It is at this time of year again. Time to set new goals, losing the extra Pound or two of experience in the holidays. How many times we have to do, and again only to fail. Funny thing is the significance of the term “Resolution” is really “to resolve again.” Isn’t that just what we do each year? Decided to solve the problems of our weight again?
This year instead, let’s set the taking of decisions SMARTER.
One of the best methods of achieving objectives is a SMART formula. Here is one variation on the formula smart objectives.
S-be specific-to be clear, precise and specific, setting goals. If you want to lose 10 pounds, set this objective. It is not enough to say, I’m going to lose weight. If you lose the pounds, then you have met this goal, but it isn’t really where I want to be.
M-measurable goals-set objectives with a summary and the measurement results. For example, using measurable units like lbs, the body fat percentage, inches, and the sizes of the clothes. Don’t forget to give the other objectives of health focused on how to reduce cholesterol or blood pressure.
A-liability-liability for yourself. Plot a graph, keep a log or use the online journal. Even greater involvement with friends and family as partners. If someone is assigned, you’re more likely to succeed.
R-realistic goals-make sure that there are many people who want to lose 100 pounds and they look like a body builder, but realistically, it may not happen. If you lose 2 pounds of fat per week, you’re doing fantastic. Realistic goals are easier to protect incentives to achieve success.
T-time bound-set time limits. The terms are very motivating. If not, you can set time limits, is the lack of urgency. Set short-and long-term objectives. Identified as an objective to avoid fast food per week. Set a goal for the percentage of lost over a period of one month. Just to be sure that the targets are realistic.
E-emotional-emotions are in the system disks. Focus on what is most important for you after you achieve this objective. How are you going to feel after dropping 20 pounds? What would your life look like then?
R-review them often-keep you in front of the set objectives. Focus on reading or writing the assumptions each day. Repetition is the key to break the habits of the body re-programming.
The idea is a simple formula, which may be a new idea, but the principles make sense. The objective is highly desirable and stored at the front of the daily allows you focused and on fire. So eat right, stay focused, hard training and expect to succeed!
