\"you<\/p>\n

I feel goal setting<\/a> is extremely important, more important than dieting\/exercise in my personal opinion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that our aim is too low and we make it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here I’ve strung together the goal tips, tricks and advice in an easy step-by-step guide.\u00a0 Remember, this can be used for other things, not just fat loss, but to get that new car or house or anything you want.\u00a0 Anything is achievable with the right goal plan, especially weight loss.<\/p>\n

11 Steps to Create Powerful Goals:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Set specific goals \u2013 \u201cI will lose 3 pounds by next Tuesday\u201d<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Set measurable goals \u2013 Learn how to measure what you lose, not only by your\u00a0 weight.\u00a0But, by other means such as a skin fold test.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Set big goals \u2013 If your goal isn\u2019t scary or exciting it\u2019s too low<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Set a realistic deadline \u2013 \u201cI will lose 1 stone (14 pounds) in 2 months\u201d<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Set long term and short term goals \u2013 For example – 2 years time and 3 months time<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0Establish emotional reasons why you want to achieve your goals \u2013 \u201cWhy is reaching my goal important?\u201d<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0Make sure your goals aren\u2019t conflicting; rank them in order of importance.\u00a0 – A for Urgent and Important, B for just Important, C for things you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0Write out an extensive goal list in forms of affirmations \u2013 3 things affirmations need to be: 1. They must be personal \u201cI will\u201d, \u201cI am\u201d. 2. They must be written in present tense as if you have already completed the goal and you believe you already have. 3. The goals must be positive \u2013 \u201cI will lose 2 stones (28 pounds) by my birthday and I will be very happy\u201d<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0Read your affirmation goal list at least twice a day.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0Read your goals with faith \u2013 Act as if you\u2019ve already completed them and see images of yourself with the goals achieved.<\/p>\n

11.\u00a0As you read your affirmations, mentally visualize them as already achieved, since the brain cannot tell if the event is real or visualized.<\/p>\n

This brings us to the end of this short article on weight loss goals. I hope you\u2019ve enjoyed reading and have picked up useful information on how you can make your goals become a reality. Good luck.<\/p>\n
