1. Set realistic goals
Some goals are unrealistic and will only set you up for disappointment like, I want to lose 10kg in a month. The problem is when you don’t achieve them you feel unmotivated. Setting smaller, more realistic goals is much more effective and will help you to stay on track and reach your finish line. When you set goals in stages and celebrate every positive step you take along the way, you’re more likely to reach your ultimate goal.
2. Write them down
Accountability is key to success. Write down your goals and post them somewhere visible in your home. Reading your goals everyday will motivate you to stay on track and remind you to keep going.
3. Surround yourself with positive people
It’s easier to achieve your goals with support from others. Start training with a friend or get your kids or partner involved in your healthy cooking. Surrounding yourself with loved ones will make you feel as though you’re not alone and you’ll have a great time doing it.
