If you have a $100.000.000 in
bank, drive new Lexus, look like a movie star and have a perfect health save yourself some time and do not read this article. This article is for people, who don't have all these things, but are planning on changing that slight inconvenience.So how do you change it?
Every January millions and millions of people decide to start better and healthier life. We plan to change so many things and set so many goals. "I will exercise at least three times a week", "I will spend more time with my family", "I will find a better job", "I will stop smoking" list goes on and on.
Now if you know anything about goal setting, you'll know that first thing you have to do is to write down your goals on a piece of paper. Then you have to decide step-by-step how you are going to achieve those goals and form a plan of action as detailed as possible. All you have to do just follow plan.
That's a great theory, which hardly happens in reality. In reality your enthusiasm and concentration lasts a couple of weeks and than everyday routine gets to you. You skip an exercise here, get frustrated and smoke a cigarette there, or start jumping from one goal to another and at end of year nothing ever gets done or achieved.
Why this theory alone doesn't work.
1. We often have so many goals it is hard to know where to start and how to proceed 2. We continually jump at different goals and as a result nothing gets done 3. It is hard to remember all goals 4. Enthusiasm and excitement wears off 5. We don't have enough time 6. We don't have enough will power to follow through
