A big mistake when it comes to pursuing goals
A big mistake when it comes to pursuing goals: many people pursue short, middle, and long-term goals with the same physical and mental intensity. The reason this is a big mistake is because goals should build onto one another, not be approached as separate endeavors.
For example, here’s what a goal breakdown could look like:
- Long-term goal: lose 30 pounds
- Middle-term goal: lose 15 pounds
- Short-term goal: lose 5 pounds
What you have to do to lose 30 pounds may be very different than what you have to do lose 5 pounds. And the length it takes you to lose 30 pounds will certainly be different than the length it takes you to lose 5. As such, much of your focus should be on the short-term.
You only have so much mental and physical energy
You have a physical and mental energy tank, and once that runs out, you’ll feel like crud. Think about how you feel after a long, laborious day. Your body feels ground up like minced beef. Think about how you feel after a long, mentally exhausting day. Your mind feels ground up like minced chicken. Think about if you have a physically and mentally taxing day. Your mind feels like beef and chicken fried rice.
Eating well and training hard use up your mental energy and are not the only things you have going on in your life (at least if you’re reading this email – I normally don’t target people who get paid to be fit). You have other things going on, which means they’re all competing for those same physical and mental energy levels that you have to use to eat well and train.
When it comes down to it, you have to decide where you’re going to divert and invest your energy. On some days, you may feel you can train hard and not have it interfere with other stuff. On other days, training is the last thing you’re able to do. And because of this process, you can’t treat a long-term goal the same way as a short-term one, because the long-term goal should be separated from the day-to-day operations.
This is much easier said than done, because some people want to train hard. They want to eat well. They want to lead a healthier, fitter lifestyle, so when life hits them and they can’t, they feel awfully guilty and ashamed. This is the type of destructive mindset you want to leave behind. Guilt and shame also sap your energy, and much, much faster than a school project.
Delineate your goals. Don’t treat them all the same way. Differentiate the level of focus.
Most importantly, understand your long-term goal is supposed to be vague and far away, like a mountain off in the distance. The size should be imposing, intimidating, yet you know there’s a road that leads to it. Your ultimate long-term goals shouldn’t be achieved in a year, not even three. In fact, you can see your ultimate long-term goals as lifelong goals:
- To be as healthy as possible as you age.
- To maintain the highest quality of life possible.
- To let being healthy be part of who you are and support you in your endeavors.
If exercising, eating well, and living a healthy lifestyle don’t support the three above long-term goals, there’s no reason for you to engage in them. Doing a transformation challenge just to revert back to your old habits is a waste of your time, energy, and money. If you’re going to be the same in the end, you might as well do something you mentally buy in to and enjoy.
I hope this email was helpful for you. Let me know if you have any questions.
Yours truLEE in strength,
David

TELEMEDICINE, A MEASURE AGAINST COVID-19
TELEMEDICINE, A MEASURE AGAINST COVID-19
It is no secret that the Coronavirus is currently the issue that dominates the news worldwide. Something totally understandable for what OMS says is a pandemic, thus defined according to its rapid spread around the globe.
Uncertainty is the feeling that surely takes over many patients and health workers, as the numbers of people who have been infected and those who have lost their lives to the virus are continuously updated. As we write this article, there are more than 842,000 contagious cases in the world and 41,000 deaths in the world. Just in the United States, there are more than 180,000 contagious cases and 3,577 deaths from the same virus. These figures, provided by https://www.worldometers.info/, place the United States in first place due to the number of contagious cases followed by Italy, Spain and China, where the disease originated.
This virus requires that we take specific precautions with our hygiene practices to avoid being infected. It is highly recommended that the following practices are adhered to: frequent hand washing, use of antibacterial gel, avoidance of touching the mouth, nose and eyes, covering the mouth with the inside of the arm or tissues when coughing or sneezing and specifically social distancing.
This latest measure, which has been applied globally, has raised other types of questions in people. Many associated with the economy, but even more pressing ones associated with healthcare during the pandemic for reasons that may or may not be associated with the virus.
Due to this, many medical practices have been implementing telemedicine, an alternative that allows us to offer quality care to our patients without exposing them to the risk posed by contact with others suffering from various diseases.
Fortunately, we currently have multiple technological tools that allow us to sustain effective communication with our patients, whether by video calls, phone calls, text messages or emails among other tools; giving us the opportunity to minimize risks while monitoring chronically ill patients, providing ailment consultations or even identifying an early case of coronavirus.
While this consultation methodology may pose difficulties for some of our patients, it is important to note that for Formé Medical Center, it is a priority to ensure the care of our patients, but most of all the consideration of their protection. Given the circumstances, remote care is currently the only tool available to provide care for them.
There is no standard that can or should be applied to telemedicine, which means that each medical practice must be adapted according to its need. Acting in tune with our mission, “We believe that everyone has the right to affordable, dignified and high-quality health care, regardless of their cultural and economic background” which is why, in addition to, maintaining “compassionate and high quality healthcare”, we offer all our services and consultations with Spanish-speaking physicians that guarantee the best care to all our patients.
Remember that while you must stay at home, it is necessary to develop certain healthy lifestyle habits to strengthen your immune system, including:
1. Creating an eating plan according to your healthcare needs.
2. Avoiding overconsumption of simple carbohydrates.
3. Establishing an exercise routine at home.
4. Being attentive to any changes in your health and/or new symptoms.
The main goal of implementing these consultation strategies is to decrease the flow of patients in the health center which can increase the health risks of many others who continue to work for the well-being of the community.
After the process of telemedicine, the patient will be informed if they should proceed to a health center to continue treatment.
In case of any concerns, please contact us at 914-723-4900 or visit our website at www.formemedicalcenter.com, where you will find the option to contact our virtual receptionist by means of a video call.
At Formé: Our mission, your health!
