OMG! Did I Just Make THAT Happen?
My first experience with intention setting kind of rocked my world. It was maybe 2004 (?) and I was reading Martha Beck’s “Finding Your North Star”. One of the exercises in the book asks that you set 3 *WILDLY IMPROBABLE GOALS* (a.k.a. WIGs). So, I played along... I set 3 goals that seemed like a pretty big stretch to me.

Nothing left to do, I guess

I Treat My ________ Better Than My Body
Early on in my coaching career, I had a client who—like many of us—felt that she knew what to do to get herself fit and healthy, but could not seem to get herself to commit to actually doing these things. Cara* and I talked a lot about her WHY. Why did she want to get herself fit and healthy? Tapping into our why is what gives us the motivation to take action. Cara had some sort of generic responses like “I want to be healthier” and “I want to be able to keep up with my kids
