Have you ever noticed what an important role motivation plays in the competitiveness of sports teams. Those teammates are constantly knocking each other on their helmets, yelling into each others faces, and going ballistic after good plays. Is there something that we can learn from those guys?
I'm not suggesting that we start slapping each other every time we lose half a pound, but I do think we should look at how football players break up their overall goal of winning the game into many little mini-goals, and what they do to re-focus after every single play. For example, if you wanted to lose a certain number of pounds in 2009, you should break up your yearly goal into 12 smaller monthly goals and then focus on each one of them separately. This approach will not only make your ambitions see more manageable but it will also give you more instant gratification. How about taking that a step further - to weekly and daily goals (working out at least 3 times a week, drinking 8 glasses a water a day, etc.)
