Baby Steps to...Awesomeness!!

"The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, learn about them, or even seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, where they plan to go along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them." 

-Dennis Waitley

The first step of setting any goal, health related or not, is having a desire to change. Then comes action. Any goal, big or small, will never be reached unless you do something. Doing is what gets it done! So if you're ready grab a pen and paper. If you haven't yet been able to fully articulate exactly what you want to accomplish, make two columns labeled short term and long term goals on your paper. Write a short list for both and then decide which you can realistically accomplish.

Here are some useful steps that might help you stick to it!  Good luck! Remember, you have the key to your success!

•  What do you want? Be clear and specific.
•  Believe your goal is attainable. Be realistic.  
•  Have daily reminders of your goals, ex. sticky notes on bathroom mirror or refridgerator
•  Create your action plan. What steps do you need to take to accomplish your goal?
•  Celebrate every small success, even the small steps you take leading to your goal.
•  Focus on one goal at a time.
•  Do at least one action a day on your list.
•  Find a goal buddy. 

"The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get." -Jim Rohn
