HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
~ Goals ~
A goal is no more than a dream with a deadline.
If you did the dreams list last week the next phase is to decide what is realistic and motivating for you from that list. If you didn’t do it, take some time to write out a list of things you would do, be or have if anything where possible.
Organize your dreams into the most realistic in a few different categories. For example, family & relationships, health & fitness, business & career, finance and self-development. Once you’ve done that put a number next to the goal, 1-3-5-10+. The number represents how many years it may take to achieve the goal.
It’s important to have long and short term goals. The time for long and short term goals is different for everyone. Some people can visualize how they want their life in ten years, to some one year may be a long time. Your vision grows as you do these drills more and more.
It’s good to have check points along the way. This will help you adjust your direction as you move towards the goal. Are you on track or do you need to change direction. Depending on the goal and your actions to get there, these check points may be measured monthly, weekly, daily or even hourly in some cases.
Your challenge this week is to decide on a goal that you can attain by March 31st, 2016. Write it out somewhere that you can see it. Put it in the 1st person positive tense. For example “I weigh 170lbs with single digit body fat by March 25th 2016”. This happens to be one of mine, now make one of your own.
I have always been interested in the martial arts, but never had the opportunity to pursue any formal training. Shortly after my son began taking classes I decided to join in the fun! This was almost three years ago and training has me in the best shape of my life. It has been very beneficial for my overall well being and a great activity to spend time with my son. Sensei Groesbeck and staff are top notch instructors and provide a positive and fun environment in which to learn and train.
My daughter Jaelyn has been training in martial arts close to five years. She is in great shape, more disciplined and respectful due to the Manlius dojo and staff. Great job on the new website.
My 12 year old daughter and 11 year old son are 1st degree black belts training for their 2nd Degrees. I am 43 years old, in the best shape of my life and ready to test for my 1st degree Black Belt. Impact Martial Arts has changed the life of my children and I for the better in a dramatic way! Modesty, Courtesy, Integrity, Self Control, Perseverance and Indomitable Spirit! These are the creeds instilled in the students who study at the Team Manlius dojo of Impact Martial Arts. The entire teaching staff at the Team Manlius dojo: Sensei Groesbeck, Sensei Button, Deshi Mehmedovic and Mr. McDonald are all AWESOME!! They are all very engaging, professional and inspiring. Not only do they teach marital arts and physical fitness but the curriculum also contains character education and anti-bullying strategies. The environment at the dojo is always positive, fun and inspiriting. Believe me it is a place you will want to be and your kids to be!!!
