Achieve All Your Goals With These 3 Simple Steps
Did you know that the day after labor day and January 2 are two of the most significant days of the year where people set goals?
It's real.
As a matter of fact, around this time of year you're almost certainly going to start keep thinking about how you want your life to be like when January comes around. You may kick off setting some goals. You might want to build a hard body with muscles of steel lose weight or get stronger. Doesn't matter what you're goal is really
I'm going to share with you 3 simple steps to achieve all your goals (fitness and otherwise):
Step Number 1 -- A Definite Vision of Your Goal
This is simply picturing what you want your life to be like when you achieve your goal. Form a mental picture of yourself achieving your goal and living it and make it as vivid as possible in your mind. For a good book on how to do this you should check out Maxwell Maltz's New Psycho-Cybernetics.
After that you are to remain optimistic, no matter what it takes, and HAVE FAITH that you will accomplish your goal(s).
Here's a fast visualization tip. I'll make use of the example of wanting to become stronger and lifting extra weight for your next workout routine...
1. Take a deep breath, calm down and close your eyes
2. Visualize the last time you successfully lifted a weight
3. Feel all the emotions - the pride, the accomplishment, the satisfaction
4. When you're doing this right you will be smiling at your achievement
5. Picture yourself acting out your next lift with success and FEEL those same emotions
6. Go do your lift!
This is the way the athletic pros visualize for success. And you can use the same process on virtually any goal: getting stronger, losing weight, quitting smoking, making money, whatever
Step Number 2 -- A Plan To Make It
When you have a vibrant imagination of what you want to accomplish, you need a plan in order to make it. And it's as effortless as recalling the objective while following the plan. As George Foreman said regarding success it comes down to "Plan Your Work and Work Your Plan".
It was effective for Georgey and I expect it will be successful for you too.
Step #3: People To Keep You Accountable
This is an often overlooked step. You really need some people in your life to keep you accountable. I hear as far as diets go that Weight Watchers is most effective at getting people to lose weight because every week you have to tell another person how much weight you've lost. And if you don't well you don't want to be the guy who didn't lose weight right?
