Wow 2 posts in a row. Im back baby.

Even on this second post I feel a focus, a passion towards what I am doing now. Similar to how the All Blacks must have felt last night when they Won the Rugby World Cup.

What a game. Hard fought and we ended up beating the French which is always a good day in any sport.

It got me thinking though about the ability of these rugby players. The drive they have. It is second to none. The All Blacks have not won the cup for 24 years. This team that won last night have been together for 8 years with this same goal.

They Lost in 2003, They Lost in 2007, They came back in 2011 and won it!

Is that not some sort of focus. I wonder if this is the reason I am failing sometimes as I do not have a defined enough passion or goal. I am actually going to look to try a technique a friend gave me for business but apply it to Weight loss.

It is called the 1 – 3 – 5 Technique.

Pick 1 Goal

Find 3 Emotional Connections to why you should achieve that goal

Write down 5 Actions that if completed everyday will help you achieve that goal. 

It makes a lot of sense. As I have been saying less and less has to do with the actual diet I am on, it is more to do with my head and self sabotage. So I need to do it and wanted to share the answers with you.

Goal

To reach 100 KG Mark by 10am on the 16th of December 2011

3 Emotional Connections

1. I want to be able to take my shirt off on a Hawaiian beach and be comfortable. I want to know that I am 100% happy with what I have achieved and can relax with my t-shirt off on a Beach.

2. I want to have children and know that if I do not buck my health up to its full potential I could be putting that at risk. I know I would be a great dad and do not want to put that in jeopardy. (Original Harajuku Moment)

3. Because I want to be liked. I want people to come up to me and tell me Wow you look great, I want to be a role model and feel the love from people who have seen what I have done and be inspired. I want looks of amazement not looks of pity.

5 Daily Actions

1. Write a blog post every day to stay accountable

2. Ask 1 person for help every day (e.g. Girlfriend, Personal Trainer, Grocer..)

3. Do a Minimum of 15 minutes a Day of Exercise (Running, Gym, Soccer)

4. Eat 1 Heath Conscious Meal when I am hungry (Dependent on Diet chosen)

5. Drink only Water, Tea and Black Coffee

When writing the top pieces out. I noticed I could define my goal perfectly. I did not struggle. but when I got to emotional connections. I could not think of any off hand.

Wow. Eye opener. If I have no emotional connection to my goal then no wonder I am not achieving it. It kind of goes back to the Harajuku Moment I spoke of a while back. I seem to have forgotten my why.

With out a why it is not surprising I am not achieving my goal. A goal is only a third of the battle with out the action steps and the Emotional Connection what am I doing.

This is a good lesson today for me. I hope it helps others.
