Your Health and Fitness Success Guaranteed
The one thing that will guarantee your success in diet, fitness and health for 2011.
Hi,
Are You Willing To Do The Number One Thing That Will Guarantee Success In Your Diet, Fitness and Health Programs for 2011?
This one thing always works. It actually works for anything you attempt to do – it doesn’t just have to be with your health or fitness.
Yet, it is something that almost no one does.
Part of it is because they aren’t even aware of it. Part of that is because they aren’t aware of how important this is. Part of it is because they don’t understand how to do it.
So what is this thing?
It is commitment.
So now you are aware of it.
It is everything.
So now you are aware of how important it is.
We will get into how to do it later.
So exactly what is commitment?
Commitment has many different definitions. Here are a few that I like:
The trait of sincere and steadfast fixity of purpose.
The act of binding yourself to a course of action.
Sticking with something long after the mood you have said it in has left you… by jojo 11 Sep 20, 2008
Commitment is what transforms the promise into reality.
It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions.
And the actions which speak louder than the words.
It is making the time when there is none.
Coming through time after time after time, year after year after year.
Commitment is the stuff character is made of.
It is the power to change the face of things.
It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism…by Ashbash Jan 13, 2005
Wow. I know that is a lot of definitions.
But, let’s look at just a couple of them.
First of all it is an act. It is something you do.
It is not something you just do by rote – like brushing your teeth or breathing – it is something you have to think about and then act upon.
So start out your commitment by deciding what it is you really, really want. You have to want this more than anything.
You can not commit to something that you really don’t care about. Remember it is something that you really, really want.
The operative word here is “you”. If it is something that someone else wants for you, that will never work.
If you spouse wants you to lose weight and you are only lukewarm to the idea, it is not going to happen. Oh sure, you might make some pathetic attempts, but they won’t stick.
You must be the one that really, really wants it.
Since we are talking about your health let’s say you want to lose 25 pounds and “tone” your muscles (there is really no such thing as toning your muscles, but since it is a common term I am going to use it here).
You know that the 25 pounds aren’t just going to fall off by themselves. You are actually going to have to do something.
The first step is figuring out what that something is.
Now maybe that something is eating less food or eating healthier foods or starting an exercise program. Or a combination of the above.
Now you know what you really, really want to do. That is to lose 25 pounds.
And you know what you have to do. That is to eat healthier foods and exercise more.
This is actually the easy part.
Now comes the commitment. Now comes the time to act upon what your want to do and have to do.
You have taken the first step. Remember the saying that the first step is the hardest? Well, that is a lie.
The first step is actually the easiest.
The next post we will get into the harder part and the second part of commitment to your diet, fitness and health program for 2011.
