Achieving The Body You Want In 2009
To help you finally get in shape in 2009, here are 5 secrets goal-achievers use to succeed:
1. Keep your goals to yourself.
If someone isn't as committed to their health or fitness, they might feel negative about you trying to do your best. And you might get some bad energy sent your way for trying to lose weight or get in shape. Don't let this happen.
2. Decide your reason for achieving this 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.
It's important to be around others who will be just as active and healthy as you want to be. Friends who overeat and sit on the couch all day WILL drag you down.
5. If you miss a few days, don't pout.
If you eat a few too many unhealthy foods for a few days or skip a few workouts, it's not the end of the world. Just remember why you got started in the first place and keep making forward progress.
Arm yourself with these five strategies and youll get halfway through 2009, look back, and realize youve transformed your body for the better. - 17268
