Have you written a list of New Year resolutions that you can look back over the year and mark off as you accomplish each one?
I know I have, in fact I have 8 goals that I want to achieve by the end of 2012.
Achieving your goals in 2012 isn't as hard as you may think
For me as I’ve got older, my goals are SMART goals.
What I mean is:
S – Specific
M – Measurable
A – Achievable
R – Realistic
T – Timely
That’s absolutely no point in writing down that I want to fly to the moon by the end of 2012, because you know what, it isn’t going to happen.
SMART goals are achievable goals that you can set yourself over the whole of 2012.
So, if you want to run a marathon this coming summer than you need to plan each individual step, how often you need to train each week, how you progress to eventually being able to run that marathon, how you need to eat, how often you should eat, what you should eat and how you will need to up your calorie intake to cope with the amount of training that you will be doing.
The same applies if you want to lose 20 pounds, how are you going to get there? Don’t just say that I want to lose 20 pounds this year, set yourself weekly, monthly goals and an exact time frame of when you want to achieve your weight loss by. How many times each week are you going to workout, what program are you going to use, obviously your now shouting The Flat Stomach Solution, in that case you would definitely have hit your weight loss goal within 12 weeks….
Can you see what I’m saying here, planning and setting yourself SMART goals is the way that you are going to achieve your goals.
My suggestion to you now is choose 5-10 New Year’s resolutions that are achievable and start planning how you’re going to achieve them. Take it individual one and write a detailed plan of action.
Using the SMART system to achieve your goals can work in every area of your life.
Don’t wait for life to happen, chase it!
Here's to an amazing new year, may it be filled with happiness, success and love.
