As you're reading this, I'm guessing that you're pretty interested in improving your health, and you probably set down health goals for the coming year.
But so many people overlook using the one word that could make all the difference to their success. Its "why". Surprised? Well, lets look at an example. Perhaps your goal was to "lose 5kg". There must be a reason why you want to lose 5kg – to fit into a smaller size of clothes? To feel toned and shapely again? To reduce your joint pain?
The 'why' reason adds an emotional component to your goals, and most people respond more strongly to an emotional reason to do something rather than a 'should'. (Don't know about you, but for me, being told I "should" do something just evokes a tantrum in my inner toddler!)
Revisit your health goals for 2010, and make a notation of 'why' you're chasing it. Then imagine how you'll feel when you achieve the goal – that's really going to motivate you!
