Resolution Tip number 1….Know EXACTLY what you want to achieve.
I’d like you to get really specific with your goal setting this year.
Read the following two scenarios and try to guess which woman reached her goal.
Woman #1, “Sabrina I would like to be healthier and more fit. I want to lose some weight this year.”
Woman #2, “Sabrina I was a size 8 two years ago now I’m a size 12. I intend to get back into those size 8 pants that are still sitting in my closet. In 4 months I WILL be prancing around in my skinny jeans again.”
In case you’re not sure which woman accomplished her goal, I’ll give you a hint….It was the woman who:
- Set a very specific goal (size 8 in 4 months)
- Made the goal measurable (if the pants fit she accomplished the goal)
- Painted a mental picture of herself accomplishing that goal (prancing around in the skinny jeans)
- Set a time frame for accomplishing her goal (4 months)
- Was confident in reaching her goal (I WILL be prancing)
She reached that goal ahead of time! And, to this day, is still prancing around in her skinny jeans.
