In Goal Setting...

We must be mindful of the biggest thing that thwarts the completion of any goal:

When the pain of achieving our goal, becomes larger than...

The pain of the results we want.

That's why it is so important to create baby steps in our goal setting process.

By doing this, any pain that my come along the way of achieving our goal, doesn't overcome the pain of how bad we want it.

We are not wired to...

To remember pain...But we are wired to remember happiness.

Here's the deal...When we think back to a time when we had
pain, we cannot recreate the feeling, only remember the event.

Whereas when we think back to a times of happiness, we not only
remember the event, but we can recreate the feelings as well.

And when you really think about it, it is a brilliant system - block
out past pain and have happiness and the feelings to continue, even
after the event.

Some pain is inevitable, but being mindful of filling our lives with
happiness is the right thing to do..as it's the gift that keeps on
giving.

Ever start back exercising...

Only to find out that you started out doing too much, too soon?

We sometimes get ahead of ourselves, and the aches and pains of the
exercise serve as a demotivator to keep up our plan.

Usually time has passed since we were on an exercise program and we
tend to start were we left off...but as the saying goes, "we ain't what
we used to be" really speaks volumes when it comes to
our bodies.

You see, if we don't use it, we lose it, and with exercise we need to
start slowly, and over time we can gain it back.

Otherwise, we make every excuse in the world, not to go back to
exercising...when we start doing too much, too soon.
