The 3 Goals That Really Matter

Published by Vicki on

When you think of “health and fitness goals” you probably envision counting calories and steps, grueling workouts, depriving yourself of the things you love (like chocolate and wine). And while you do need to track your efforts to make progress with your health and fitness, not every choice should be about restriction or punishment. You actually need goals that are bigger than “losing weight” or “getting in shape”. You need to Think Big Picture!

No, it’s not about fitting into your “skinny” jeans, meditating endlessly or being able to chug water like a champ (one of my specialties). The goals I’m talking about are bigger than that, and are the very essence of why we are in these bodies in the first place.

Each and every day you’re going to have to make dozens of decisions that will help you follow through with your goals or cause you to abandon them. Keep this in mind as you face challenges each day, and know that you have the power to make your next choice a great one! Once you decide that these 3 things matter more than your indulgences or your to-do list, everything else will fall into place.

The 3 Goals that REALLY matter aren’t ones you’ll find posted on the wall of the gym. They are not usually listed on the covers of books and magazines. They are not complicated or revolutionary, but they are extremely important. If you aren’t actively working towards these 3 things – you’re missing out on life!

I’m Vicki Wiepking - a wellness coach, writer and teacher. I love to play outdoors and try not to take anything too seriously - myself especially. I work with busy women who are ready to start a new lifestyle, let go of negative thinking and basically anything else that is weighing them down. I help my clients embrace their best selves and stop listening to the voice that makes them self-sabotage. Yeah, we all have that little voice - and I'll help you make it work for you instead of against you! I have always been a student of alternative health and wellness, and wanted to find a way to combine my love of nutrition, essential oils, yoga, and nature into a productive lifestyle for myself. I started a wellness coaching practice and began working with clients over 15 years ago. Through the years I observed first hand how women specifically needed help in their daily lives on not just physical, but emotional and psychological levels as well. So, I developed the Mind Body Blueprint. It is designed to help busy women achieve their health and fitness goals. But first, a few things about me.... - I love doing laundry.  No ironing, and I don’t really separate colors.  My hubby doesn’t let me touch his clothes.  Maybe that’s why I like it… - I take bubble baths almost every night.  Sanctuary time for sure. - I turn the music up in the car and sing real loud. You do it too, I've seen you. - My favorite shows: Gone with the Wind – Scarlett rocks.  Grace and Frankie – because I love laughing and crying at the same time. - Cooking calms me down…until I get too many things going at once and wreck something.  It all tastes good in the end usually. - Thanks to my yoga practice I can still do the splits and a pretty good handstand.  Cartwheels optional. My hubby and I are obsessed with outdoor adventures. You might find us whitewater rafting, skiing or relaxing on the beach - depending on the season.
