Changing Your Default Settings PtIII

We are still in the process of eliminating “new year’s resolutions", by making S.M.A.R.T.  goals. Doing a recap, the S is specific...be as detailed as possible as to what you are trying to accomplish. Referring to the loss of 20 lbs, the first thing that you need to do is get on the scale. The M is measurable...how are you going to track your progress? This is where you have to change your default setting. If, I take a big step or a small step, the combination of the 2 gets me closer to the goal. Remember this is the glue that keeps the momentum going.

Which leads us to the A… and no I am not talking about Atlanta. Where is the wealthiest place on earth? It’s not the US, Europe or Africa. It is the grave. Why I do say that? Look at all the unwritten songs, unwritten books, inventions, cures to diseases, unfilled dreams that never made into the earth for one reason. They never took ACTION, which is the A in the S.M.A.R.T. acronym. We can plan all day, and know what we want to do. Doing it another is another thing. How many of you went out last year and purchased a membership and by middle of the summer you were just donating money to the gym?  Or purchased it and never went. Going back to the loss of 20 lbs, you have the specifics….you have the measuring mechanism in place….but you have to action.  The 20 lbs will not just fall off by osmosis. Without action everything else will be null and void.  A plan without action is just some notes on a piece of paper.  STOP PROCRASTINATING!!!! Do not become a statistic to it.

Getting a gym membership is good, but remember it only works if you get up and go.
