To help you finally get in shape in 2009, here are 5 secrets goal-achievers use to succeed:
1. Keep your goals to yourself.
The last thing you want is for the wrong person to find out that you want to improve your diet or take a few inches off your waistline. Because he or she will try to bring you down with negativity and get in the way of you developing new and good habits. Dont even give them the chance.
2. Give your goal a reason.
If you want to exercise every day, decide why. I'm very serious. You must know what drives you emotionally even when times are tough. Do you want more energy throughout the day, or to look more attractive? Maybe you're concerned about heart health? Figure it out because this step is crucial.
3. Remind yourself of this reason when you lose motivation.
Whenever you start slacking off after a few weeks or you just don't feel like putting the effort in anymore, recall your reason for making this goal. Set your sights on that and you can find the power to keep moving forward.
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 screw up, don't worry about it.
Dont worry if you fall back into your old habits for a week. If you miss a couple workout sessions, dont waste time feeling bad. Just get started again and treat it as a learning experience. If you eat bad for a week or two, pouting won't do any good. Just laugh it off and get started again.
Use these five secrets and you'll transform your body in 2009 for the better.
