Decision Time
If you want to be fitter then you have to follow a few simple rules. That is firstly make a decision, a real decision something that is realistic achievable and time controlled. Perhaps your decision is to eat less sugar and lose 2lb a week before the school holidays at the end of May. You have to try to be specific when you make a decision, like is it all foods and drinks containing sugar or just chocolate and sweet desserts like cakes, biscuits and buns with your cup of tea or coffee.
Try to be very specific with your goals and decisions as this will help you to keep your goal alive. If you don’t make that decision very exact and precise you will find it easy to break the rules and make excuses for not sticking to your original decision. Your will to achieve will wither and weaken if you do not set targets that will assist you in keeping within your target ranges.
An example of this is telling you information to convince yourself it is no harm and only a little bit, will not make a difference. It does make a difference.
We all want to be the best that we can but this is a difficult task to balance daily life challenges with weather, traffic, financial issues etc. the list goes on.
Pick a task, or goal that is achievable and realistic in a short time span say like not to smoke for the next hour, or to eat an apple or piece of fruit instead of an unhealthy snack today.
When you see the power you have at achieving easy targets it can motivate you to go for a longer period of time and something more difficult.
Maybe for an athlete they can start to keep a diary of all food and snacks for a day then progress to a week etc..
This can also motivate you to think before you act and remember there is no room for kidding yourself. If you want to achieve your goal keep it in mind by visualizing the feeling of achievement. This can be an internal feeling of satisfaction, or a pat on the back from your mates or family. Whatever works to keep your goal within reach should be used regularly, so remind yourself of the benefits. If you want to beak a time, say your personal best time for an event, that in turn may lead to greater things and you may be selected on a relay team selected on a special squad for more elite athletes.
Now is the time to make a decision to think about what it is you want to do.
Find a quiet time perhaps in the evening before going asleep when your mind and body are in a relaxed state then visualise the finish, the final result, your goal, the target as if you have achieved it. Think of the feelings of satisfaction, pride, respect and happiness that you could achieve.
It all starts with a dream and begins with a decision. Make that decision right now you deserve to be given a chance to achieve, and only you can make it happen.
