“How can you harness commitment to reach your goals??”
Season 7 Episode 10
My guest on this week’s episode of The Lifestyle First Podcast is Dr Heidi Reader
Dr Reeder is the author of Commit to Win: How To Harness The Four Elements of Commitment To Reach Your Goals.
We discuss what commitment is and what commitment isn’t
We talk about commitment needing a psychological attachment and a desire to continue despite obstacles.
We look at the difference between commitment and motivation.
We explore 4 variables that influence commitment – treasures, troubles, contributions and choices.
We highlight the importance of committing to the journey of change and what you can control, not just to the goal.
We reflect on our innate sense of commitment
· The one question we discuss is “How can you harness commitment to reach your goals
· The two references we look at are:
(i) Reeder, H. Commit to win. How to harness the four elements of commitment to reach your goals
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Commit-Win-Harness-Elements-Commitment/dp/1594631336
(ii) Reeder, H. 5 ways to finally commit to your goals. Health Magazine. 2014.
https://www.health.com/fitness/5-ways-to-finally-commit-to-your-goals
· The three actions to take are
· Define what you wish to commit to, and the meaningful “why” behind it
· Identify the things in your way. Look them in the face and brainstorm workarounds.
· Imagine you are your future self, who has followed through on your commitment. Write yourself a letter describing the outcomes and feelings you have as a result.
Which of these 3 actionable health tips will you implement?
