How's your New Year's Resolutions coming along? Do you still remember what they were? Here we are....56 days into the new year, are you executing on your plan? Has your enthusiasm for your plan dropped off? Do you have a plan?
For many, life has gotten in the way. Our intentions are right on....BUT. I heard it said, long ago, "you can have results or excuses, just not both." Here are 3 quick tips to get you back on track:
1. Look again at your goal(s) for the year. NOW, reduce your time frame from the calendar of January to December, to the immediate next 12 weeks. Just focus on what you would like to accomplish in the next 12 weeks. For example; you have a goal to lose 20 lbs. this year. Focus the next 12 weeks on just 10 lbs.
2. Once your have your 12 week Goal in mind, what are the 2-4 actions that you can do that will get you in position to hit your goal? Be VERY specific with your action. In other words, don't just say, "I want to lose weight this year." or "I want to be out of debt" etc. Have your focus be on the ACTIONS. These are actions that YOU can control. Here are a few examples for a health/weight loss related goal:
- Consume 1500-2000 calories a day
- Work out 5-6 days a week
- 3 days cardio
- 2-3 days of weight/resistance training
- Get 8 hours of sleep each night
- Consume 120 oz. of clear water each day
Once again, it is what YOU can control that will make the difference.
3. Now it's time to implement/execute the plan. Don't wait until all the conditions are "right." START NOW!
Depending on what your GOALS/RESOLUTIONS are, do something that you can track daily and then look back at. Writing in a journal at the beginning or end of the day is a great way to do this. At the end of your 12 weeks, reflect back on where you started to where you are at and you'll see your progress in this journey
Today is a good as a day as any to get started as it is "the first day of the rest of your life!" 2017 can still be your BEST YEAR YET!
