I talk to people everyday about goal setting and how to get over training plateaus. Having specific, realistic and measurable goals is super important and being motivated to achieving them is even more important. But the most important thing is the support you get from your closest friends and family. They are a huge part of the driving force behind someones courage to pursue a specific goal. Often people are discouraged from a specific goal because they keep hearing negative comments from the people who are meant to be on their side and push them when they are having a hard time.
If you keep saying the same negative things to your friend disguised as “jokes” or if you keep buying take aways when your partner is trying to lose weight or you keep complaining about the price of your partners gym membership. Stop and think about your own goals. Do you have any? Can you think of one? Most people who react negative towards a close friends goal is often because they don’t have a goal themselves. Find something you are passionate about and go for it.
Try throwing a positive comment at a friend next time and have a think about your own goals. How can you start to put a plan in place to reach them. Try talking to your friend who already has a goal. You will find they will have heaps to say about it.
