What Are Secrets to Achieve Our Health Goals? |
Many people do not know why they want to be healthy. It is not good enough that you want to look good. If you really really want to lose 20 lb, you can lose it. If the reason you want to lose weight is that your wife told you to do, it won't work. If the reason is that your doctor told you that you would die in a few months unless you lose 20 lb, you can lose 20 lb easily. Yes, a motivation is almost everything. If you think that dieting three months to lose 10 lb is only you need, it is not quite that simple. Most people who rely on a short-term diet gain back what they lost and more in a year. You need to make a (possibly huge) life style change. One time over-eating did not make you over weight. Your life style gradually increased your body fat. Without a life style change, the result won't be a permanent one.
Without health, you cannot enjoy your relation with your family, your wealth, your intellectual life, or even food. Do you want to eat food from a tube inserted from your nose to stomach? If you are not healthy, it could happen. Put a priority on improving your health. Some people say that they are too busy at work and family life, and do not have time to work out. It is not true. There is always time, if you make it. As I mentioned previously, the health is the most important thing in your life, and you can find the time. Think about it, many American watch TV for 4 hrs or more a day. And you cannot make 30 mins for your health? You do not need to go to a gym to work out, you can work out at home, at work, at a way to and from work. You just need to commit yourself. |

It is not easy to achieve anything if your family members are not helpful. Tell them what is your goal, and what you want from them to support you, If you can, involve them. However, don't depend on them. You want to have a system that does not require other people's involvement. If you think you cannot, you cannot. If you think you can, you can. This is true. Everyone is far more capable than she thinks about herself. The main obstruction for achieving goals is disbelieves in oneself. In fact, most people know that intellectually, but it is not easy to believe it emotionally. The best way is, as anything else, taking a small step first. Pick something that you already can do well, such as walking. Maybe walk bit faster or longer next time. Then increase little bit more next time. Eventually, you will build your self-confidence, and will reach your goal. |
The best way to succeed your health goals is to find someone who was in the same situation, but achieved their health goal. If you can find someone among your friends, that is great, but the person could be from books, magazines, or tape courses. Whatever difficulty you face, someone had it before, and solved it. |
Many women dream to have a fashion model's body. Yes, they look good with nice clothes on, but many of them are very unhealthy. They suffer osteoporosis by mid 20's!. Besides they are not sexy at all for most of men. Think about it. Marilyne Monroe was 5'4" and 140 lb. Wasn't she sexy? If you are healthy, it makes you attractive, both physically and mentally. Set your own standard and have a pride on it. Don't live with someone's standard. Do you know why diet fail? Because people stop eating certain food. If you love chocolate, but stop eating for 3 months to lose weight, what do you think happen after stop dieting? You eat three times more chocolate and gains back all weight and more! Eat whatever you want to eat, but learn how to eat right. If you know whenever you want to eat, you can eat, you will have less craving for the food. |
