THERE IS ONE QUALITY THAT ONE MUST POSSESS TO WIN, AND THAT IS DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE, THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT ONE WANTS AND A BURNING DESIRE TO ACHIEVE IT.
I've been told for years I should read. The more I read books the more knowledge I will gain. Well, I've slowly tried to adopt this into my lifestyle. While I'm not yet reading a book a month, which is my goal, here is what I know:
-In order to achieve success, study those who've succeeded. And then do what they did and what they do.
-Clarity is perhaps the most important concept in personal productivity.
-Those who reach their goals #1: Know what their goals are, #2: Use visualization or Vision Boards to help them attain their goals.
Have you read Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy? In it he talks about what it would be like if you had to eat a gross, live frog. How would you do it?
#1: If you have to eat 2 frogs, eat the ugliest one first,
#2: If you have to eat a live frog at all, it doesn't help to sit and and look at it for very long.
The book, of course, isn't talking about eating real frogs, but instead working through and accomplishing things we need to accomplish and not procrastinating. Ahhhh, how true.
Let's relate this to our fitness. You've signed up for boot camp but are you reaching your goals? Well, what are your goals? Do you know what they are? Where do you want to be in 90 days? If you thought just getting to boot camp was the answer, you were only partly right. You must have clarity as to where you want to be so you'll know: How many days you need to exercise, how many calories you need to eat, and this will then give you the will power to resist any alternative.
Some of you haven't yet put thought into changing your nutrition habits. Maybe this is a scary area for you. Or you're procrastinating tackling what it would take to learn about nutrition. It's easier to just keep doing what you're doing. But are you happy with the results? Do you feel good? What will it take to motivate you to change? A sickness? Heart attack? Oh I hope not! Let me assure you:
-Nutrition isn't that confusing.
But changing your habits isn't easy. I know. I get it. But it IS possible!
Ok. So now what?
Identify what you want to work on. Set your goals. Feel free to email me back and let me help you determine if your time frame for your goal matches the time and effort you are willing to put into reaching that goal. It's okay to reach a goal slower than in 90 days! It's ok and it's good to know if your action steps, will in fact, get you to where you want to be in a certain time frame.
After you know your goal:
-Take action immediately. Failure to execute is the biggest problem to not reaching your goal!
-Develop the habits of success. (Diet's don't work, good habits do)
-No shortcuts. Practice, practice, practice. With practice, you can learn any new behavior or develop any habit that you consider either desirable or necessary!
-The 3 D's of a new habit formation: Decision, Discipline, Determination
-Visualize yourself as you want to be! Your mental picture of yourself has a powerful effect on your behavior! Your self-image, the way you see yourself on the inside, largely determines your performance on the outside. All improvements on the outside, begin with improvements on the inside, in your mental pictures.
Eat that frog!
