The Salquist Coaches talk about what it would be like to get better each day rather than strive to be good.   Heidi Grant Halverson said "Just like goals, not all plans are created equal. An effective plan is one that spells out exactly what will be done, and where and how." That is the truth. Get creative with your plan to reach your goal. Love the process and be flexible to the outcome. You never know, something amazing (even an obstacle) could get you back on track or catapult you to something you never imagined.   Baby steps...Baby steps...Baby steps...Specific planning...Specific planning...  If you would like to watch some of our videos, you can find us on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook: Next Level Wellness or @nextlevelpnw
