Too often these BIG Goals are doomed for failure because they simply aren't specific enough. The more specific you are, the more likely you will be able to succeed. Write down your goals and resolutions in ways that allow you to track progress. And, equally important - measure your success!
For example- if you want to lose 10 pounds before Summer you might start losing just 1 pound a week. Start taking action immediately. Embrace a new habit - and build up your self esteem while you're at it. Exercise - however you like - for 30 minutes every day. Enjoy eating more fruits and vegetables and less of the stuff you know is bad for you. Find foods you enjoy. Learn a new sport. Sign up for a Zumba class. Whatever you choose - Enjoy your journey.
However small your steps - keep moving. If you want to become more fit, focus on being able to jog a little bit further every time you go for a walk, rather than being able to run 5 miles within a week or two. Sometimes progress is a little slower than you first imagined. That's OK! Just keep going.
Forgive yourself if you fail. Don't allow setbacks and failures to define your success If you slip or mess up, don’t beat yourself up. Okay, so you slept in and didn’t get to the gym like you’d planned. How about 5 minutes of stretching and a couple trips around the block? We all slip backwards from time to time. It happens to everyone. Just don’t let your setbacks get in your way. Reflect on the lessons they hold, make adjustments accordingly, then Cowboy up and get back in that saddle. Life rewards those who keep getting back up!
Wishing you a Year filled with Happiness, Amazing Success and Gratitude!
