Here’s a good article – and advice – from Leigh Peele
1. Grab a pen and paper.
2. Write down goals that you have achieved in the past towards your fitness and body composition. Not what you are trying to achieve, but what you already have achieved.
Need some ideas?
-Stuck to a pre-made meal plan the whole day
-Did every workout I planned to the whole week
-Finished reading a great book on fitness and health
-Came up with a healthy and fast meal
-Helped educate others on proper nutrition
3. Write underneath the goal how achieving it made you feel and what you learned.
Example:
♥ Goal Achieved-I created 1 weeks worth of meals plans for my fat loss goal and stuck to it the whole week without failure.
♥ Feeling about goal-I felt great! I not only stuck to my set goal and felt accomplished in that, but I lost 1 lb of fat that week and made good strength increases.
♥ Lesson Learned-That I can stick to a plan, it was really hard some of the time, but I did do it and I am a little proud of myself.
4. For the next week repeat as many of those goals as possible.
Sometimes we get so caught up in achieving a goal that we see completing that goal as the end, when really it should be the start to doing it all over again. For example, fat loss is just achieving one good day over and over again.
A ”do over” is just another chance to do it…
