Setting Priorities<br />
Lead to Positive Change!<br />
Your priorities guide your attention and energy as to what<br />
you’ll accomplish first. If you’re looking to achieve the<br />
healthiest version of yourself, your most important goals<br />
should become your top priorities.<br />
Many people want to change, but they miss the mark because<br />
they are making everything else a priority except for themselves!<br />
So here are some ideas on how to apply these principles to making<br />
lifestyle changes that will last and lead you to be the best version<br />
of yourself!<br />
1<br />
Make the time to set your priorities, it won’t happen automatically.<br />
Schedule your workout a week or even weeks in advance!<br />
Write it down, book it out, pencil it in!<br />

Determine what matters most to you. If everything’s a priority,<br />
then nothing’s a priority. Read that again!<br />
Have a ‘Why” that goes deeper than looking good in a bikini.<br />
Superficial goals don’t usually stand the test of time.<br />
Think beyond today. Ensure that your priorities withstand the<br />
test of time and are not too unrealistic.<br />
Get ready to sacrifice. Choices have consequences. Saying “no”<br />
to one thing allows you to say “yes” to another. Sacrifice is inevitable<br />
but will pay off in the long run.<br />
6<br />
Learn to say NO! When you overcommit your time or spread<br />
your resources too thin, you fail to dedicate the attention that<br />
your priorities deserve. Ain’t this the truth!<br />
7<br />
We’ve all heard the saying, “To change your life, you<br />
need to change your priorities” and that couldn’t be<br />
truer when we’re talking about transforming your body.<br />
Maintain balance. Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of<br />
balance. While this may sound simple, it’s not easy. Try your<br />
best to find a good balance that works for you…otherwise it could<br />
lead to burnout.<br />
Make it a family affair! Discuss your goals with your loved ones.<br />
8 If priorities are aligned, you’ll have much easier time accomplishing<br />
your goals!<br />
9<br />
10<br />
Have someone to keep you accountable. This will help keep you<br />
honest and your fitness priorities at the top of your list.<br />
Set little rewards along the<br />
way. It’s a great incentive<br />
to keep moving forward<br />
when the going gets tough. Rewards<br />
can be anything from a<br />
new pair of workout pants or<br />
something along the lines of<br />
a massage. Ahh!<br />
