4 Ways to Stay Commited!

Hi Gorgeous!

I have been wondering how long each of us will be motivated to achieve those goals that we all  wrote down. As life gets back in full swing, the children are back in school, work is becoming more hectic and our plates are quickly filling  up with things to do what keeps us from throwing in the towel? The question is how do we stay focused on what we want to achieve this year?

 Here Are 4 Things To Try!



WEIGHT LOSS JARS

 

For those of you who are serious the weight loss jars are perfect for you. All you need are two nice glass jars that you can see through. Label one pounds to loose, and the other pounds lost. Fill with the number of marbles of the pounds that you want to loose. As you loose the weight transfer the marbles over to the other jar until their are no more marbles. This is a great way to see your hard work paying off.

STICKY NOTES

 Do not underestimate the power of a sticky note. Try these for the small goals that you want to fit in each day such as drinking more water, taking multivitamin, or working on your business plan for 30 minutes. You can even write motivational quotes on them to get you moving. Place them in places that you often go such as your bathroom mirror, or your car dashboard.

ACCOUNTABILITY BUDDIES

Accountability buddies are awesome. I can attest to the power of telling someone your goals and them being there to motivate you on those days when you have nothing left to give. For some reason just knowing someone understands how you feel, yet they also know where you are trying to go it just gives you that burst of energy to finish. Grab a friend, inform them of  your goal and what you need from them as an accountability buddy. Maybe you need them go give you some encouraging words when you are down, or may a kick in the butt when you are being stubborn. Make sure you choose people that you trust and who you love and respect.

PICTURES

 

 

Find a picture that accurately represents your goal and place it on the fridge on your desk or any other place that will help you keep your goal at the for front of your mind.

It's 2013: How Are You Committed To Doing The Work?

Wow, I have been so excited for the new year to begin. I am ready for a fresh start. Ready to do the work required to reach my goals big and small. I know all of you have made resolutions, made vision boards, written goals for the year etc. and have spent the first week of the new year shedding off all the of the things you want to leave behind in 2012. Well I am here to tell you resolutions, goals, and vision boards are all nice but as the good book say's faith with out works is dead. To get the life you want, to make the changes that you would like to see in the new year; you have to put in some sort of effort. Let me put it to you this way, the weight is not going to come off unless you make the effort to eat right and exercise. The book is not going to be written if you do not commit to sacrificing some of your Saturday mornings to working on it. I mean we can all look at our goal lists all we want but it takes actions to see results.

Here are three of of my biggest goals for the year!

1. Loose 102 lbs.

2. Make a comfortable life for myself in Houston

3. Get closer to God

Of course I have many more. I have not left one stone un-turned. I plan to live this blessing called life to the fullest, and to do that I must seek the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. That is my prayer for
2013.

 

So here is how I am taking action:

1. I am starting the Pink Method, a weight-loss program designed specifically for women, tomorrow. Look out for my YouTube video on the Pink Method, later this week.

2. I have a book list that will help me learn techniques and tips to make the changes that I seek to make. Right now I am finishing up Re-position Yourself: Living Your Life Without Limits, by T.D. Jakes. 

Here are some other books on my list for the year:

Success Principles by Jack Canfield

The Secret by Rhonda Byrne

Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-free Productivity by David Allen

Awaken the Giant Within: How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical, and Financial Destiny! by Anthony Robbins

3. I will be joining @theluke-humble, where I will be connecting with God each Sunday and Wednesday nights, while also participating in the churches read the bible in a year campaign.

So with all of that being said, how are you doing the work? Tweet or instagram a picture of your doing the work to @shemogul with #shemoguldoingthework! I am excited to see what you are doing to make 2013 better than 2012 could ever be.

Ciao,
