Why your not getting results in your fitness goals.
Step 1: CLARITY
Get clear with what you want and why you want it. List 3 reasons WHY you want the THING because the more REASONS you can explain to yourself and others the more convicted in your decision your going to be. This will improve your ability to follow through on your goal more especially when it starts to get difficult. Because it will get difficult and during those times of the difficulty reminding yourself of THOSE REASONS will help keep you on track. Because the feeling will FADE. TRUST THAT.
Reason 1 –
Reason 2 –
Reason 3 –
Step 2: ACCEPTANCE
Accept the fact that nothing worth doing comes for free. You will have to GIVE UP SOMETHING in order to get the thing you want. You will have to accept the fact that this journey you are going down is going to be rough waters for about 50% of the time and it may feel like closer to 80% of the time. Do you have good enough reasons to get you through this tough times? Remember the storm will pass and keep showing up even its not perfect. Imperfectly doing is your motto.
Do you accept to give up temporary SOCIAL time with friends / family and make plans around your scheduled workouts?
Do you accept to give up the temporary FUN & EXCITEMENT feeling (there will be days that training feels like work)?
Do you accept to give up temporary BOREDOM feeling (the routine at times may feel boring and repetitive)?
Do you accept that more than 50% of the time you are going to face temporary RESISTANCE of not wanting to show up and train?
Are you ready to TURN PRO?
Step 3: PLANNING
Look ahead at your next 12 weeks and see what is upcoming. Is there anything that will interfere with your training?
Family vacations, dinners, birthdays, weddings?
Religious ceremonies or events?
Friends vacations, dinners, birthdays,weddings?
Work related functions, events or parties?
Civic or court duties?
Health doctor,dentist, or therapy appointments?
Community service events?
Step 4: TRACKING
Because if your not tracking your guessing and when you guess you leave room for you to bullshit yourself.
Mark off on a calendar the days you worked out.
Do you accept tracking your weights during your workout for the next 12 weeks?
Do you accept tracking your workouts on a calendar for the next 12 weeks? by drawing an X on a calendar?
