomes you want to achieve over the next 90-days. If you already have goals for this year, the 90-day goals act like a 'chunk' of those annual goals because the 90-day goal should move you closer to your overall goal.

So, what is it that you really want to achieve in the areas of physical, professional & personal goals?

Below it walks you through how to set goals in each area with examples. However, if you only feel like setting physical goals right now, that's ok too!

Your Goal Filter:

The last point when it comes to goal setting is to filter it through our goals filter to make sure you're on the right track. Ensure your goals you've set 'tick the box' for each segment of the graphic below:

- SPECIFIC: Is the goal specific & measurable so you can ensure progress towards it

- MEANINGFUL: Is the goal TRULY meaningful to you? It should be. The 'why' behind each goal you set helps massively here

- ACTION: What are the action steps/commitments you need to do in order to hit your goal?

- REWARD: Something we are terrible for as humans is rewarding ourselves! So, what will you do to celebrate your goals at the end of the 90-days? This could be something simple like a date night, a night away or something you reward yourself with!

- TIME: Is there deadlines to certain goals? Is there realistic time frames attached to them? Do certain action steps need to be done by certain dates? Example: If you were booking a family holiday for a personal goal, you might need to have it booked by 'X' date.

A: PHYSICAL 90-DAY GOAL


STEP 1: WRITE DOWN YOUR PHYSICAL 90-DAY GOAL

Physical goals are usually two fold; body composition [fat loss etc.] and fitness [challenging your body, taking part in fitness events etc.] so factor this in when setting your physical goal.


Maybe you’re planning on getting in best shape of your life for your wedding OR just because you want to!

Maybe you have a summer holiday coming up and you want to feel lean and confident in your swimwear on the beach.

You might have joined a running club or signed up for a Fitness event and want to get fit and strong.

Or maybe you need to lose a body fat for health reasons or just to feel more confident.

Take a few minutes to think about your physical goal(s) and write down your big goal.

Make sure you think bigger than “lose some weight & tone up”. This should be a goal that will have a big positive impact on your life if you achieve it, be specific!

Example: I want to lose 5-6kg of body fat and tone up so I can look and feel good in my skin for my holiday this summer.

I want to take part in the next Doc Fitness Games so I want to be fitter for that by increasing my cardio fitness.

STEP 2: YOUR 'WHY'


Now we know what your goal(s) are the next step goes a little deeper - why do you want to achieve this goal and why is it important to you?

Darren Hardy, author of 'The Compound Effect' explains the importance of this pretty well;

"Forget about willpower. It’s time for why-power. Your choices are only meaningful when you connect them to your desires and dreams.

You’ve got to want something, and know why you want it, or you’ll end up giving up too easily.”


Understanding your why makes it easier to stay on track when motivation is lacking (which will inevitably happen at times).

Take a few minutes to think about and write down why you want to achieve your goal.

Explain how achieving this goal will make you feel and what positive impact it will have on your life.

Example: This is the trip of a lifetime so I want to make the most of it and create some awesome memories. Feeling confident in my own skin instead of feeling self-conscious will help with this massively, I've always been the one wearing a shirt around the pool and I don't want that to be me anymore.

STEP 3: YOUR COMMITMENT TO YOURSELF

You have built out the big picture but now it's time to scale it back to some actionable steps/habits you can implement over the coming weeks to hit your goals.

This is an important step because:

”Success is earned in the moment to moment decisions that in themselves make no visible difference whatsoever, but the accumulated compounding effect is profound.”

In other words - doing the little, unglamorous things consistently overtime is vital to your success.

There's no magic pill, nothing that you can do in isolation on a single day that will make a visible difference but if you get the basics right consistently week after week your results will be dramatic.

Take a few minutes to write out your action steps that you will commit to over the coming 90-days.

Here's a clue, for most people, these steps should include some of the fundamentals we do here at Doc Fitness.

- Train x2-3 per week

- Make smart food choices, track your calorie and protein intake,

- Get good quality sleep

- Increase your daily step count and so on.

Example: Over the next 90 days I will train at Doc Fitness 2-3 times per week, make a plan with my coach to set up fat loss targets and track those and make sure I get at least 7-8 hours sleep every night.

B: PROFESSIONAL 90-DAY GOAL


STEP 1: WRITE DOWN YOUR PROFESSIONAL 90-DAY GOAL


Professional goals relate to your education, career, impact, fulfilment or finances. What do you want to achieve/improve over the next 90-days in your professional life?

Example: We rarely give examples here because this is so unique for everyone - but let's use an example of a coach at Doc Fitness wanting to upskill in Nutrition over the coming year:

Complete the first 3 modules of my year long advanced certification in nutrition coaching. [This example breaks down the year course into what's realistic in the next 90-days]

STEP 3: YOUR COMMITMENT TO YOURSELF

Following the same structure you did earlier - what action steps need to get done in order to work towards this professional goal(s) you have set?

Take a few minutes to write out your action steps that you will commit to over the coming weeks.

Example: I will set aside three 30-60minute study blocks per week for my course on Tue/Thurs/Saturdays at X time.

C: PERSONAL 90-DAY GOAL


STEP 1: WRITE DOWN YOUR PERSONAL 90-DAY GOAL


Personal goals relate to your overall wellbeing, self-development, relationships, your environment or what you do for fun in your life. So, what do you want to achieve/improve over the next 90-days in your personal life?

Example: This is also highly individual but let's say you want to look after your 'self-care' more because it's something you don't really do! AKA: Make more time for you!

Maybe that involves rekindling on old friendship you haven't spoke to in a long time, but you know they add value to your life.

Maybe it's taking time to do more 'fun' stuff in your life because as we grow older - we forget about that! [Top Tip: Lego sets for adults are great craic 😂]

Maybe it's committing to more 'wellbeing' work like reading a personal development book, commiting to some yoga classes or trying out some sea swimming or easy app-guided meditation.

Example: I'm going to reach out to my friends I keep saying we'll make time for but never do. I will meet them at least twice per month for the next 3 months and make a habit of that moving forward.

STEP 3: YOUR COMMITMENT TO YOURSELF

Following the same structure you did earlier - what action steps need to get done in order to work towards this personal goal(s) you have set?

Take a few minutes to write out your action steps that you will commit to over the coming weeks.

Example: I will contact X friends to see when they are available and schedule it in my calendar for a coffee meet up to start with. At the end of the month, I will organise a group hike to get outdoors and if they cannot make it, I'll still get one solo one done for my own wellbeing. The plan is to meet with friends at least twice per month over the coming 90-days but I have to commit to organising this for it to happen.
