New Years Resolution

http://www.braseltonmartialarts.com
Every new year we come up with a goal a resolution to change, stop, omit, or commit. I would say a large number of people say "this is the year I lose weight," or "this is the year I get fit and eat better."  To be successful you must have a specific goal. So your goal should sound like "I want to lose 50 pounds" or "I will exercise every day for 45 minutes". This will keep it real for you so it won't feel like it is an unrealistic goal or a dream goal that you won't ever reach or accomplish.
We all have good intentions to get things done and make a change for the better, but some of us lack the drive or have the support structure to reach our goals. Do not procrastinate! When you need to complete a task or something on a "To Do" list make it a To Done list! That should be one of your New Years Resolutions. Make it specific "I will respond to an email the minute I open it" or "I will start a project the day I get assigned to do it" or " the gym or program I just started I will follow through and go daily". This will help you reach your goals, with anything in life especially the very difficult task of losing weight.
So many people join a gym and go for the first month 1 to 2 days a week, if that. Excuses begin to invade our minds and sabotage our goals. You begin to have time issues, family commitments, or I'm just to tired I will go tomorrow syndrome. Tomorrow then turns to next week then that becomes next month and before you know it you are back to the next New Year making the same resolution you made last year saying this year I am going to lose a few pounds or diet and stick to it.  These are the people that lack that specific goal to be able to be successful. One must make the decision to work out or eat better and do it daily period.
Another idea to help you reach your goals is to invite a friend with similar goals then help each other reach them. Hold them to their commitment because they will hold you to yours!
This may be hard to hear because no one wants to be told they don't do it right. You must get past that and focus on your goals. That is what is important.
Because having a support system around you keeps the motivation to reach the goal you set for yourself. Cardio-kickboxing is a fun way to lose weight, get fit and helps to reduce stress. You will be amazed how fun and easy it is to just show up and have fun. The best days to come are the days you've had a bad day, you get to take out all the stress from the day on the bag and leave it on the mat! You go home happy and foget all that stress yo begin to live a happier and healthier life because you are reaching your goals!
Having a group around you with similar goals definitely helps the motivation, focus and drive. People helping each other to stay on track push each other to do well increases the chance that this is the year your
New Years Resolution will be a success.
