Quite a few of you have told me you are working on your 2010 goals. I am doing this as well. Some people look at their goals everyday; some people carry a laminated index card with their goals written on it and look at each several times a day; some people create their new goals and tuck it away until the end of the year to review their accomplishments and some people spend time creating their goals and misplace them. Do you fall into one of these categories? Writing goals is creating your commitment to make this year better than last year.
“You can not reach the top of the mountain with a climbing a hill attitude” Rosalie Lynch quote. 
You need goals and plans and it is always great to write them down. What is the secret of an achiever? They write down their goals and look to update them every 4 months. Why is this successful? Because you will want to document your results with three things (l) did I achieve any of my goals; (2) do any of the goals need to be revised and (3) are there goals I need to delete because they happened automatically. Many people sit their goals with a slight bit of effort needed. Expand your goals larger and be specific on why you want to achieve this goal.
There is usually a debate if a person should share their goals with other people. If there are other business people involved, you will need to share your goals to see if they are compatible. I never, ever share my personal goals with anyone mainly because other people do not understand your personal goals and may challenge you in the goals they think are impossible or stupid! Who needs that? I develop my goals in 5 sections: (1) Spiritual and Family (2) Health (3) Business Expansion (4) products and coaching and (5) Fun and Play. Get busy on your 2010 goals and achieve your greatest desires by sticking to them.

“Even if she isn’t feeling well, she pushes herself to go for a walk during the day. She wears a veil so she doesn’t scare people and to avoid insults”. Who is this?
Charla Nash is the lady, from Connecticut, who was attached by the 200 pound chimpanzee. She is blind and disfigured and has to eat through a straw. How many of us turn to walking outdoors when we face a crisis in our lives? Many of us do exactly that – even if we do not feel good physically; we need to stimulate our brain to create stimulation and help us to think and feel better.

We are excited that football season has arrived and we cheer our favorite team on to victory almost every weekend. Baseball season has just ended. We are getting ready for the seasons of Thanksgiving and Christmas. We are finishing up the fall season and heading straight into winter. We love seasonal sports and holidays and plan our lives around them.
I have noticed, in my neighborhood, many of the walkers have disappeared. Where did they go? I am beginning to believe that some people consider walking a seasonal activity. What are the seasons the majority people walk outdoors? Of course, we would say spring and fall because it is too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. The rest of the fortunate people live in a region that the weather is perfect all year around and the seasons are written on the calendar rather than in the environment. Even the bike riders seem to have disappeared because it is turning cold outdoors. What happens with the kids that their parents push in their stroller everyday to get fresh air?
Of course, they have not disappeared. They are not walking the sidewalks because the weather is just too cold for them. I often wonder If they are watching television, talking on the phone, creating a favorite hobby for themselves or just where do they go. We could analyze that these people consider walking a seasonal activity and not a life time commitment to the healthy benefits of walking. Continue Reading »

You do not have to supply yourself with the inspiration to keep motivated with your walking activity. Let other people inspire you; surround yourself with positive messages and people; wear t-shirts with inspiring messages when you dress for your walk. You can post motivation messages on your computer to read everyday.
When you have the opportunity, go to a walking or running marathon and seek out the oldest person as your inspiration. Take pictures of people in the marathon and put them on your computer or refrigerator as a reminder that you can do your daily walking activity.
When I want to skip my daily walk, I go to my computer and go to You Tube for the inspirational video on Dick and Rick Holt and I immediately change my attitude and go for my walk. They inspire me that much and you will have to find other people’s stories of conquering the impossibilities in their lives to prove that everyone can achieve their goals.
I was having lunch with a group of ladies and the topic of walking came up. Two or three of the ladies said they start out walking; however, it does not last. They asked me how they can keep at it and not stop. I asked them what motivates them to walk. They had no definite answer. I asked them if they had set a goal for the walking activity and their answers were no. Without a motivation statement and an inspiration to keep you going, you will stop because they are key elements in being successful in your walking program.
You are encouraged to create your motivation statement as to why you walk. Determining why you do your exercise activity will provide your inspiration. Read your statement out loud so you can hear it every day.
