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 biggest days of the year where people set goals?

It's right.

Actually, around this time of year you're most likely going to start dwelling on how you want your life to be like when January comes around. You might get under way setting some goals. You may perhaps want to build bigger, more robust muscles 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 #1 - A Specific Idea 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.

Next you are to stay hopeful, whatever happens, and HAVE CONFIDENCE that you will reach your goal(s).

Here's a quick visualization tip. I'll use the example of wanting to get stronger and lifting more weight for your next exercise routine

1. Take a deep breath, relax and close your eyes

2. Think about the last time you successfully lifted a weight

3. Be aware of all the feeling - the pleasure, the achievement, the fulfillment

4. When your performing this correctly you will be laughing at your success

5. Picture yourself acting out your next lift with success and FEEL those same emotions

6. Go perform your lift!

This is the approach the athletic champs imagine for success. Also you can utilize the same process on virtually any goal: becoming stronger, watching your weight, refraining from smoking, making money, whatever...

Step #2 - A Plan To Succeed

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 - Individuals To Keep You Responsible

This is frequently an ignored step. You certainly need some people in your life to keep you responsible. I hear as much as diets go that Weight Watchers is most efficient at getting people to count the calories since every week you have to inform a new 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?
