Set your goals! It really does work.... Firstly decide what you want! This sounds self-evident, but if you have no idea what the target is, it will be impossible to know if you’ve hit the bulls-eye. Spend some time thinking about whats currently bugging you about your life. What is it that is holding you back? Not satisfying you? What areas do you want to measurably improve? See what you want! Virtually all self-improvement and human potential experts say the same thing: To have something in your life, you must first visualize it. Imagine achieving your goal in all the detail you can muster. Share what you want! Tell one person whom you trust all about your dream — the big dream, the one youre almost afraid to admit that you want to yourself. Support what you want Identifying, visualizing and articulating your ultimate goal will keep you motivated, but focusing on behaviors that support that goal will be the key to your success. When you’re only thinking about the outcome, it’s easy to imagine you’ll make changes … later. When you’re committed to doing what it takes to reach that outcome — whether it’s exercising at least five hours per week, taking yoga twice a week or mixing cardio classes and conditioning workouts every weekend — it’s much easier to hold yourself accountable. Take daily steps toward what you want The secret to staying on track is to commit to doing something — however small — every day. A 15-minute yoga break, a bottle of water consumed at your desk, eating vegetables with every meal … every small action takes you one step closer to your goal and, most importantly, reminds you that you are keeping your promises to yourself.
