Did you know that most people set a goal like,?“Lose 20lbs”?and just leave it at that.??
?
But, goal setting isn’t quite that simple.?In fact, there is a strategy involved with goal setting.?
?
For example, a random?“passive goal”?such as?“Lose 20lbs”?puts you at the mercy of outside forces — like your bathroom scale or how your clothes fit.
?
On the other hand, a proactive?“action-based goal”?puts you fully in charge of accomplishing the end result.??
??
?
Here’s HOW a Proactive “Action-Based” Strategy Works
?
?
Let’s use the example of losing 20lbs since this is something most people can relate to.?
?
You can’t directly?CONTROL?the end result. What I mean is that it’s too oblique.?You can’t actually control “losing 20 pounds” … even if you wanted to.?
?
But, what you?CAN?control are the?ACTIONS?required to make it happen – such as optimizing your nutrition plan and embarking on a progressive workout regimen that increases your metabolism.??
?
Just DO it!
?
?
ACTION-BASED GOALS?provide you with clear daily tasks as well as daily benchmarks of accomplishment.?
?
So, basically, if you just?DO?what you set out to do, you will, in fact, lose those 20lbs.
?
Plus, as side benefits, you’ll increase your energy, sleep better and reduce stress levels.
