Motivation & Goal Setting: Part 4

The best way to motivate yourself in this next step is to find a strong accountability partner. This needs to be someone that you trust, look up to and respect. Be sure to think carefully about a person that would be able to fill these shoes. Right now, write a list of 5 people that you feel could be a strong accountability partner. List out their qualities, and then by process of elimination, choose the person that you believe will help you stay strong, motivated and help you achieve your goals. Call that person up now and ask them if they are willing to support you and motivate you in achieving your goals today!

Joining an online community or message board can also be vitally important to your success. I know to some of you that this may sound corny, but online communities are an easy way to gain instant support, encouragement, motivation and friendship from people who share the same goals and mindsets that you do. This is where you can learn from other’s mistakes and even share some of your own. You can learn a ton of information and gain a wealth of knowledge from these online communities!

Also, a majority of these sites have professionals that you can ask questions of and get fantastic answers from. Be sure to be active, ask questions, and share your thoughts and feelings. You will only get whatever you put into the community, so take advantage of this free resource and use it! You can use Google to find online communities that are specific to your goals, or if weight loss is your goal you can check out ours at TheFitCouple Community site.

Next blog post will wrap this topic up so act now and get moving, today is the day!! :)
