Start with Minimum/ Keep it Simple: 

Dieting has become a fancy term. People
keep delaying it to do it perfectly. Perfection is a deception in almost every area of
life. It often prevents us from making a start. 
Starting is essential for reaching any goal. Or else it always stays in the mind but not in
practice. Only actions bring results. 
So keep it simple. And make a few important changes like eliminating sugar, simple carbs,
and bad fat from the diet. It is better to avoid taking a separate gym membership as soon as
you start a diet. It will mostly complicate things and shift your focus. 
Gym workouts need different diet strategies but to learn healthy eating it is important to
improve your relationship with food. A single-minded focus on diet alone will do wonders. 
 

Set and Write your Smart goals: 

Mirza Yawar Baig Sb says “A goal without a
deadline is just a dream”. And dreams alone do not bring results. Actions are needed
to move forward. A SMART goal stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable,
Relevant, Time-bound. Success is not possible without setting smart goals.
So, keep in mind that you are not making an impossible goal that will demotivate you. The
best motivators on a successful journey are the small wins. Make sure you check them off in
a list to keep yourself moving.


Get an accountability partner: 

An accountability partner is someone with whom
you agree to coach each other. You work together on similar goals. It’s proven with
research that people who have an accountability partner with them have higher
chances of weight loss success when compared to those who do it on their own. 
It’s easy to get distracted when you have no one to check on.


Don’t try to change others: 

When we want to start fresh we are excited. We want
others to join us and wish that they see the same benefit in the tasks we chose. But
that’s a big mistake. We might end up attracting negative people who can demotivate
us. So choose your company wisely and mind your own business. Be a role model. Be
the change you want to be and be polite and patient with others around you. Any new
change is difficult to get accepted but eventually, with some small wins, people will
understand you better and will be more supportive for your success.

Set Reminders: 

It’s easy to get distracted in this digital world. The phone is a big
distraction. So, use it to remind yourself about your daily goals and do not

Overindulge in social media. Below you can check the best goal setting and tracking

1. Redesign your surroundings to create new habits: External cues are very important
   in creating new habits. They create a trigger in the brain which initiates a behavior.
   James Clear, the author of the famous book “Atomic Habits” explains the science of
   how habits work. Habits are the key to success in any field. The process of building a
   new habit is through 4 stages. You can read it in detail from the following blog link:

   It works the other way round too. Bad cues like the presence of Junk Food in the
   surroundings will help in creating bad habits. 
    
2. Read/ Listen every day to Motivational Speakers: This should be an essential part
   of your morning and evening routine. Waking up early in the morning and starting
   your day with a fixed routine is the secret of many successful people. This applies to
   success at losing weight and adopting a healthy lifestyle. Reading good books and
   listening to success coaches boosts your confidence and give you ideas to improve
   your daily productivity. 
   
   One such practical and the motivational book is “Miracle Morning” by Hal Elrod.
   According to Hal Elrod, anyone can improve their life by applying a daily morning routine
   based on lifesavers. You can learn more about what these lifesavers are in the link below.
