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.Figure out WHY you want to accomplish your goal.
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 others who support you.
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 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.
If you take advantage of these five secrets, 2009 WILL be the year you achieve the body of your dreams.
