Week 49 - 50 Weigh-in: FEEDBACK, NOT FAILURE

Image
All news is good news. Imagine walking on a rocky surface — maybe a beach, or a dry creek bed, or a hiking trail. Some of the stones are stable and solid. If you step on them, they don’t move. Some of the stones aren’t stable. They wiggle or tip when you step on them. With every step you take, you are getting feedback about the path. And you can use that immediate feedback to correct course as needed. If you step on a rock, and it shifts, did you fail? No. You just got important information about the next thing to do — try another rock. You got feedback......... Feedback is just information It's data that you can use to make a decision. Imagine yourself in a gym...... If you feel yourself leaning too much to one side, or losing your grip on a weight, or losing your balance, you take action to correct that. Same as with your eating habits If you notice that pizza seem to make you overeat, or make you feel sick, then you make a decision about whether to keep that pizza around.

For example, writing down water as my next meal is a planning but writing down 2 glasses of water is another version and a better one. It's better to be detailed enough while planning so that it would meet it's purpose, i.e. meeting a healthier lifestyle.  In other words ambiguity should be totally avoided when planning meals. If you plan to eat rice for dinner today, what style will it be? Jollof rice, plain rice,

Week 48 weigh-in: Goals Re-evaluation

This is February and its so surprising how time flies these days. I wonder if our activities was more than what it used to be. Somehow within the month of January,  I realized that many resolutions and good intentions are already waning. The need for this post is for a re-awakening and a call to refocus so that we would be celebrating and not bemoaning our achievements at the end of 2017. Losing focus is never intentional and we must understand that fact, I mean no one desires to do a thing that she  is so passionate about only to get lost in the middle of it, there are some factors that could be responsible and we will just highlight them. Mark my words "could be".
