There's no right or wrong answers here - just what feels true for you. Type your own below, or pick from the examples.
Write it below - and we'll walk it through the BRAVE framework together.
How scary does this feel on a scale of 1–5?
If yes — describe what will change in your life once you've achieved it. If not — press back and adapt your goal to one that does, then come back to this question!
You are much more likely to follow through on goals that truly mean something to you — opposed to ones that have been imposed upon you. Body autonomy (which is super supportive for a positive body image!) means you get to decide what's worth working towards.
Connect how this goal fits with your future self.
Picture your ideal relationship with your body, food, and how you want to feel day to day.
Imagine the thoughts, feelings and experiences you would like to embody.
Is this goal aligned with that?
For example — if you want to feel free around food and calm in your body, a physique photoshoot is not aligned with that version of you.
e.g. Because I want future-me to enjoy food again, guilt-free and free from the cycle of starting again on Monday — working on my relationship with food feels very aligned. Future-me doesn't use food as a coping mechanism, and this goal supports that by helping me build other coping strategies.
How does it connect to those?
e.g. "Performance goals help me appreciate my body for what it can do, not just how it looks — so my goal of running 10k definitely supports my value of body appreciation and feeling capable."
Proof of your progress will help you stay motivated, especially on the harder days. When motivation dips, when you face a challenge, when life gets in the way — having evidence of how far you've come can be the thing that keeps you going.
e.g. You have overcome harder days than this. Keep going!
