By now, many of our weight loss resolutions have been broken and the tourists have left the gym.
Rick Warren, author of The Daniel Plan: 40 Days to a Healthier Life and The Purpose Driven Life, says there are three key ingredients to successful weight loss. I would propose that these can be applied to any goal.
- Faith
Having belief and trust
that you can do it.
Developing positive affirmations
generates a winning mindset.
- Friends
Having a support system
and accountability partners.
Declaring your goal to others
and receiving their encouragement
helps accomplish it.
- Focus
Having a “why” for your goal
increases your commitment.
That motivation supports you
in staying the course.
Daniel Goleman, an emotional intelligence expert,
says that focus
is the most important ingredient
for people who have become wealthy.
Food and fitness are usually the factors associated with successful weight loss. Introducing faith, friends and focus into your plan will allow you to either lose what you want or gain what you desire.
