Take serious heed of the heading of this article. This simple concept is what separates those who achieve success from those that spend their lives striving for it. Have you ever set out on a journey, knowing your starting point and desired destination but didn’t bother planning the journey, just drove away with a vague idea of how to get there and? Of course you had a plan and probably new each step of the way. You sat in your car with a plan of how to get to your final destination.
Have you ever had a work deadline/target and not set a plan of action to get there? Have you ever had a professional goal and just hoped you would get there? Have you ever turned up for an exam without any study and expected to get an A? Then why do people treat getting in shape so differently?
Why is it that most people make the decision, typically in January or September or leading up to a holiday that they are going to get in shape but never design a realistic or structured plan. What happens? They go from not exercising to exercising every day, start a miracle detox and/or latest miracle diet. The fact is that you cannot just switch from bad living to good living at the click of your fingers. It has to be gradual and habit forming. This is why you need to plan and the key is being realistic. You need to start with the end in mind and work backwards to your starting point.
Decide what is the realistic target you can have in that time frame. Then if for example it is a 12 week period, divide it up into 2 week targets which are all stepping stones towards your end result. This way you are getting closer but most importantly you are building up one success after another and this is critical for any achievement.
Plan when you are going to exercise and how many days per week. What exercise are you going to do? What nutrition plan are you going to use? Are you going to use any nutritional supplements? What obstacles may you encounter and how will you leapfrog them?
It is great to make the decision to take MASSIVE ACTION but don’t ruin it by failing to take 15-30 minutes to plan your journey.
