The last post discussed how important it is to clearly define your goal. Today we are going to discuss how you can use that clear definition to help support your efforts to success.
Your health and fitness efforts are all about your goal. So, picture yourself reaching your goal. Maybe you just finished a 10K race, or maybe you just zipped up the size 10 jeans for the first time in ten years. Can you see it in your mind now? How do you feel? Feels pretty good, doesn't it?
What can you do to remind yourself of this success? Do you have a photo of you in the jeans 10 years ago? Or a photo of you running a successful race years ago? If you do have these photos, try to dig them up and use them.
If you don't have photos, you will need to create something to remind yourself that you will and you can accomplish this. Maybe you can look through a magazine and find of photo of your goal, or maybe you will have to write yourself a reassuring message. Perhaps, "I CAN lose 10 pounds and I WILL look great in my little black dress. OK, I know it sounds hokey but this reminder may help you when you need it most.
Now post this photo or reassuring message somewhere in the kitchen in plain sight it you can. If you are not comfortable posting it in plain sight (family teasing can be brutal!) then post it somewhere you will be able to see it throughout the day to reaffirm your commitment to success. Maybe you could post it on the inside of a kitchen cabinet door that only you use. Where ever you chose to put it, try to be able to view it a few times during the day.
Strength and support can come in the most surprising places. Make sure you place yours in a place you won't have to look too hard for it!
