#MindsetMonday : Are You Planning for the Future or for the Present?

This is the beginning of week 2 in March. Everyone was ready to rock and roll this morning in the 5:30AM class. Remember the lesson for today... Are you making decisions based on where you are today, or on where you want to be tomorrow? 

Many of us have a "circumstance" way of thinking. You know that recurring statement "if I lose 10 pounds then I will fell better and then I'll start working out..." Many people are planning for now and not for the future. What you need now will set you behind the eight ball in the future. 

If you are working out 4 days a week now do you think that same routine will help you be successful in the future? You have to plan ahead.. Your routine should become more challenging as you become stronger and build up more stamina. Also your diet should change to off set the calories you are burning during your workouts as well as the amount of protein, carbs and fats you are taking in should change to help you build muscle and loose fat. 

We have always heard the saying, "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail." This is true when it comes to fitness. You should have the following 3 things: 

 1 You need a clear vision of where you want to be.

2 You need a clear idea of what it’s going to take for you to get there.

3 You need the courage to commit your money, time, and energy to those people and things that will get you to where you want to be even when the uncertainty of it all seems scary.

I get it change is HARD. Going into uncharted waters is scary. But if you have the right plan and direction you can get to your destination. 

Here's my challenge for you: 

1. Write down your goals on an index card

2. Put some kind of action towards that goal TODAY! Don't wait for circumstances to be perfect. 

3. Tell someone you trust about your goal or write a post about it daily on Facebook, your blog, Instagram etc. This will keep you accountable and your friends will hold you to your goals. 

4. Read your index card with your goal on it first thing in the morning and right before going to bed at night...

Good luck on your plan, I know you will be successful!
