Step 10: Reflect on your week

At the end of each week…

Reflect on your goal

Ask:

• How challenging was your goal?
• Was your goal challenging enough?
• Was your goal over-ambitious?

Reflect on your actions

Ask:

• What went well this week?
• What are you proud of?
• What was the biggest challenge/obstacle you faced?
• How did you handle that challenge?
• What would you do differently if you had the chance?
• What can you do differently next week?

Always focus on the positives first and give yourself credit for what you did well. It’s too easy to get caught up in the negatives.

“Don’t dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.” ~Denis Waitley

Set your next goal

Set your SMART goal for next week and repeat steps 5-10.

You may set the same goal, modify your goal, or add another goal. You know what will work for you.

Track your progress

Review your baseline data every 6 weeks. Track your progress to see if you are moving from the now or old you toward the new you.

“If what you are doing is not moving you towards your goals, then it’s moving you away from your goals.” ~Brian Tracy
