More Still on Diabetics and Goal Setting, Part 3
Yesterday I posed a question about the 8 goals that Mr. Joe Diabetic wanted to accomplish during the year. The question was which goals are the true goals that will cause a cascade of benefits that incorporate some of the other goals. I gave you a hint … there were two of them.
Did you have time to think about it?
The answer is that the two goals are to lose 40 pounds and to boost immune function.
All the other goals will receive a cascade of benefits thrown in their direction once these two goals are accomplished.
When you lose 40 pounds, the new weight resets your blood sugar and your blood pressure. The lowered blood sugar will then create less peripheral neuropathy and the cataracts may get better on their own because there is less sugar from the blood depositing itself on the lens of the eyes.
If you boost immune function, then any present infections you have will be taken care of automatically.
Do you see why it is so important to write down as many goals as you can possibly think of? One goal benefits many.
But it doesn’t stop there. Next in goal setting comes the monthly and weekly goals.
For this part, it’s important simply to consider all the steps that are needed to complete the process of attaining that goal. To lose weight may mean adding an extra 30 minutes of exercise 4 days a week to your schedule. Schedule it. To lose weight may mean eating more vegetables and going to the farmer’s market to save the most money buying them. Schedule it. To lose weight may mean purchasing a proven plan that works via a weight loss clinic or natural health practitioner visit. Schedule it. These steps will lead you the next steps to take.
