Health Goals

There are a number of important factors that contribute to successful achievement of your health goals.

Yet, the only real difference between women who achieve and women who do not, is that burning desire to succeed.

But how do you go about strengthening your desire to achieve your health womens health and fitness goal?

This health womens health goal article considers another key factor that will ensure your success with achieving your personal health and fitness goals. This is the question of 'What really motivate you?'.

No, I don't just mean motivation in the general sense of the word, but the issue of 'what it is that really feed your desire' toward achieving your personal goals.

This is important because as humans, we always want to benefit from, or be rewarded for our actions; so we will strive to get something in return for our efforts.

It is the thought of that end benefit or reward that create desire and keep us going even when the going gets tough.

Motivation v Burning Desire!

For instance, before you purchase a washing machine, some beauty cosmetics, a wellness monitor or even a piece of software or gadget of any kind, you want to know how your acquisition is going to help you?

What good it will serve? And how it will change things for the better? You will commit yourself to the purchase only once you're satisfied as to the clear benefits it will bring. The - How will it change my life?' mentality is no different when setting personal health or fitness goals.

Just think about the last time you put in overtime at work to save up for your Summer holiday/vacation. The vacation was the goal; working overtime was the goal objective. What was the - (What's in it for me?) thinking that kept you at work on some of those cold winter evenings?

Was it the thought of you sitting on that beach, getting that bronzer than bronze tan; or the prospect of letting the stresses and strains of the past year melt away; or was it some of the other equally wonderful benefits we all so look forward to when we plan a vacation/holiday.

Whatever your reason - desire was the underpinning motivating factor.

It is the prospect of the 'end benefit' - the 'What's in it for me?' factor that will virtually guarantee the setting and successful achievement of your health goals or any other personal goals.

Without this clarity as to the benefits you will derive from your health and fitness goals, your desire-fire will not burn strongly enough and you will not remain 100% committed to achieving them.

This is why, when setting your womens fitness goals or personal health goals you need to be totally clear and honest about your reasons for wanting to achieve them.

whether your goal setting activity relate to setting business goals, weight loss goals or financial health goals or even personal relationships etc., it really doesn't matter, the same principle applies.

If you're not certain about how you will benefit from your goal, it becomes difficult to stay focused, maintain a healthy optimism and keep your motivation strong.

How To Go About Feeding Your Desire-Fire

Here's an example of what I mean. Let's say you set a health goal along the lines 'I want to lose weight'.

If you just leave it at that without clarifying exactly how setting and achieving your weight loss health goal will benefit you, you won't get excited about your goal and you'll simply go through the motion of taking lacklustre/ uninspired actions to achieve it.

Without a clear identifiable 'what's in it for me' benefit staring you in the face, Sooner or later optimism fade, you lose motivation and you may even abandon pursuit of your health fitness goal all together. You must identify all the benefits!

Here's how to go about getting clarity as to the many benefits attached to achieving your personal, health or life goals.
