This year has gone by fast and now we find ourselves in the last weeks of 2011. With a new year only days away, many of us will be putting new goals and resolutions in place for the upcoming year. What I constantly see is that too many people wait on implementing those new goals until it is too late, thus setting themselves up for failure.
The body can only go where the mind is willing to lead and who has control over the mind? You do, or at least you should. Meaning, we take control over what we want and where we want to go in life by our thoughts. With that being said, if we are going to make changes, set goals and change our life, why not start ramping up now? We can do this by choosing what we think about.
Years ago, I discovered that when I set a goal or want to make a substantial change in my life, I need to ramp up mentally. That is, weeks in advance, I purposefully start to look at things differently and start to think and focus on the changes I need to make in order to turn in the direction of my goals. This not only gives me mental readiness, it also strengthens me. This technique has made a world of difference for me in not only setting goals, but sticking with them, regardless of what tries to detour me.
People everywhere, from all walks of life, want to make changes. Changes in their weight, jobs, relationships and income are the most common. The thing that occurs all too often is a lack of follow-through. When it gets hard, or inconvenient, the goal that was once the answer now becomes the problem, so people quit. If this is you, I am not trying to make you feel bad, I only want to help you break through this roadblock and find success in achieving what you want.
Changing our daily routine and habits is not easy, not for any of us. So, let’s get real with ourselves for a moment. Doing more of what did not work in the past will not make it work any better in the future. This is just a fact of life. Accept it and move on. There is no reason to keep spinning your wheels to only be disappointed with yourself down the road. Understand that something different must be implemented.
When you set your goals, do something that will support and encourage where you want to go. Like it was for me, maybe mentally ramping up could make all the difference. Begin to think about your goal. Study it and mentally bring it to your conscious thinking. Then, by the time you write the goal down (because that is critical with any goal) you are ahead of the game and are already committed, both in your heart and mind.
Take the next couple of weeks and think about what you really want to change. Maybe you feel like God is calling you in a certain direction and until now, you have been a little hesitant. Has it been on your mind to start a business? How about losing that last 20 lbs? Start now and mentally lay out a plan of what and how that will look like. Then, write it down.
Don't wait! Now is the time for action because, thoughts do become things.
Have a great Friday everyone, be blessed.
