Make IT Happen!

Make it happen! Make a sheet to post on your wall of what you want. This is your reality board. Now it is time to turn your thoughts into words, your words into a habits and your habits into reality.You have to know what your want to get where you want. In order to make it happen lets start with "what you want?" It could be a smaller waistline, loss weight, a healthier living, fit by fifty, your first triathlon, a better sample of health for your children or a free way of staying away from the doctor. Whatever it is you have to be specific. Write it down.
Set a specific date to reach your goal. Make a realistic goal date to achieve your goal that won't stress you out. Make a schedule that you can devote to regularly. If you have low energy and there is not enough time in your day to sleep, than this is a time management issue. You are beaten your self up to do everything else but you. How will you continue by getting sick about four times a year. Look at your schedule and eliminate what it is that is taking those 45 minutes for your exercise and DRoP IT. Think of what's really not a priority and is interfering in your health. You want an example? Okay, the television, the computer and the phone. We will go deeper into detail on another page, but make a more conscious amount of time for yourself and start doing less of the nothingness to do you more!
Having an accountability partner, group or resource to help keep your word. This is such a valuable part of making it happen. When you commit to what you want and share what you are going to do, you are going to have a lot of doubters. You have said this before, but you keep doing it the same way all the time. Your partner will hold you to it and they believe in you. This time you have to believe in you, do it different and DRoP the excuses. Your word and your effort will be supported and your testimony will inspire. Make sure you share in your efforts to better health.
Know what you want and make a plan to achieve it. In order to work a plan you have to follow a plan. Research what you want, join a challenge, join a gym or something that will work for what you want. Know what to do, how to do and when to do it. If you don't know, ask. Make an effort, find it. Joining a group which share the same commonmotivation, inspires you will help you to achieve your goal. Opening and changing your mind set will give another way of making it happen. You cant keep doing the same thing the same way and get different results.

What's your reward? Your reward is achieving what you have set out to do for so long and continue by making it a lifestyle. It inspires others to better health and consciousness. The benefits are more unseen but now felt through your energy and the power to make you your priority. Make it count, make it happen, make an effort and make it DRoP!
