Tuesday's Momentum

Keep Moving!

Monday may have been a holiday and relaxation day for you because of the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. It is amazing what he did when you look at the history and legacy of his life. Take some time to review the history when you can.

Today is another day for you to use your desire to succeed and momentum that you have been building up. Have you set a date? This is a way to put it on your calendar and put a stake in the ground. That stake in the ground is your commitment to your goal.

Since this is the first month of the year, your resolutions are in full effect, right? That is fantastic. Keep in mind that many people abandon goals because they are too dang big. Whatever your goal is, if it is too big, concentrate on breaking it up into steps.

A goal that you can actually see is more powerful than a goal you write down on a checklist. Having a vision board is a great way to see your goal. The pictures motivate the creator of that board. Want to lose weight? Cut out a picture of a person with the body type that you can realistically attain. You can place pictures of your goals on this vision board and refer to them daily. Make sure you are visualizing you in the position, the body, the relationship, then home, and the car that you desire. Goals are attainable.

Tell someone that you are going to attain your goals. Announce your intentions to change your situation and achieve greatness will be a productive move for you. Making yourself accountable to your friends and family will be uncomfortable when you have to share your setbacks. However, when you do you will get feedback from your friends/family who have experienced the same thing and they will help you get back on track. They will celebrate with you when you hit milestones in your journey too. When you have the right people with you they will jump on board with you and join your journey of success.
