Goals are the road map for success. They provide you with a focus and defined outcome. But, they must be set properly. Here are six steps for goal setting from the book "Think & Grow Rich", which is a great book for anyone who is looking to be successful in anything.
Step 1: Fix in your mind the exact desired goal. It is not sufficient to say "I want to lose weight." Be definite in the amount.
Step 2: Determine exactly what your intend to give in return for the goal you desire. There is no such reality as "something for nothing."
Step 3: Establish a definite date when you intend to achieve your desired goal.
Step 4: Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.
Step 5: Write out a clear, concise statement of the goal you intend to achieve, name the date when it will be achieved, state what you will give in return for the goal, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to achieve it.
Step 6: Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once in the morning when you wake up and once just before you go to bed. As you read - see and feel and believe yourself as already having achieved your goal.
Take some time this week to think about what you want to achieve and then set a goal using the above steps. By not setting goals you are just wandering in the dark.
Live Fit,
