Do you get exhausted or do you have high blood pressure? Or, how about strength, do you feel weak or sluggish? What about your joints, do they ache?

1. Write A List
Being honest with yourself is caring for yourself. Take an honest approach by making a list of what you want to change. Do not think of this as listing your negative traits. Instead focus on the positives because positive outlook is motivations own fuel. I want to lose weight, I want to increase muscle , I want to feel better about myself and overall all health. These are all positives approaches that help the mind to seek for the next step.
2. Prioritize The List
This is important if you have a big list. Having a big list of positive changes is good but focus is even better. Take time to prioritize with a numerical list starting with the most important. They are all important so don’t think of this as not achieving all of them just think of it as a domino effect to fit success. Typically, the most crucial change will greatly affect the entire list!
3. Time Line
The essence of time is in the grasp of your hand. Making time is an option, having a timeline to reach your goals give you direction, motivation and structured output that aligns you to reach your goals.

5. The Essence of Goals
Goals aren’t real until you know what you are shooting for, when you plan to arrive and arrival time is the goal! Goals are meant to be reached so use these tips to create your fitness goals and keep motivated through these accountable steps.
