The upcoming year of 2010 can be a great year for you, if you decide what it is you want and you make a real commitment to achieving what you want by taking consistent daily action towards realizing your desires.
This time each year, I compose a list of clearly detailed goals. The experts say that once a goal is clearly defined in writing, it is 10 times more likely to be realized. I find that this simple task immediately generates a surge of motivation and energy to start taking action to reach those goals. Therefore, I challenge you to spend 10 minutes writing down 3 to 5 goals.
Goal setting and achieving is powerful but most people miss the boat. Why? According to Napoleon Hill, Brian Tracy and Tony Robins there are many reasons why people miss the boat when it comes to goals setting and achieving. Here are the top 2 reasons why people don’t set goals.
1. Most people don’t know the importance goal setting.
2. Most people don’t know how to set goals.
Goal Setting 101
1. Clearly define your goals in writing. Yes, nearly 100% of people have some sort of goals floating around in their head, but only 3 to 5% actually write them down. It’s no wonder why most people never get what they want; the subconscious doesn’t receive the message unless the eyes view it. When the subconscious mind is engaged, the conscious mind immediately goes to work unerringly towards the full attainment of your goals.
2. Define your “Reasons” or your “Why”. Write your reasons why you desire each of your goals to become realized in your life. Simply list in writing why you want to lose weight, gain weight, prevent the onset of a disease and/or feel better. “Reasons are the fuel in your furnace of achievement” Your goals may change but your reasons why will not.
3. Make a dated plan of accomplishment. A plan is simply a list of activities that each of your goals will require to become realized in your life. Goals must be time sensitive and a date of completion. A goal without a desired completion date is like a ship without a rudder. So give each goal a desired completion date and begin to plan out your strategy. A list of activities to get fit may have, taking control of your nutrition and eating habits, talking with a fitness expert, registering for 3-months of boot camp and/or group training, scheduling workouts on your calendar and NOT giving in to excesses or the blame game in 2010!
Once you have your goals clearly defined in writing now it’s time for you to take some action. If you are tired of being overweight, having low self confidence or not being able to fit into those “skinny jeans” then take action. You and only you can do this for you!

I write down my goals in a 2010 goals booklet. It is always in my wallet and I review it regularly. It keeps me focused on what really matters to me.
Enjoy and share,

Bev, I would dare say that that 3-5% figure may even be less. You can’t hit or achieve a target, if you don’t know what that target is. For all those reading this, this is not as hard to do as you think. It would be a great way to start off the New Year.
