Are you ready for it?  You wouldn't be here it you weren't!  We've collected these top five secrets to help you triumph to your own victory.

Shift your mindset.

With over 20 years of experience as a health care clinician, I can sincerely tell you that one of the major impacts to battling for your health is your mind set.  If you believe that you can do it, your perseverance and persistence can help you thrive toward many victories!  You will overcome obstacles, you will fight battles, and you will accomplish greater goals.     

While this may or may not be a health situation for you, it is all relevant to adjusting your thoughts, believing in yourself and in own your power.  No matter the goal(s), you are entering a new phase, recreating your mind and your body.  You are setting goals to achieve and then progressing toward them.  That is so exciting!

So, whether you just getting out of bed, planning to run a marathon, or intend to start your own business - you must have your head in the game.  Key word here is must.  So don't let those little sneaky thoughts come in a crush what you've got going!  Because YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.  Final answer.

Here are more simple ideas to begin with:

• Listen to your favorite motivational podcast while going for a walk.
• Read our recent blog post on the Mental Health Benefits of Exercise.
• Find a friend or accountability partner.
• Join a social media group for positive vibes and encouragement.
• Video yourself and your progress so you have a documentary. Speaking it aloud is the ultimate conviction of dedication!

One last thing on this first secret- but it is extra important!  If you have not done so already, READ THIS BOOK.  It will change your life- seriously!

Make SMART Goals for Best Results.

To make goals that are focused and achievable, they need to be S.M.A.R.T., which is an acronym that typically means:

• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Realistic
• Time-limited

        Make goals for a short term time frame (one week, one month, 90 days, etc.) and then picture what you would like to achieve in one year.  Get clear about each of them using the SMART method.

        Be forgiving and listen to yourself, but don’t make excuses.  Plan to give yourself a reward to recognize what you have accomplished within your designated goal timing. 

You will know what you are working toward and that 'NAILED IT!' feeling is oh. so. GOOD.

Write It Down.

Each of these recommendations are equally important if you want to be the boss and hit your targets.  Once you have your mindset aligned and your goals established, write them down.  

Keep a journal, notepad, or calendar- or all three!  The theme here is to get clear so that you know what to do, how to do it, and when to do it.

Writing your goals down is also a means to hold yourself accountable and view your progress.  Keep your information nearby, journal, put notes on your mirror, or anything else that has you keeping it real with yourself.  

These are no doubt our favorites on amazon for goal planning and execution:

• Convenient, organized and colorful goal setting planner
• This 90-Day Law of Attraction Life and Goal Planner, Manifestation
• For diet and weight loss, this candid approached journal is a #1 Best Seller, and is super fun (with a side of motivational sass!) and budget-friendly!

Keep It Simple.

Seriously, don’t over complicate things.  Life is too short for that.  Keep your goals in mind and the steps needed to get there. 

Next to the previous book must-have, this concept is best described in a multiple best seller book that we love.  Check it out on amazon. 

Be consistent and keep it simple.  In being true to the 'simple' topic, that is all.

START NOW.  Take Action.

For the love of yourself and the universe, don’t wait any longer.  Start today.  Like right now is best (after you finish reading- wink!).

Decide on the core of your motivation and keep it at your heart.  This is what will get you into action each day. 

Why is this important for me?  Why should I keep going?

Dig deep.  Stop and listen to your answers.  Be still, meditate on it if you’d like.  Be specific and truly understand WHY you have to stay focused and then do so.

Get inspired and then get GOING! 

This also converts back to the first four on our list.  If it is simple, it doesn’t feel so big and it is achievable.  If you have a timeline, then you have a guideline to follow.  If your mind is settled on your target, you know where you’re headed.  They are all amazingly intertwined for your ultimate execution!

Conclusion.

You will not regret dedicating yourself to you, pinky promise!  You will astound your mind, body, and spirit! 

You will begin to have an exhilarating impact on your daily life and the lives of others.  You will be your best YOU, which is who you are meant to be. 

Now GO GET IT, Boss.
