Now it’s time for step 8 of my “Get Your Shit Together” system - and yes we skipped over step 7 for now.  We’re going to dive into how to measure what matters.  Go back to your worksheet from Episode 2 and look at these 3 areas:

• Have you created long-term and short-term goals for your health?
• Do you also have smaller milestones you can actually meet?
• Are you being a scientist and not a judge?

My husband will confirm that I have the longest to-do list.  I always overestimate what I can get done in a day, but I always start with an intention.   When you set your goals, you are setting an intention.

Bodies don’t always react the way we want them to and there are some circumstances beyond our control, but it’s important to keep track of the actions that are within your control.  Set yourself up for easy wins.  You deserve the dopamine hit, even if it’s something that seems insignificant. 

You know you best.  If it’s more motivating to set a practically impossible goal, do it.  If you do better with tiny goals you can trip over, do that.  Just make sure they have a set timeline and check in with yourself at each milestone.  Reset, reassess, and move forward. 

This is not the time to drag yourself through the mud. Now is the time to employ the scientific method rather than judging yourself.  A reminder about the scientific method:

1. What’s the question? What are you observing? 
2. Do a little background research. What’s your hypothesis if you try something new?  Keep it clear and give it enough time to work.
3. Test your hypothesis by doing an experiment. Test whether your prediction is accurate. Keep the changes tightly controlled so there are as few variables as possible.
4. Analyze your data and draw a conclusion.  What seems to be working or not? Decide if you’ll continue on that path or if there’s something deeper to be done, like testing.
