It’s January again. It’s that time of year when more than half of us are setting and implementing New Year’s resolutions for 2013.
I’ve set goals for myself. Both personal and professional. And I’m sure you have too.
But despite how motivated you probably feel right now, the stats clearly show that only a tiny minority of New Year goal setters actually succeed.
The rest fail.
So, a very smart question to ask yourself would be:
What do successful goal setters do different that make them succeed?
How is it that some people manage to work out regularly, week in week out, year after year, and do it with a smile on their face? Are they just superhuman? Nope. Far from it. They have just tapped into something that most people haven’t.
All humans (and this includes you) have one big weakness, and they use this weakness to their advantage. Here it is:
We humans are prone to addiction, but we can all learn to tap this resource
and use its power to fuel our motivation to work out consistently.
Let me get one thing straight. To push against the sub-standard status-quo of food and eating these days you need to be motivated. And when I say motivated I mean REAL motivation.
Anyone can get themselves pumped up for 10 minutes, an hour or a day. But this fluffy sporadic new-age motivation can only get you so far. When it comes to true change that lasts you need the slow-burn sustainable motivation that will get you through all those inevitable days when your “monkey-brain” is screaming for a tub of chocolate ice-cream, a big spoon, a comfortable couch and a series box-set of Lost.
