“Goals We Set – Are Goals We Get!”
 
New Years 2010 is here and most people have hopes and dreams to see it be their best year ever. We encourage you to take the time to put all your wishes and dreams down on paper. Called a WISHLIST or VISION for  2010, because that’s exactly what it is, a list of wishes, hopes and dreams.
 
If you had a magic wand in your hand and could create a perfect year for yourself in the next 12 months…what would it look like?
 
What kind of shape would you be in? What Martial Art skills would you possess?
 
What would your business and career life be like? How about your income and financial success? How much money would you have in savings?
 
Writing down your wishes and dreams is a great exercise. It’s also a lot of fun and it helps you to start thinking about creating the goals that will move you in the direction of your dreams.
 
Once you’ve created your WISHLIST or VISION for 2010, the next step is to create a 90 Day Massive Action Plan.
​
These are the actions you are going to take to make your dreams and goals become a reality. Your M.A.P.}>Massive Action Plan.
 
Experts agree the moment you take action on your dreams, you have begun the process of Goal Achievement. The first action should always be to write them your goals down on paper. Better known as Think it…Ink it!
 
Never leave the sight of a goal without taking action. Goal Setting is such an essential and powerful tool for success in the Martial Arts and in life.
 
Our Black Belt Success System is a great example of Goal Setting in action.  Becoming a Black Belt Champions takes an average of 3-5 years for those that set their sights on it early. This would be considered a long range goal.
 
The best way to achieve a long range goal is to break it down into bite sized portions. Do this by creating short and mid-range goals that lead you toward your ultimate long range objective.
 
Just like the STEP X STEP process in the Journey to Black Belt.  Whether you are doing martial arts such as Krav Maga, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA, Ju-Jitsu, kickboxing, or others, setting goals will help you progress.

A recent Wall Street Journal article confirmed what most of us know in our hearts;  That exercise is good for all our systems:

As millions of Americans flock to the gym armed with New Year’s resolutions to get in shape, medical experts are offering an additional reason to exercise: Regular workouts may help fight off colds and flu, reduce the risk of certain cancers and chronic diseases and slow the process of aging.

This week’s tip for health and fitness is timed with the Holiday Season as well…reminding you to D.I.A.}> Decide in Advance.
​
Simply meaning that it’s best that you should DECIDE IN ADVANCE what you will eat and drink…along with what you won’t eat and drink over the Holiday Season.

It’s easier to enjoy your Holidays in moderation if you D.I.A.

Often times during the Holidays, well meaning family and friends do a very good job of encouraging you to over indulge as part of celebrating the year.

The combination of over indulgence of bad food combinations, along with alcohol and over spending…can cause a lot of stress after Holidays are over.

Too much partying combined with less exercise and physical training is a dangerous combination for your overall health and fitness goals.

Our suggestion is to D.I.A.}>Decide in Advance to have a lot of fun and enjoy the Holiday Season without falling prey to over indulgence.
