How does Environmental Wellbeing Affect our Personal Wellbeing? | Occupational Medical Consulting - Workplace Wellness Solutions Many of us don’t think of the health of our planet when we think of our own health. But the two are more closely connected than you think. Contaminants and toxins that damage the earth, also damage our health. Air pollution causes respiratory illness and can make chronic conditions like asthma much…

Outcome vs Behavior Goals:

***Outcome vs. Behavior Goals***

Generally, when someone asks about their fitness goals, most people start with the outcome(s) they want:

-I want to lose 20 pounds.
-I want that thin-skinned, ripped look.
-I want to binge less often.
-I want to deadlift double my bodyweight.

Outcome goals describe how we want things to be at the end of the process.

There’s nothing wrong wanting things. Or talking about what you want. Or starting with the end in mind.

But we can’t stop there.

Wanting things isn’t enough. Even if you really, really, really want them.

Because: We often can’t control outcomes.

Outcomes are affected by environmental things. Like:

-Your job gets crazy busy.
-Your kid gets sick.
-Your gym closes for renovations.
-Your mom with dementia needs help.
-You have exams at school.

And they’re influenced by physical things. Like:

-Your hormones get out of whack.
-You have a chronic illness. (Or even just a tough bout with the flu.)
-You’re stressed.
-You’re traveling a lot.
-You’re getting older.
-You’re having problems sleeping.
-You sprained your ankle or your arthritic knee is doing its thing again.

You get the idea.

You can’t make your body do what you want it to. (And neither can your personal trainer.)

But you can control what you do.

That’s why behavior goals are so important: They focus on the things we do have control over.

Behavior goals represent your commitment to practice a particular set of actions or tasks every day, as consistently and regularly as possible.

10 Tips to Strengthen Your Knees and Keep Them Healthy The knee is the joint where the bones of the upper leg meet the bones of the lower leg. The knees are the largest body joints which provide stability and also help us walk, run, stand, turn, and crouch. Being active is very important for healthy joints, however sometimes they need rest and more care...

Here's a really simple (yet super valuable) nutrition tip:

In the coming days, as you plan a meal, start with protein and veggies.

You don’t need to eliminate or even limit carbs. But since carbs are everywhere, think about where you’ll get your protein and veggies first.
