Thursday, August 1

So...how did those July goals turn out? Are you ready to tackle something new in August? If you find yourself saying "I'll keep the same goal" month after month, we need to revisit the actual goal of...well...goal setting. This applies to every single one of you: from our new CFH family members to our high-caliber athletes. Each of you likely have different goals and different time frames to reach those goals, but we ALL need to define our personal goals and track our progress (journals...hint...hint) to achieve any type of success. Why are you here? What do you want to accomplish and when? What motivates you?

• If you write your ONE-MONTH goal on the whiteboard by the water fountain, it should be something YOU can completely control and ACHIEVE within the month. (examples: practice HSPUs after class at least twice a week; hit 50 DUs in a row [because you're already at 40]; drink at least a gallon of water every day; string 3 MUs together; etc).
• If your goal is going to take a few months, it belongs on the "short-term" goal board by the orange wall. This goal needs to be something you have to work hard to achieve, but you're on the right track and you can do it within about 6 months. (examples: run the Warrior Dash in October; decrease your 5K time by X minutes; move to a different pull-up band; jump on a higher box; get a bar muscle-up; etc).
• You also need to have long-term goals, and those belong on the whiteboard right next to the short-term goals...and should ideally tie together.  In fact, it makes the most sense to set your long-term goal first, then determine your short-term and monthly goals as you define the steps it will take to reach that big goal that's about a year or so away. (examples: a CrossFit competition; a marathon or 1/2 marathon; a muscle-up; pistols; lifting a certain weight; finally being able to do something [in or out of the gym] that you never thought you could)
