goal "gym"
Define the Goal
The goal that I am setting for myself for the next three-four months is to go the gym regularly. I feel that going to the gym and getting exercise is very important for one's health. I have seen the impact that going to the gym has made on some people in my life, and want to have the same positive experience. I know that inherently, exercise is a part of being healthy. The healthier that I am, the better my quality of life will be. To support having a better quality of life, I want to start regular exercise. Further, I look at the next four months as being important because that will take me into summer. In the warmer months, you wear less clothing, and I want to feel good, fit and confident to just go out and look great, and not have any reason to be self-conscious about my appearance. So there are two powerful goals in mind -- vanity being one and a deeper concern for my own quality of life being the other, that are driving my decision to begin regular exercise. To quantify this goal, I want to go to the gym 3-4 times per week for the next four months.
How I Will Achieve my Goal
I will have to undertake...
The first of these steps is to change my frame of mind with respect to exercise. I have to admit, I have had a love-hate with exercise over the course of my life. At times, I have been pretty fit, but other times not so much. So for me, I have to remember what it is I like about the way I feel when I am fit. I believe that this is an important component of the behavior change. As they say in marketing, you sell the benefit, not the features. If the feature is a thinner, healthier me, the benefits are what I can do with that. I can enjoy the outdoors more, I can feel more confident and I will know that I am going to enjoy a longer, happier life if I commit to getting into shape. That is the mental perspective I want to have, rather than thinking that exercise is some torturous sacrifice that I am making, because that negative mindset will inevitably lead me to just not wanting to make that sacrifice -- I have to keep focused on the positive.
The second way that I will commit to achieving this goal is to join a gym. This is a bigger deal than it seems. First, it represents money out of my budget, and I need to be…

While climbing a mountain like Everest is never easy, it is less treacherous when the group consists of expert, experienced climbers. In 1996, however, many of the people in the three groups were inexperienced climbers who had anywhere between $10,000 to $65,000 to ascend Everest. The problem was that these people did not know what to do in an emergency and they relied on their leaders for guidance. Had the
Some of my days are very full, not only with my study commitments, but also with my social commitments. Being young, I like to go out and have fun with my friends. I will have to find a balance between this and an exercise schedule that will make my days even fuller. This could result in physical and mental exhaustion. I will have to devise strategies for coping with
