Team Weight No More's Week 3 Group Challenge Today Matters




A Four minute Four Circle goal setting tool
Adapted from Steve Chandler's book "100 ways to motivate yourself"

The Four Circle Method is a game changer if you suffer with the thought "I have so much weight to lose and it will TAKE FOREVER."

This is a great tool that helps you plan what you will do today to get you to that far away goal. You see, most of us are just disconnected from the smaller version of ourselves. We can't believe that the little things we do today MATTER. We think things like, "This bite won't hurt" or "I’m done… weighing 150lbs will take forever so give me a cookie."

The Four Circles basically trains your brain to believe how important today's tiny steps are. Yep...drinking the water matters versus our usual thought of drinking the water isn't enough.

Instruction: Start by drawing four circles on a piece of paper (see example below). The circles represent one year, one month, one week, and today. Inside each circle write down what you want. It can be anything. Start with the one year circle first.

The top left circle is the one year goal.
The top right breaks that goal down into a smaller piece, a monthly goal.
The bottom left is an even smaller piece, a weekly goal.
The bottom right is EVERYTHING you are going to do today that will help you reach your goal.

Without looking at our goals on a daily basis, we tend to lose sight of them and get caught up in reacting to people and circumstances, forgetting about our one year goal. If you hit your daily goal every day, your weekly goal is automatically hit. If your weekly goal every week is reached, the monthly goal has to happen If you hit your monthly goal every month, your yearly goal will be achieved.

Ultimately, success is dependent upon just one of the circles: the circle labeled "today". When you realize the irrefutable mathematical truth contained in this system, you have just proved on paper that your day and your life are the same thing. There is no future other than the future you are working on today. Your future is not stranded out there somewhere in space.

Now tell your team and share your goals. Every day matters. What will you do today?

I've been struggling a bit to stay motivated and focused. I'm keeping to the diet about 95%, but not eating as many vegetables as I should, have wobbled on the exercise - mostly stress from stuff going on in my home life is a bit like having the carpet pulled out and I find myself going around in circles.

@boehle I accidentally missed out on the buddies thread. Will this be reopened next month?

I’m sorry I’m not very active in the group. I do read what you post and you all inspire me. I just have so much going on with work, getting certified as a health coach and planning for my son’s high school graduation, I feel like I’m meeting myself coming and going! Lol! I work out with my trainer 3x/week and TRY to get 10k/day (Which doesn’t always happen.) I prepped meals last night for the next 8 days. That felt like a real win! I hope you all have a Marvelous Monday!
