How to get what you want *****

Hi SparkPeople Members

I'm back this week with a topic that can truly change the course of your life: Goal-Setting!

Here is what one member says about the goal-setting process she learned at SparkPeople to help her lose 175 pounds and maintain that loss for 7 years:

I so agree with you that they need to teach goal setting in elementary school! Until I came to sparkpeople I never heard of setting a goal or even to go about it. Fortunately for me I had joined a team and one of the leaders held a class that involved Coach Dean Anderson's "Mind Over Body series". One of the exercises she gave us was to write our goals. There were a number of us that said how do we do that? So there was a new lesson for us. I always say if it hadn't been for that team I might never have had the success I have had.

Learning how to set and reach small goals consistently that aligned with my larger goals and core values definitely changed my life. I then combined that with fitness, nutrition, sleep, and other areas of life to eventually create SparkPeople.

Now it's my passion in life to help other people do the same and see all the goals we can reach together! Just click here to learn the simple process you can use to reach your goals.

In case you missed last week's email, here is the lesson from last week about how to make setbacks positive.

Also, I have now published 8 lessons and activities for the Small Goals Commitment Challenge with more on the way. You can see all of them on this page.

Finally, we've now had over 18,000 presses of the SparkButton. This is a fun way to commit to reaching your small goals. Hopefully the more content I put together for this challenge, the more everyone will realize just how meaningful it can be to make this type of small commitment in a simple and fun way by pressing the button. You don't need to be logged in to click the button, just visit this link and scroll down to the bottom of the page and join the fun -- help us reach our next goal of 20,000 presses!

SparkCheers!
