Focus On Goals Not On Obstacles

Sometimes we are so focused on the obstacles to achieving our goals that there is no room left in our minds to focus on actually achieving those goals.

Think of a really important goal that you would like to achieve. How much of your mind is dedicated to the actual achievement of that goal? How much of your mind is focused on all the obstacles that could prevent you from achieving it. If you are too focused on the obstacles you may never get started on the journey towards achieving what you want most. If you focus on your destination and how great you will feel when you get there, you'll be much more motivated to start and continue the journey.

Try to catch yourself whenever you notice you're thinking negatively about your goal. Be vigilant for the times when your mind tries to seduce you into giving up by making you anxious about how difficult it will be.  At times like this say something to yourself that will make you snap out of that negative train of thought. Tell yourself if I keep going I'll get there. Tell yourself, a 1000-mile journey begins with a single step. Tell yourself, winners never quit, and quitters never win. You're persistent positive and optimistic focus on the achievement of your goal is one of the key ingredients that will help you achieve it.

Visualize Your Path

Stay focused on your goals. Picture the end result and all the satisfaction it will bring.

Focus On Your Goals

Focus on where you want to be, not where you were, or where you are.

It's Possible

Make Time For Yourself

Get your priorities right; by making time to nurture yourself, you make yourself strong enough to take care of others.

Focus On Losing Just 1lb

It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward. -Old Chinese Proverb quotes

The Scales Are Not The Only Way To Measure Progress

The scales cannot show ALL your progress. Sometimes while we are doing the wrong thing we are also in other areas doing the right thing. For example, If you drank more water today but still have a daily chocolate habit, the scales won't show that you're drinking more water. If you used to be really pessimistic about your ability to lose weight and today you've got a sudden burst of positive self-belief, the scales won't show this change in mindset. So notice, and take note of (perhaps in a journal) the many areas where you're making  positive changes towards a healthier, fitter you.

Do Something TODAY!

Your future body depends on what you do TODAY because today is the only day in which you can take the actions  that will get you to your future goals.

Focus On What's Going Right

If you're stuck on a weight loss plateau you can prevent discouragement by focusing on what you're doing right. You might be drinking more water, cooking healthier meals, eating more fruits and veggies, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, etc. Focus on what you're doing right and this could help you find the encouragement and motivation to do more.

Focus On One Goal At A Time

Don't tackle too many fitness and weight loss goals at once, or you are likely to go off track. Focus on one or two until you have mastered them, then move on to the next ones on your list. As well as not focusing on two many, make sure the ones you do focus on are not too challenging, slow and steady, a marathon not a sprint will get you there eventually.

Focus On Where You Want To Go

Focus on where you want to go, not on where you fear to be.

Focus On Fitness

Focus on fitness and weight loss will take care of itself.

This has been my experience. When I first began my weight loss journey my focus was entirely on weight loss, but once I lost 30lbs I realised the only way to continue losing weight, without starving myself or being obsessively focused on calories would be to focus on fitness as a lifestyle. This new focus is helping me shed the extra pounds and it will do the same for you.

Focus On Your Goal

Finding ways to stay focused on your weight loss and fitness goals is one of the most important things you can do to make sure you achieve them. The initial excitement, enthusiasm and momentum that comes when we first decide on a goal can all too easily wane and disappear if we don't implement strategies to help us stay on track.The most successful slimmers are the most focused slimmers.
