Goals + Action = Weight Loss

Happy New Year

In order to get what you want, you must first decide what you want.

This is where most of us screw up because we simply can't see how it's possible to get what we want, so we don't allow ourselves to want it.

The brain doesn't respond unless it knows exactly want you want, then it figures out the how to's. Once you define your goals your brain and the universe can step in and assist you. Thoughts become things.

1. Dream Big. Decide to dream big dreams. This not only inspires you but others will want to ride the dream bus. Dream big every day!

2. Set goals that will stretch you. Sometimes you need to be a bit uncomfortable so you can grow. It's not the things you achieve it's the skills you acquire reaching them and who you ultimately become, these things never go away.

3. Turn Dreams into goals. Don't just say I want to lose weight say "I will lose 1 1/2 pounds a week until I reach my goal weight of 140 lbs, then I will run a 10K for charity. I once read, "Goals are dreams that have been defined."

4. Be of service to others. Find something you can participate in that will help you reach your goals and benefit others. For example, volunteer to walk dogs for the SPCA.

5. Write your goals down. Write them down in detail and read them every day.

Then close your eyes and ask yourself, "What is one thing I can do today to reach my goal?"

6. TAKE ACTION!!
