Day 2 - My Goals and Challenges

Take a look at this article by Shruti Salghur and enjoy the video at the end.

The point here is that sheer dedication and will power can lead to serious changes. But what it takes is learning, planning and then doing it continuously for 90-days.

If you are one to procrastinate when it comes to putting your goals and dreams to action... it's about time to make serious changes. While there are ample excuses - low confidence, fear, "don't know how" - the 90-day challenge or system may make all the difference for you. Once you start and build up a momentum, the rest including confidence and prosperity shall follow.

The 90-day period is applicable to achieving any goals you have set for yourself. It is not simple nor is it instantaneous, but it does help create a healthy habit of attaining one's goals.

Let's get started! Set your goals, take 15 minutes and Get it Done!

To begin, you would require:

- A Journal/Diary to record (90 days) - dedicate each page to a day! Write the date and time of each journal or diary entry

AND

- A positive attitude

1) To start, consider your goals. Start with the two most important goals that you want to achieve.

Start by writing your goals! Do you want to lose 10 pounds? Do you want to start an online business? Do you want to change your job or obtain a degree? Make them as specific as possible. And keep them REALISTIC! How do you figure out if your goals are realistic?

Say, for instance, you are looking to lose weight. It would probably be highly beneficial to learn about BMI - Body Mass Index., which indicates the ideal body weight for your height and body make up.

Another important aspect to goal-setting is "longevity". The 90-day helps achieve that to some level but it's up to you to choose a goal that is long-term. Starvations and excessive workouts in the beginning of a fitness program may lead to burn-out and health issues in the long-run. Try and select goals that are not short-lived.

2) Making the best of 15 minutes!

Take a minimum of 15 minutes each and every single day to accomplish one goal. The rule here is you cannot miss a single day. If you do miss a day, you will have to restart the 90-day challenge again.

Yes, this surely requires discipline. But ask yourself "Is 15 minutes too much to ask for when it comes to achieving your goal"?

3) Learn, Plan and Do!

Initially, you will most likely start with researching on the Internet to learn more about your goal (s). Write down what you have learnt and researched in your journal every day.

For instance, if you are trying to start an online business, a Google search on "online businesses" will get you started. If you are looking to find legitimate ways of making money online, a good place to start is Internet Marketing University.

With the know-how, you are ready to Plan and set a time -line to achieving your goals. In the planning stage, ask yourself what are the resources you would need in accomplishing your goals? Someone who is looking to lose 10 pounds may consider a gym membership or buying home equipment or perhaps even a personal trainer. Here, you will need to consider the costs and your budget. More importantly, ask yourself what type of environment will provide the ideal opportunity to achieve your goal (s).

After planning, it's all about doing! Get on the treadmill and work it. Or hire a personal trainer and make that commitment. Either way, get it done!

Things to Remember for your 90-day challenge

- You cannot skip a day

- You must spend a minimum of 15 minutes every single day on your goal.

- Follow the "Learn, Plan and Do" steps in starting and achieving your goals

- You may choose to commit more than 15 minutes each day to your goal. However, this doesn't give you the option to miss a day.

- Stick with it!

Before you know it, your 90-days are up and your journal is a record of your progress and success. Just bear in mind that your research, planning and commitment play a role. For instance, a fitness plan is useless without a diet plan. So if you are chowing down burgers and fries during your 90-day fitness challenge and wonder why the scale hasn't budged, than you should know the reasons why!

This 90-day challenge is applicable to anything you want to do. But it is important to make this 90-day about life-long learning and development. After all, you are looking to create healthy, long-term lifestyle changes, not just for 90 days.
