A trick to get you where you want to be

Posted: 28 Jun 2012 02:27 AM PDT

HERE’S THE MENTAL TRICK: To make better decisions, imagine your life one year from now. From that perspective, look back on where you are now and think about how you wish you would have handled your current situation. --Don Miller

Interesting.

Where do you want to be in a year?  I bet you have a great idea of what you'd like to see.  Now think about the most amazing piece or plate full of (insert your most loved food here).

How's that piece or plate full eating experience stack up against your desire for that outcome next June?  I'm guessing it could be the best eating experience in the world but you could be happy with a third or less of it if you were guarenteed you'd be in the place you want to be next June.

Interesting thing about this mental trick?  If you use it -- you will be where you want to be next June.

 Can you do arm weights?  Building up muscle in the upper body will help with the metabolism.  Hos about swimming?

Good luck to you.
