What gets you out of bed everyday? Do you spring up as soon as the alarm clock (or opportunity clock as Zig Ziglar calls it) goes off? Do you lie there for 10 minutes dreading the day ahead and wishing you were still asleep? Or do you hit snooze button, fall back asleep and grab as long as you can?
I believe you can tell a lot about a person and their habits by what they do first thing in the morning. I also believe that this can determine your chance of success when embarking on a fat loss regime.
The key to self motivation is something I like to call "the fire inside". If you get up straight away, with enthusiasm, and without hesitating, the chances are you're already on the road to being where you want to be.
If you are in the right frame of mind first thing in the morning as soon as you get up, the day seems to sail along a lot more smoother than it otherwise would have if you doze in and crumble about everything you have to do on that particular day.
Starting off the day in the right frame of mind is one of the things that will shape your positive mindset. Self Motivation will be something that will become natural for you each day.
The fire inside starts with doing the little things right. Once achieved, you cross them off your list and then turning them into bigger things along the way.
People have different reasons for their fitness regimes. Ranging from anything to fat loss, stress relief, sports performance to being the best parent they can possibly be. There has to be a reason to drive you to put in the hard work.
Whatever the goal, the one thing every successful person has is a piece of paper with their goals firmly written down.
The fire inside, or self motivation, will not let them just amble through life without one. It would be like driving in an unfamiliar town without a map. You would be wasting precious time.
How can anybody hope to achieve some vague goal when there is no concrete plan? It just simply will not happen.
So, what should you do? First step is to grab a pen and write down what you want to achieve.
It is okay to have 3-5 goals but you need to prioritise them so you have direction. Start with the most important thing to you and work your way down the list.
Your next step is to put the list somewhere prominent so that you can see it numerous times everyday.
You need to read and re-read this over and over again, so your subconscious mind knows exactly what your main focus is.
Finally, go ahead and put the steps into place to make it happen. Write down 3 of your goals now. Make 1 a short term goal and make 1 a long term goal. The other is up to you to decide.
Now you have to work out how am I going to make these goals happen? Write down your how to steps for each of your above goals.
The simple formula to make all this happen is the following three words.
See. Believe. Achieve
