Did you know that people set goals the day after the labor day and January 2 since these are the two of the biggest days of the year?

It’s right.

In fact, around this time of year you’re probably going to start thinking about how you want your life to be like when January comes around. You might start setting some goals. You may want to build muscle lose weight or get stronger. Doesn’t matter what you’re goal is really

I’m going to share with you 3 simple steps to achieve all your goals (fitness and otherwise):

Step #1: A Clear Vision Of Your Goal

This is purely imagining what you want your life to be like the minute you accomplish your goal. Establish a visualization of yourself arriving at your goal and living it and make it as intense as possible in your mind. For a good book on how to achieve this you must take a look at Maxwell Maltz’s New Psycho-Cybernetics.

Then you are to stay positive, no matter what, and BELIEVE that you will achieve your goal(s).

Here’s a fast visualization tip. I’ll make use of the example of wanting to become stronger and lifting extra weight for your next workout routine…

1. Take a deep breath, calm down and close your eyes

2. Imagine the last time you successfully lifted a weight

3. Feel all the emotions – the pride, the accomplishment, the satisfaction

4. Once you’re making this properly you will be pleased at your accomplishment

5. Visualize yourself performing your next lift with success and FEEL those same emotions

6. Go make your lift!

The athletic professionals picture this technique for success. Likewise you can make use of the similar process on almost any goal: growing stronger, going on a diet, giving up smoking, making money, whatsoever…

Step #2 – A Plan To Succeed

As soon as you have a sharp visualization of what you want to attain, you need a plan to succeed. After that it’s as easy as remembering the objective while following the plan. As George Foreman said concerning success it comes down to “Plan Your Work and Work Your Plan”.

It was successful for Georgey and I believe it will be effective for you as well.

Step #3: People To Keep You Accountable

This is regularly a disregarded step. You surely need some people in your life to keep you in charge. I hear as far as diets go that Weight Watchers is most useful at getting people to go on a diet because every week you have to update a different person how much weight you’ve lost. And if you don’t well you don’t want to be the guy who didn’t lose weight right?
