Regardless of which religion, if any, that you follow or what traditions you may have, I hope this final week of 2007 will be a relaxing and joyful one in which you get to spend time with family and friends.
I continually stress the importance of goal-setting with many of my clients and all of you newsletter subscribers. The ability to set clear and attainable goals is the most important tool to ensure the success of any accomplishment.
You may want to finally get into that bikini, lower your golf handicap to a single digit, get a raise at work, or do 100 push ups without stopping. To successfully reach your goal, you must make sure you are clear and focused on the end result.
Many people choose to take this week off from work and spend time with family and friend. And for many, this week is a time to decompress and re-energize for 2008.
In my world, I must prepare for the onslaught of clients with New Years resolutions and reinvent ways to keep them motivated after the first few weeks. The good news is that I have a proven system that works for my clients.
AND by using a time-tested program to lose body fat and learn healthy lifestyle changes, I know that every single one of you will succeed.
So today I am going to teach you one of the methods I use for keeping people focused after the initial excitement of New Years resolutions wears off.
I want you to take out a sheet of paper or index card to carry it around for the next few days.
Now divide the card or paper into five columns and title the top of each column. The categories in no specific order are:
• Career
• Health
• Education
• Finance
• Family
Over the next few days, until New Years Eve, I want you to write down things you want to accomplish in each area on that card. They can be large or small, but all should be easily attainable.
Then on New Years Eve, before you head out to that great party, take out a fresh sheet of paper or index card and prioritize them from most important to less important.
Many of the items that are most important will take several steps and therefore will need to be at the top of the list. For example, if losing 20 lbs is most important… well you can’t go to bed and wake up 20 lbs lighter. You need to plan, download workouts, make lists for the grocery store, set out a calendar to ensure you get to the gym and make time for fitness.
When you look at your list you will be inclined to take the necessary steps to accomplish your goal. Look over your list everyday when you wake up and before you go to bed. Make sure you do a little something everyday to get closer and closer to reaching your goals.
You will see how easy it is to check more and more items off your list and ultimately build the lifestyle you want for yourself.
To help you with this project I am including an article on items you need to have with you in your car, luggage or around your office to ensure fitness success in 2008.
