New Year's Fitness Resolutions - How to SET Them? Part 3

 

The Power behind the Pen

I can not explain why writing your goals down is such a powerful exercise, but it is. I have experienced it first hand that when you write down your goals over and over again, transformations take place from the hand through the mind into the body. Sounds kind of weird doesnt it?

One day sitting in my office I happened to start writing on a piece of paper I am Mr. Michigan 1988. What started out once a day ended up being one hundred times in a day. For four months this went on all the way up to the day of my contest.

The day of my contest I was in the best shape of my life. A Coincidence? No way! The pen had convinced my body to achieve that goal I set out for. It is impossible to build a solid house on sand, it needs a foundation. Yes, this is a commitment, but if you dont want to commit yourself then this year will be another year of the same old stuff.

Writing your goals down can seem painful. You really are committing yourself. It boils down to asking yourself, How bad do you really want to feel better, look better, and change for good?

On the other hand, when you do write them down it gives you a sense of direction, and a deep feeling that for once you are on the right path. With this comes a much greater need and want to see it through. Writing goals down will not make the path any easier, but it very possibly will make it straighter.

Write your goals down as detailed as you can get. Then write the plan of action out as detailed as you can get. The more you can be precise the better of a chance you have of accomplishing your goals.

Never underestimate the power behind the pen!
