The 9 simple ways of achieving your goal

1)Must be specific, attainable and challenging: I want to lose 15 pounds in one year: is challenging, attainable and specific. If you said I want to lose weight that is not specific, if you said I want to lose 15 pounds in a week, that is not attainable, unless you have liposuction of something, and if you said I want to lose 1 pound, that is not challenging.

2)Why you want to achieve it?From the above example: If you said you to be in better health for I can spend more time with my kids, instead of dying early, that would be a great goal. Be specific as possible. The stronger your motivation on this goal, the better.

3) What are the obstacles of achieving your goal?: one of my obstacles of trying to get shape was my legs was always, tired, because of my former job as security guard, because I had to walk around all night. Before my goal, I was stretching, but not enough, so I added more stretches and eventually I ended up quitting that job. I had to put off my workout for awhile until I got my legs back into shape.

4)What sacrifices do I need to make? If you want to quit drinking that means you have to spend less time with your friends that drink all the time.

5)Who can help me with my goal? It is always better to find a partner or mentor to help with your goals. If your goal is to to quit drinking, you could join AA. If your goal is to quit smoking, how about reading some books, or find a friend that wants to quit too. Your spouse should help your goal as well

6)What information do I need ? You could always read a book or even better yet, use the internet to help achieve your goal.

7)What are the steps you need to reach that goal: To weight it could be join a gym, get books on weight loss, and get a diet cookbook

8)What is your commitment? On a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate yourself. If scored a low score, don’t even bother, or wait until you are committed. Most people want to quit smoking, but their commitment is very low, when they get lung cancer, their commitment is very high.

9)What one thing can I do today: sometimes we are so motivated on our goals, then the next day we are not that motivated. The quicker you act on your goal, the better, do not wait, unless it is low priority goal, like, read a novel or something.
