ACTION setting for 2021

I talk about goals a LOT. Race goals, training goals, fueling goals. It is the time of year when people make goals, and while I encourage ALL THE GOALS, I want to encourage ACTION in tandem. I challenge you to setting ACTION for 2021. If goals are a way of looking forward to what you want, an action is what you are doing right now. Your actions say a lot about you. 

Example-
Goal: Run more consistently in 2021. 
Action: Make plans to meet a running partner for aerobic long runs every Saturday. 

Example-
Goal: Fuel better on runs.
Action: Purchase 3 different types of fuels to test on runs. 

Setting the goal is easy, but empty. Unless there is action, there is no movement towards your goal. 

This year my goal is to spend at least 40 days sleeping outside and to not let every day be like every other day (skipping holidays or letting days off get filled with work). My action is spending New Years Eve camped out, somewhere with no cell service. Goal set. Action planned. Obviously, one night outside will not get me to my overall goal but I can live AND ENJOY this one day independently of reaching my goal or not. 

Want help setting an action plan  for next year? Get in touch and I would love to hear from you.
