Day 3: WOOP!

In last night’s Facebook video, we introduced you to the concept of setting WOOP goals, and you did the first half of the process yesterday, by getting clear on your WISH and its OUTCOMES.

W - Wish
O - Outcomes
O - Obstacles
P - Plan


Today, you’ll work through the most important part of this process, which is to create a plan for how you’re going to handle the inevitable obstacles that will pop up between here and the successful completion of your goal. This is the part that traditional ‘think positive’ approaches ignore. It’s all very well being all ‘ra ra’ and ‘gung ho’ at the moment of inspiration. It’s what happens when the rubber hits the road that we need to get clear on. People who visualise not just what they want to achieve, but how they will overcome specific obstacles are much more likely to reach their goals.
What are the obstacles that may prevent you from reaching your goal? Visualise each of these in your mind and write each down, followed by a plan to overcome them. Your plan may include more than one solution. Here’s an example:

Obstacle:

“I won’t feel motivated to get up and exercise when the alarm goes off in the morning.”

Plan:

Express this in terms of: “If / when [obstacle] then I will [action to overcome obstacle]”

"If I’m not motivated to get up and exercise in the morning, then I’ll commit to doing this for just three days at first and see if it makes a difference to how I feel during the day.”

“If I’m still struggling, I will…”
  • lay out my exercise gear beside the bed the night before (or even wear it to bed!)

  • take a half hour walk at lunch time instead, and experiment with exercising at different times of the day

  • download podcasts or audio books to listen to while walking

  • invite a friend to walk with me and have coffee together afterwards
Join us in the Facebook group at 8pm AEST tonight and we’ll check in with how you found this and talk through the next step in this process.

And please note: Friday’s Epic Masterclass will be happening on Facebook Live at 1pm AEST. By Friday, we want you crushing hard on your realistic goals and feeling READY FOR ACTION. We have some special things to share, including a big announcement about a way we can help a small number of you hit your goals over the next twelve months. Can’t wait! :-)
