Here we are, once again its the run up to Christmas. Time flies!!
Over the next 12 days, I have 12 posts to give you ideas covering Christmas food, gifts, training and motivation to help keep you going in the busy run up to Present day!
To begin, I have not a partridge in a pear tree, but... the number 1 best tip I can offer give you to ensure that 2012 is your absolute, without doubt best year yet!
Set your Goals
That's all. Sounds simple right? It is! Kinda...but it is completely vital for you to achieve what you want to. If you don't have a goal, a clearly defined, written down goal, how on Earth will you know if you have truly reached it?
"Goals that are not written down are just wishes. "

And we all know, "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride."
- English proverb
I've read a lot lately, on various topics - training, anatomy, business, self development etc and one of the common themes I've picked up is that of having clearly defined goals. I also have listened to the goals series by
Zig Ziglar, motivational speaker and master at goal setting and achievement.
By following some of his suggestions and becoming more goal oriented I have achieved more in the last 2 months then I had in the previous 4! I would strongly advise you start to setting clear goals and start working on em! Its an ongoing process but well worth it.
1. Decide what you want.
2. Write it down.
3. Write down why you want it.
4. Write down who you need to talk to and what you need to do to achieve it.
5. Go do it!
It really is that simple, but, and there is
always a but...
1. Be very clear about your goal. Fuzzy goals = fuzzy results.
2. If you don't write it, its a dream, its a wish. Write it down and put it somewhere you see it
everyday.
3. If you can't say why, in 1 concise sentence why you want to achieve your goal, you don't want it. Not right now at least. Put it aside for later.
4. You need a plan, who can help you, what steps are needed and how do you go about achieving it.
5. Go do it!
Whether your goals are fat-loss, muscle building, financial, personal, job based, family, whatever they may be, set your goals, and go get em!
(And if you can get a hold of the Zig Ziglar "Goals" series, I highly recommend listening to it!)
Remember to come back tomorrow for the 2nd day of Christmas...
Stay healthy.
