HOW TO SET POWERFUL GOALS THAT WILL FIRE YOU UP AND GET YOU ON THE FAST TRACK TO SUCCESS IN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM

BEFORE SETTING OUT ON A WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM YOU MUST FIRST DO A FEW SIMPLE TASKS

This may be the most valuable post on the entire blog…

So many people start their fitness and weight loss programs, and even their entire lives, without a plan or a goal.

This is not the way to success.

You MUST plan for success or you are planning for failure.

You see, in order to get to where you are going, you have to know where it is…or you are just wandering around in life.

Well it is the same in the gym and in your weight loss program. Without a goal then you are just shooting in the dark, and how stupid would that be?

Seriously, imagine standing in the dark with a bow and arrow and shooting arrows all over the place…how would you ever hit anything intentionally? You sure could never hit a target!

There have been countless books by some of the most famous self help authors who preach the art of setting goals and planning, yet less than 3% of the population will ever do it for anything.

Well that ends here for you!

The art of goal setting for weight loss!















Goals and goal setting techniques for weight loss include:

  • WRITE IT! – An unwritten goal is like a ‘poof in the wind’ There is just nothing there. You MUST write your goals on paper.

  • READ IT DAILY – If you just write it and never read it, you might just as well have never written it in the first place.

  • THINK BIG – Make your goals big, but realistic.

  • FAIL FORWARD – If you miss a goal then you at least made it farther than you would have without setting it in the first place. I call this failing forward.

  • MAKE SMALL GOALS – You need both large goals and short term goals for success. Short term goals help you to stay the course.

  • REWARD – When you hit your goals and targets you MUST reward yourself. Too often we make big accomplishments and then just move onto the next goal without ever recognizing that we did a great job! Set up a reward plan.

  • PUNISHMENT – When you fail to reach a goal it is not time to celebrate. You need punishments as well as rewards. Make them good too…punishment should suck and you should not want to do it.

  • ADJUST – You must adjust your goals from time to time. If a goal is too easy then you must make it harder…the opposite is true too.

  • CARRY – Carry your goals with you. Use a note pad that will fit in your pocket or purse and update and set new goals.

  • READ THE GOALS DAILY – No joke here, you need to review your goals every day in the morning and before bed…if not more frequently!

  • MINDSET – Set your mind up for success. KNOW that you WILL hit your goals, there is no question about it, it WILL happen

  • VISUALIZE – See your goals as having already happened. Your mind is powerful and if you see it as already having happened, then it will…the mind has no choice.

  • Seriously, this is not rocket science…check out the works of people like Zig Ziglar, Anthony Robbins, Denis Waitley, and other world renowned self help EXPERTS and you will hear/read the same things about goals.

    This is your key to successful weight loss, and you can even carry it on to the rest of your life!

    Hey…You WILL do it!
