Members that achieve STAGE IV, will have achieved their
goals, destinations or resolutions and will learn to
establish the practices of maintenance. Keeping a newly
found standard for the long term by continuing to
stimulate Physical, Intellectual and Emotional
Intelligences.
As seen in Figure 1 – 124, the potential outcome of a
member’s LIFE at this stage is very specific and identified,
leaving little room for variations.
However, their often can be the challenge of stagnation or
apprehension of direction for members of this stage.
Professional athletes and aging celebrities all face this
issue. The CHOICE one of maintaining the standard if
desired or figuring out where to go next.
What if your goal was a one-time achievement like
completing a marathon OR meeting a weight-loss goal?
Once members in STAGE IV reach their objective, he or
she may feel good about the accomplishment but no
longer feels motivated to work at it.
With weight loss, this can lead to the stressful and
demoralizing yo-yo diet effect where large swings in
weight can also lead to serious health consequences.
