We are officially one month into 2009. What have you accomplished over the past month? Did you take the steps to accomplish your 2009 resolutions? Are you creating the right structure to support your strategy, and not the right strategy to support your structure? If your goal is to stop watching TV and you have a TV in every room, how can you not watch TV? However if you take the TVs out of the rooms or change the room to limit the ease of watching TV you are creating the right structure to support your new strategy?
This simple principle is something you can apply to any goal or New Year's resolution. As a long time gym member I know the first 3-4 weeks of the New Year will always double or triple the members in the gym, however come February 1st 90% of those new gym members will be history. They strike while the iron is hot, yet their plan is short sighted as they have jumped into the gym head first working out 4-5 days a week, weighing themselves daily...waiting, watching to see how many pounds they have lost from the day before. They join the new "Biggest Loser" challenge at work, and start sprinting to the finish line, not realizing it is a marathon, it is a lifestyle change. The strategy is weight loss, the structure is sore muscles, little to no change in weight, and worst frustration that their efforts are not rewarded as those on TV. Over the next coming weeks I will discuss creating the structure to support your strategy.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jonathan Smith, DC
