Finish It Monday: Don’t Take a Sh!t On Your Goals

So you know how last week I didn’t offer you any bonus stars? What a party pooper I was, huh? Welp, the goal of me party-pooping was for you to become more aware of your own motivation in the absence of outside motivation (aka, earning stars). But you know what?

I promise not to party-poop this week.

…and please, definitely don’t party-poop on yourself (aka, take a sh!t on your goals) by not following through with finishing what you started. The only thing goal-sh!tting does is flush your progress, and any hope for achieving the end result, down the toilet. Just like this:

Don’t do this to your goals.

Salad-chewing and push-ups stars are back! You earn one for each activity. So yeah, get on that. But wait! There’s a really important 3rd bonus star for this week that I want to force encourage you to take part in: the Wild Card Bonus Star. This is how it works:

Wild Card Bonus Star

Think back to last week… are you thinking yet? Sure, go on and bask in your healthy victories, but that’s actually not the point of this assignment right now. Instead, think with fervent thought about the bad, semi-decent, half-assed, or any totally flucked-up moments you experienced in last week’s quest for healthy living. Maybe it was too much bacon? Or perhaps an overactive lazy bone?

Whatever it might have been, the Wild Card Bonus Star is gonna give you a do-over. Your mission this week is to make improvements over last week in any area(s) where you personally feel you could have done better. If at the end of this week your Wild Card efforts led to better, healthier moments compared to last week, then give yourself that star!

I intend to earn my own Wild Card Star this week by drinking more water AND getting to bed on time, because I overslept twice last week and it caused my workouts to suffer.

You should be giving yourself do-overs ALL the time, because this finishing road your on is not 100% smooth, straight, or without incident. The finishing path has everything from bumps, potholes, wrong turns, hidden ditches, unexpected detours, and goal-eating zombies.

Last week I earned 24 out of 28 stars. Shout yours out in the comments. Have a great week, everybody! xo
