Goals, DO you really know how to set your goals and how to
follow through with them? I will help you get your goals set and I will help
you with giving you the tools to help you follow through. But you really have
to be the strong one here I can’t be at your house or follow you around to make
sure you are sticking to the plan. SO are you ready? Let’s do this!
The first thing is to create a foundation, with a strong
foundation you can build anything. A house with a strong foundation will last
forever with the proper maintenance.
Challenge that inner voice yes I said it challenge yourself.
Every day we have our inner voice talking to us. Our inner voice tells us to
eat that taco bell or to choose the healthy route. Our inner voice talks us
into exercising or tells us to sit on the couch. So what we need to do is get
our inner voice on the positive side and on the right track. First we are going
to make a list of what we want to accomplish. Sounds simple right? Yes get the
voice out of your head that says; “you are fat” Because you do have the voice
that is encouraging. Once you decide to succeed you will knock out the negative
voice.
Next you have to ditch the dieter’s mentality. To succeed
you have to give up the mentality that you are on a diet. There is not a diet
out there that really works. True I post about the 7 day diet challenge but
those are designed to teach you how to eat healthy and to cut calories. It’s a
lifestyle change. You have to change your eating habits and control your
portions. There are no diet pills or juices that are the answer to weight loss.
True there are people that lose weight with those gimmicks. Because one they
are cutting calories and moving their bodies more while taking this new
expensive urine. So stop thinking there is a magic cure to being skinny. You
have to drop the diet mentality and start thinking healthy choices. Don’t think
that Pizza or white rice is bad for you because it is not. There are ways to
make those foods without the extra carbs and calories. Also don’t feel that you
have to stay away from all those foods either. You have to eat things in
moderation. Goals have to be set on everything like the goal of how many
calories you are going to eat per day to lose weight or the goal of how much
you are going to work out. I use an app on my phone that is called my fitness
pal to log my meals so I can keep track of my goal of calories for the day. It
is free and very helpful. I do this
because I have decided to succeed and follow through on my goals.
Define what matters to you the most, what are your
priorities? Select ones that are a good fit in your life. We will call these
your life priorities. These are the goals that have to be worked on to make
life happy. Now health and fitness are not life goals that should be your life
style. And when you change your life priorities you change your life style. So
take out a piece of paper and write down your priorities. Here is a list of
questions you can ask yourself.
1.
What is important to you?
2.
What are
your values?
3.
What gives
you joy and happiness?
4.
What
gives you pride?
5.
What do you want to see change?
When you understand these things you will be able to
understand your life style and organize the priorities.
Once you get this
list of priorities you need to break them down. What is your number one
priority, second and third and fourth? Once you have them listed write out
beside them the reason you placed them in that order. Next out beside them
again write how you are going to honor that priority what actions and commitments
are you going to take to make sure you get that priority in action? Do you see
what changes you are going to have to make?
Now this is your foundation list. Your next list will be the
writing of 10 goals once each week. Your goals should have at least one health
and fitness goal in mind and you should be thinking about your foundation. Here
is a list that will help you create your list.
1. They should weave with your priorities.
2. Personal and related to your work, professional
3. You should also be taken out of your comfort zone; rip
the band aid off is what my coach tells me.
4. Think ahead, in the next year you would like to see what
happen?
5. When writing your goals don’t write them as you are
looking to the future, write them as you already have that goal.
6. Create goals that will push you, make them tough.
7. Always include a goal that will make you money.
When I lived in Las Vegas one of my co-workers told me to
write out exactly what I wanted in life and to be specific about every detail. So
yes be specific as to every detail. Like if you want a new house put down
exactly what that new house should look like down to the color of the curtains.
Because when you write it down it creates scar in your
brain. And that makes you work towards your that goal subconsciously.
I hope that this
gives you a good start to goal setting.
Have great day.
