Fitness Goal Secrets - Revealed Here
Before discussing Fitness Goal Secrets, let me ask you something:
Have you ever find yourself wandering around aimlessly?
You're doing stuff. You know what your goal is, but you're still
not getting anywhere near your target.
How can that be?
I know what I want. I'm doing the things I need to do to get me
there. So what's wrong? Why is my goal still out of reach?
Discover how to bring your goals within your grasp through these
fitness goal secrets --
Goals are a funny thing that many people disagree with. Maybe
some people don't see a point in having a goal. Maybe they've
set goals before and they didn't pan out. Maybe setting a goal
gives them the impression that just by doing so, you'll
succeed... whereas they realize that this isn't the case.
As far as a lot of people are concerned, it doesn't work! They
don't realise what their fitness goal secrets are.
And do you know what?
They're right!
The thing is -- they're wrong too:-)
Your Fitness Goal Secrets, or deciding what you're goal should
be, is through feelings. All too often, we feel with our heads.
Impossible, right?
Your goal should come from your heart, no matter how impossible
it me seem, and not your head. Yes, you should use your head
too. But only to help you work out the particulars of how to get
there. This is a major key in realizing your fitness goals.
Your Fitness Goal Secrets Revealed: If you can't feel the
emotions running wild at the thought of achieving your goal,
then that goal isn't right for you! Don't think logically about
you goal in the first place. What is it you want?
What get your heart racing, your blood boiling, keeps you awake
at night and makes your palms sweaty... at the mere thoughts of
achieving something? That is one of the key fitness goal secrets.
Is it to build muscle beyond your wildest dreams?
Maybe you want to run a marathon, but never ran more that a
couple of miles straight. Maybe it's to make money to get you
out of your debts. Or could it be getting a degree, even though
you're not the studious type?
That's what you want in your heart... a feeling that tells you
that you must follow it, even though it seems impossible. This
is where the head usually interferes.
The head usually tells you that YOU could never achieve that
muscle. It tells you that YOU can never complete a marathon...
it's impossible. It tells you that people like YOU will never
make money... it's not meant to be. It tells you that YOU'RE not
clever enough to ever reach any academic goal.
Essentially, it tells you lies.
Your decisions are based on your experiences throughout your
life. All experiences, good and bad, are deposited into you're
mind's banks. When you come across a situation that seems
familiar, or relative to a past experience, you mind tells you --
"Watch Out!".
Then it concocts stories that are designed to frighten or
unnerve you. So you decide --
"this isn't for me!"
And Quit -- before you even start.
Recognize when that little voice in your head tells you that
this isn't right for you. Tell that voice -- "Thanks for your
input pal, but no thanks." This is an important part of
your
fitness goal secrets.
Once you have chosen your goal, and you feel excited, you have
another two-step to do in this process. These are vital steps
and are the very steps that most people leave out.
Step 1 - A Decisive Goal.
Yep, you thought you had your ideal goal in mind. and yet you
did. But you need to make it clear. For example:
If you want a new sports car, but you don't know what make or
model you want, what will happen?
Sure, you'll get your car. But chances are, you get any old car.
How can this be?
There are millions of cars out there. There are more ordinary
cars, than sports cars. So the chances are that you'll end up
with an ordinary car because your goal wasn't clear. Your
ordinary car may have a spoiler on it and a set of sports
wheels. But it's still an ordinary car.
How do you get your sports car, if that is your goal?
Details!
Ok, so you want a sports car. What type? What make and model?
What year should it be. What size engine should it have? What
color should it be? How should it sound? What mileage is
acceptable on the clock? Should it be new or used? By what exact
date do you want to own this car by?
Details, details, details.
So you want bigger muscle. Is it your biceps? Or do you want
bigger muscle in your legs, chest, back, triceps, etc.? Exactly
how much bigger do you want to be? How well defined do you want
your muscle to be. When do you want to have achieved this goal
by?
The same principle applies to any goal, even if it's to become
world champion at tiddlywinks.
Step 2 - A Clear Goal.
Now that you have chosen your goal, in step one above, it's time
to make it clear in your mind. Yes I know I said that you
shouldn't let your head rule your heart. But what you should do
is follow your passion and desires. Then use your head to
logically bring about those desires, even though it may be
battling with you.
In your mind I want you to see your goal as exactly as you want
it, with all the glorious detail. At the same time I want your
emotions to run wild. Feel what it would be like to achieve this
goal. Would you feel on top of the world? Are you on a high just
thinking about it?
As you feel it, keep looking at it in your mind's eye. Combine
the power of both thought and emotion to feed your desire. The
more you feed your desire, the closer to you goal you will
get... provided you follow that with action.
Do this on a daily basis. Certainly first thing each morning and
last thing at night. And numerous times in between where you
can. It can be done anywhere.
Who's going to know?
To summarize, decide what your goal is. Not through your head,
but with your heart. Emotion is the key. Make your goal as
detailed as possible. The ore detail there is, the better. Now
see it in your mind. It must be a clear goal. Combining the
power of emotion and the emotion of desire, you will be fired up
to take the appropriate action to get you there.
