Beer Belly Resolutions- Action
You have made up your mind to change your lifestyle (realization) and you have a plan of attack. You are now ready for the final mind-set phase, which is Action.
Nothing is accomplished unless you take action.
Results demand action; there isn’t an easier way to put it. The amazing thing is, ‘action’ is more powerful than merely being a step closer to the final result.
The actual process of accomplishing an act, no matter how small, triggers positive energy and reinforces the desired behavior. In other words, forcing yourself to take action re-trains your body and mind.
Some days the amount of energy you will be able to devote to health and fitness will be less than others. That is a normal reality of life. The beauty is, as long as you take a step in the right direction, no matter how small that step is, it will be something to be proud of and encourage you to do the same the next day.
It is through a series of consecutive positive actions that you manage to win over the mind. Eventually your actions will be larger and larger and so will the benefits.
What it comes down to is waking up each day and doing what most people aren’t willing to do; stop making excuses and take responsibility for your actions. You do this, and nothing can stop you from reaching your goals.
The Biggest Excuse
The biggest excuse people use in not accomplishing their goals is lack of time. Which is funny because the third biggest use of our time after working 8 hours a day and sleeping another 8 hours at night is watching television. Men on average spend 3 hours per day in front of the tube. Women are not far behind at 2 and a half.
If you can find enough time in a day to watch 3 hours of television then you can certainly find time to get in shape and accomplish your goals.
My guilty pleasure is Facebook. Sometimes I set out to do some early morning writing and before I know it I’m logged in, knee deep into someone else’s life. I call it the “Facebook trance” and I’m sure if they re-did the statistics on time wasters it would be up there on par with time spent watching television. Is it any wonder it has been nicknamed “Crackbook”?
Give yourself a smack the next time you catch yourself wasting time on other people’s lives.
Here’s how I stay focused:
I keep focused by asking myself the following questions. Is someone else’s life more important than my own? Is what I want to achieve really important to me? The small action steps needed to accomplish my goal do not seem that bad after all.
As the shoe company’s saying goes- take action and “just do it”. Everything else will fall into place.
