Once we have set our eyes on the prize, there will come moments when we will let our guard down and succumb to the enemy of all mankind. Can anyone tell me what this enemy that we all face is? The answer is procrastination. There are so many reasons that we can come up with on why we do not need to exercise. The one interesting point to note on is that we tend to believe in these excuses that we come with, but when you take a good look at these notions, they are really false! The real eye opener to achieving success is by controlling what you think and the type of attitude that you possess. When you overwork your body, you are setting yourself up for failure because that's when excuses come up the most. In this article, I will share some insights on you can avoid coming up with any kind of excuses and to help you finish what you have started:
1. Get a support group going: This can be fellow coworkers, classmates, roommates, friends, relatives and close family members. Be sure to let them know what you fitness goals are. It would be very awkward if you start a diet or fitness program and your family decides to cook a huge dinner for you because of recent achievement or a birthday.
2. Once you have your goals written down and you are ready to fulfill, find a fitness partner that will be willing to do workouts with you. The main advantage to this method is that you can start a friendly competition where you can push yourselves to the limit or even beyond.
3. Writing down your goals will help you to make mental changes that will benefit your life. Make a note of times when you have the most energy and when you are feeling sluggish.
