Achieving The Body You Want In 2009
Here are 5 secrets to help you get in shape this year:
1. Keep your goals PRIVATE.
You don't want other people who aren't as committed to their health to bring you down with their negative energy. If the wrong person finds out you want to lose a few inches from your waist or exercise every day, this could happen. Don't let it.
2.Figure out WHY you want to accomplish your goal.
Since you've made a resolution to get in shape, think of your reasons why. This is more important than you realize. You need to figure out what personally motivates you and gets your juices flowing. Do you want to look better in the mirror, have more energy? Attract someone new into your life? Whatever the reason is, you must know.
3. Keep this reason in mind when things get tough.
Whenever it gets tough maintaining your new habits day after day or you start to prioritize other things, keep this reason in mind. Focus on it and you'll be back in action in no time.
4. Get around likeminded people.
This means avoiding your friends who overeat if you want to clean up your diet. And getting around active people if you want to exercise more. Like it or not, its a lot harder to accomplish something alone.
5. If you miss a few days, don't pout.
If you don't exercise as consistently for a few days, relax. If you eat a few too many cheat meals, don't worry. Feeling bad won't do any good. Just keep moving forward and you'll be all the better for it.
Arm yourself with these five strategies and youll get halfway through 2009, look back, and realize youve transformed your body for the better. - 17268
