Diet & Fitness Goal Setting - Setting a Goal For Your Diet & Fitness Results

If you fail to plan, plan to fail. Many, if not most people, have only a vague idea about their diet and fitness goals. They think setting a goal means setting yourself up for disappointment if it isn't reached. If that's what you think, think again!

There's a deep power behind making a definite plan. It's the difference between thinking about doing something, and thinking about the last time you actually DID something. Here's an example:

Think about brushing your teeth. Go ahead, I'll wait... Now, think about the LAST TIME you ACTUALLY brushed your teeth.

There's a major difference in how real it seems to you. Thinking generally about something leads to all kinds of tangents and stray thoughts. Thinking about the action you took in doing something tends to focus your mind on performance.

That's the power of a plan. You focus your mind on performance and achievement. By planning your actions, rather than thinking about getting "around to it", you energize yourself for action and performance.

This also means you're more likely to set reasonable goal points. By focusing on actual performance and action, you're less likely to pick "goals" that are just too much, too fast. By making a plan that works over a period of time, your plan becomes as realistic as your daily routine of brushing your teeth. No, really!

Even if you've never made a plan for your diet and fitness goals before, you can begin to see how setting a goal means thinking about yourself in an active way, not a passive one.
