To help you finally get in shape in 2009, here are 5 secrets goal-achievers use to succeed:
1. Don't tell anyone else about your goals.
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.
If you want to drop 20 extra pounds, think about why. And dont think this is obvious stuff either. What you need to know is what personally motivates you and gets you emotionally involved. Is it because you want to look better? Have more energy? Attract a new mate? Re-attract and old one? Figure it out.
3. Use this reason to keep you going when things get rough.
Whenever you feel like giving up or taking it easy after a couple months have gone by and your goals lose their luster, remember your reason for making the resolution in the first place. Focus on that and your fire will reignite
4. Get around likeminded people.
Your habits reflect the habits of those around you. Getting around healthy people will make achieving your goals easier. Being around unhealthy people gets you up for failure.
5. If you screw up, don't worry about it.
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.
