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.

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,….....
