"THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP"

For years I had set goals and not followed through. I'd get inspired in the moment, get all pumped up, but three weeks later I noticed I wasn't following through on anything I'd written down. Writing a goal is certainly the first step, and most people don't even do that; just the action of committing your ideas to paper begins to make them more real. But the most important thing you can do to achieve your goals is to make sure that as soon as you set them, you immediately begin to create momentum.
The most important rules that I ever adopted to help me in achieving my goals were those I learned from a
very successful man who taught me to first write down the goal, and then to never leave the site of setting a goal without first taking some form of positive action toward its attainment. Way to continue this momentum is to take immediate action as soon as you can. Even the smallest step—a phone call, a commitment, sketching out an initial plan—will move you forward. Then develop a list of simple things you can do every day for the next ten days.

"HARNESS THE POWER OF DECISION"

1. Remember the true power of making decisions: It's a tool you can use in any moment to
change your entire life. The minute you make a new decision, you set in motion a new cause, effect,
direction, and destination for your life. You literally begin to change your life the moment you make a
new decision.
2. Realize that the hardest step in achieving anything is making a true commitment—a true
decision :
Carrying out your commitment is often much easier than the decision itself, so make your
decisions intelligently, but make them quickly. Studies have shown that the most successful people make decisions rapidly because they are clear on their values and what they really want for their lives.
3. Make decisions often: The more decisions you make, the better you're going to become at
making them. Muscles get stronger with use, and so it is with your decision-making muscles.
4. Learn from your decisions; There's no way around it. At times, you're going to screw up, no
matter what you do. And when the inevitable happens, instead of beating yourself into the ground,
learn something.

"HOW TO CREATE LASTING CHANGE"

For changes to be of any true value, they've got to be lasting and consistent. We've all experienced
change for a moment, only to feel let down and disappointed in the end. In fact, many people attempt
change with a sense of fear and dread because unconsciously they believe the changes will only be
temporary. A prime example of this is someone who needs to begin dieting, but finds himself putting it
off, primarily because he unconsciously knows that whatever pain he endures in order to create
the change will bring him only a short-term reward.
I'd like to share with you three elementary principles of change that you and I can use immediately to change our lives.
Step one : Raise Your Standards
Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your
standards.
Step two : Change Your Limiting Beliefs
If you raise your standards but don't really believe you can meet them, you've already sabotaged
yourself.
Step three : Change Your Strategy.

"Raise your standards"

"Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thing was changing what I demanded of myself. I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming."Think of the far-reaching consequences set in motion by men and women who raised their standards and acted in accordance with them, deciding they would tolerate no less.
This leads to the following list of day to day standards that really do matter….
· I will get 8hrs of sleep every night
· I will eat real foods away from training and only use sports nutrition for the long stuff
· I will get 2 strength sessions completed each week
· I will do yoga 3x per week
· I will do 1-3hrs of aerobic training each day
· I will do one big day each week.

While standards should be set based upon a 100% compliance intent, it is important for the sake of your own integrity that acceptable exceptions be ‘put on the table’ from the outset. Often these exceptions can be headed off at the pass before they become an issue. Either way, the important people in your life (your partner, your boss, your kids, your coach ;-) need to know what they can expect from you and more importantly, you need to know what you can expect from yourself.

"BUILDING SELF-CONFIDENCE"

No matter what your self confidence level is right now, you can probably improve it. But you need to believe in yourself and your capabilities before any one else will. Bandura's theory of self efficacy is a great place to start looking for ways to improve the way you see your abilities. According to the theory, there are four sources of self efficacy:
1: Mastery experiences--things you have succeeded at in the past.
2: Vicarious experiences--seeing people who are similar to you succeed.
3: Social persuasion--hearing from others that you're capable
4: Emotional status--staying positive, and managing stress.
Three of these sources (the first, second, and fourth) are within your control, so we'll look at them more closely. however, while we can't force people to say good things about us (the third source), we can increase the likelihood of receiving positive feedback by being more confident in general.
