CREATING YOUR GOALS

We all want Great Legs. And Great Legs always start with you deciding that you want them and creating certain goals that will get you there.

Creating your goals might seem simple, but if you find yourself quite often losing track of your goals or never accomplishing them, then it’s time to ask yourself:

“What can I do to stop this pattern of failure?”

The answer might be that you are not specific enough, or maybe not positive enough in creating your goals. Let me show you how you can create goals that will lead you to success .


ARTICLE OF THE MONTH

This month I would like to share with you an excellent article written by one of my favorite success coaches, Jack Canfield.

Decide What You Want by Jack Canfield

In order to get what you want, you must first decide what you want. Most people really foul up at this crucial first step because they simply can’t see how it’s possible to get what they want — so they don’t even let themselves want it.

Don’t sabotage yourself that way!

What scientists now know about how the brain works is that you must first decide WHAT you want, before your brain can figure out HOW to get it. Once you lock-in your desires, your mind and the universe can step in.

Are you ready to get started?

Be Willing to Dream BIG Dreams

As soon as you commit to a big dream and really go after it, your subconscious creative mind will come up with big ideas to make it happen. You’ll start attracting the people, resources, and opportunities you need into your life to make your dream come true. Big dreams not only inspire you, they compel others to want to play big, too.

Set Goals That Will Stretch You

Another value in giving yourself permission to go after the big dreams is that big dreams require you to grow in order to achieve them. In fact, in the long run, that is the greatest benefit you will receive from pursuing your dreams — not so much the outer trappings of fulfilling the dream (an expensive car, impressive house, loads of money and philanthropic opportunities), but who you become in the process.

As I’ve seen many times over, the outer symbols of success can all be easily lost. Houses burn down, companies go bankrupt, relationships end, cars get old, bodies age and fame wanes, but who you are, what you have learned, and the new skills you have developed never go away. These are the true prizes of success. Motivational philosopher, Jim Rohn advises that “You should set a goal big enough that in the process of achieving it, you become someone worth becoming.”

Service to Others

Something else you’ll discover is that when your dreams include service to others — accomplishing something that contributes to others — it also accelerates the accomplishment of that goal. People want to be part of something that contributes and makes a difference.

Turn Your Dreams into Goals and Objectives

Once you are clear about what you want, you must turn each item into a measurable objective. By measurable, I mean measurable in space and time — how much and by when. For instance, if you were to tell me that you wanted more money, I might pull out a dollar and give it to you, but you would probably protest, saying “No, I meant a lot more money — like $20,000!” Well, how am I supposed to know unless you tell me?

Similarly, your boss, your friends, your spouse, your brain — God, the Universe — can’t figure out what you want unless you tell them specifically what it is. What do you want — exactly — and when do you want it by?

Write Your Goals Down

Write your goals down in detail, and read your list of goals every day. This will keep your subconscious mind focused on what you want. For an even more powerful approach, close your eyes and focus on each goal and ask yourself, "What is one thing I could do today to move toward the achievement of this goal?" Write down your answers and take those actions.

I recommend writing down a minimum of 3 goals in each of the following 7 areas:

1. Financial Goals

2. Career/Business Goals

3. Free Time/Family Time

4. Health/Appearance Goals

5. Relationship Goals

6. Personal Growth

7. Making a Difference

To help your reticular activating system begin finding YOUR wants in unexpected places, take time now to decide what you want and start writing!

ACTIVITY OF THE MONTH

Ice skating is a perfect winter time pastime. Not only it will give your legs a good workout, but it’s also a lot of fun, especially if you have kids.

An average woman will burn about 500 calories in an hour of ice skating.


SUPER FOOD OF THE MONTH

Tibetan Goji Berries

These little berries are truly the super food for Great Legs and body. They are packed with vitamins and antioxidants.

The contain:

  • 500 times more vitamin C per ounce than oranges
  • more beta carotene than carrots
  • vitamins B1, B2, B6, and E
  • selenium and germanium
  • 18 amino acids
  • 21 trace minerals
  • linoleic acid

Goji berries grow in the wild of Tibet . You can purchase them on the net, but beware of buying Chinese Wolfberries which are not the same as Goji.

The Goji berry is a deep-red, dried fruit about raisin size. It tastes like a cross between a cranberry and a cherry and is very sweet.

A good daily intake of Goji berries is 10-30 grams (a small handful). They may be used as snacks or mixed with recipes or smoothies like other dried fruits.

They have a wide range of health benefits and are considered the#1 anti-aging food in the world! What does that mean? The Goji Berries have the capacity to absorb more damaging free radicals from our body, than any other food.

So for healthy skin and body have some Goji. Navitas Naturals Sun Dried Authentic Tibetan Goji Berries, 16-Ounce Pouch


QUOTE OF THE MONTH

This shall be my parting word: Know what you want to do-then do it. Make straight for your goal and go undefeated in spirit to the end. Ernestine Schumann-Heink


TIP OF THE MONTH

Do you have scars that you’d like to see minimized? Try onion extract, allium cepa in a gel form, to see your scars diminish in 8 weeks.


UNTIL NEXT TIME….

Remember to start off your year right and make a commitment to get your legs and the rest of you in shape.

And that does not only mean physical shape! Keep positive attitude and the rest will follow!
