List your goals: Write down the fitness goals you have for yourself. Keep the objectives quantifiable and accurate. This practice will help you stay motivated to hit the gym every day.

Don t be overconfident: Overconfidence can undermine willpower so never take pride in what you have accomplished. Rather than saying yourself that you are already half way done with your goal tell yourself that you have a lot more to achieve.

Plan ahead: Positive thinking is not the only thing you need to achieve your goal. You need to be aware of the obstacles and plan ahead. So if you are headed out for a vacation, pack those resistance bands so that you do not miss out working your body.

Meditate: People who meditated exhibited stronger self-control that those you did not meditate. You don t have to sit for hours meditating but just give ten minutes of your day and breathe mindfully. This will help you focus on your goals and prevent you from giving in to your temptations. Here’s a 10-step meditation guide for beginners.
