Don’t you just love New Years. Everyone is so optimistic and fired up about the possibilities of the next year being their best year. Did you know that the most common resolution is to loose weight and get fit. Ironic that only 15% of people actually work out, and only 5% of that achieve real fitness that lasts a lifetime. So here we are in July, the halfway point. July 2nd, Saturday to be exact! Did you make a resolution this year? How are you doing, really? Maybe it’s time to make a Mid-Year Resolution.
Wouldn’t it be great to have a do over like when we were kids. Well, now is your chance! Take a few moments out of your day to really focus on what you want. Set yourself a Mid-Year Resolution to be proud of. Next, tell everyone around you. Proclaim your new resolution and ask for accountability. Remember, this is your second chance. You have to do a years worth of work in half the time!Sounds so simple doesn’t it. Here is my short list on staying focused and goal oriented.
1. Write down you goals down everyday in the first person. Become emotionally attached to your goal. Let yourself imagine how it would feel to have accomplished your goal already. It is very important to write them down everyday. People that are constantly reminded of their goals have a hard time not working towards them. Make time every morning to jott them down and modify them as necessary.
2. Read them before every meal. Lets say you have a weight loss goal. How would you feel about putting that fatty burger in your mouth after you just read your own words of how good it feels to wear your clothes confidently and to be noticed everywhere you go because of your new physic. Like I said, remind yourself often.
3. Reward yourself well. Pick an extravagant prize for the end of the journey. Everyone has different circumstances and wants but I have had a client who when he lost 100 lbs, bought himself a Rolex watch. I had a client buy himself a new car when he lost 50. And I have had a client work off 60 lbs just to see the look on her husbands face when he came home from Iraq. I am a fan of rewards that you carry with you everyday. That way they are constant reminders of your greatness!
4. Discover your relationship with food. Have you developed habits that are keeping you from being as fit as you want to be? Too much caffeine, too much alcohol, too much snacking? Make a list of things you would like to change and tackle the one that will give the most immediate impact first. For me it was too much caffeine. Now that I have overcome the habit of grabbing a coffee or energy drink whenever I want something to drink has helped me to keel great and sleep better! What would you like to change?
5. Make it to more workouts. This time of year can be super busy but you still have to wake up each day and see you in the mirror the way you are right now. Increasing your workouts per week and your calorie burn (along with a great nutritious diet will help you reach the next level of yourself. Commit and make it happen!
It’s time to take massive active toward your resolution. Tony Robbins, says in his book “Awaken the Giant”, “we have flabby decision making muscles, and that the only way to fix that is to make huge decisions and stick by them!” Use this concept for your new Mid-Year Resolution. Make a stand today to be better from now on and forever.
