What is the key question to create inspiration right now towards any goal you have for yourself? Answer the question, "What Will This Goal Do for Me?"
It is also critical to have compelling reasons for your objectives. When you know why you want something, you create a force in your subconscious mind and a strong desire within you to take the actions necessary to achieve that goal.
In addition, you want to become familiar with the feelings that are associated with each of your goals. You want to feel this way as often as you can even before you reach your goal. When you feel like a champion, you do what champions do and therefore become a champion. In reality, if you feel like a champion, you've already won the game.
You are not only what you eat but you are also what you FEEL.
DIG DEEP
When you consider the benefits of each goal, ask yourself, "Is there a higher reason?" Keep repeating this question after each answer until you cannot go any higher.
What benefits will achieving my goal give to others?
How will my life be different after I reach this goal?
What does this goal do for me?
How will I feel on a daily basis after achieving this goal?
What new clothes will I be able to wear?
What new activities will I be able do?
How much more self-confident will I be?
You get the idea; you must get in there and pull out all of the wonderful things that will happen for you upon reaching this goal.
EXPERIENCE THE GREAT FEELINGS NOW
One of the benefits of the pursuit and completion of meaningful goals is how this makes you feel. Why wait until the goal is accomplished to feel this way?
Your completed goals may make you begin to feel healthy, vibrant, alive, happy, young, strong, sexy, athletic, and so forth. You can experience these feelings now as you exercise, eat right, and make progress. Walk and talk as if you already feel this way and are this person. You get what you feel. Don't be surprised if you start to notice a big change on the outside when you change your inside.
You must be the person first (through feeling) to have the body you want.
TIP: Just ask yourself, "How would it feel to have this goal accomplished right now?" Then sit, stand, or move with that feeling.
Personally, I think back to past victories and times when I felt unstoppable. Bringing up images and feelings of the past is a fun way to feel confident and strong right now. You can visualize images that create these feelings or symbols that associate with your goal.
EXAMPLES OF DESIRE-ENHANCING SYMBOLS INCLUDE:
Pictures of what you desire
A scrapbook of photos
Music that excites you
Videos or DVDs (YouTube has some great ones); you can watch anything related to fitness or your goals--workouts, athletic events, scenes of people with great bodies
Vacation spots, beaches, athletic pictures--anything that will remind you of how your improved body will improve your life.
A picture of your ideal body type, with your face glued onto it; every time you see the picture, imagine yourself having that body you see and then in the present and feel it!
