It is day 2 of the New Year. How are your new year goals coming? Hopefully 2 days in you are still going strong. We all hear the cliché about the gym being full January 1st and empty by the 14th. As someone who goes to the gym regularly, I can attest to the truth of this. We know our drive will start to fade.
That is why it is vital to do something now to keep our excitement level up. I suggest that you plan celebrating small goals. Make it one week going to the gym? Buy yourself a new workout outfit. When you reach one month plan another treat. Maybe a spa day? Keep this up while the difficult process of becoming a habit takes place.
It is good to foster things to stay motivated. Maybe put together a list of songs that get you pumped up and create a Playlist. Think of movies that inspire you to be your best and work toward your goals. It is time to get these and other ideas together now. That way, when your motivation begins to fade, which it will, you have a little extra help.
A few other ideas that were given to me to help stay motivated are having a vision board, buying a new outfit in the size you would like to become, start a savings account with weekly or monthly goals. These and many others would be great ideas. What are yours?
SECRET 2 AN AMAZING LIFE 
One goal of mine this year is to wake up at 5am every morning. I am keeping myself motivated by having a punishment set for not getting out of bed. I’ve tried this before with just rewarding myself but for the harder goals I had to bring in the reinforcements. So if I sleep in instead of waking up I have to take a cold shower. You wouldn’t believe it but getting out of bed suddenly isn’t so hard anymore especially when comparing it to a cold shower (in my opinion).
