Goals expectation standards

Coach Sall

Your Goal: what you want to happen, where you want to end up, your ideal scenario, what you are AIMING for. 
Your Expectation: what you predict will be the reality (always lower than the goal… until you actually achieve your goal). 
Your Standards: what is acceptable to you, where do you draw your line, what actions and commitments are you asking of yourself? 
For example, your goal might be 3 Strength Training workouts a week. 

Your expectation might be 3 workouts a week, 2 of which will be Strength Training because you know right now your schedule means you may have to come two consecutive days. 
Your Standard is you will not settle for less than those 2 Strength Training workouts. You will come whatever it takes and everyone and everything in your world needs to understand what’s happening here. 
Understanding the difference between these means you can stop trading unrealistic expectation for disappointment because you are so emotionally attached to the outcome (i.e. weight loss) that you lose sight of what it takes (time), the effort you have put in and the progress you have made (fitter, Stronger, happier, appreciation for your body). 
Remember, if you set a goal you can achieve straight away, was it really a goal? Goals take time, involve change and progress.  
That’s why you get a Coach with your membership. That's what your monthly Coaching & Accountability sessions with your Coach are for – to identify and celebrate each action that reinforces who you are trying to become so you can continue towards your goal without losing focus and without losing enthusiasm.
