How to Make your New Year's Resoutions Bullet-Proof

New Years Day brings thoughts of renewal and resolutions to be made. But many of these well intentioned resolutions fail, many even before the first month is over.

I think it is due to the lack of giving enough thought to the goal setting process.

For us to have a honest chance to succeed, we must create S.M.A.R.T. goals.

First, they must be SPECIFIC. What exactly do you want? Asking for a new car is not enough if it does not suite your needs or it is in a color you hate to be seen in.

Second, they must be MEASURABLE. Many make weight loss their goal, but in my experience, using a scale is the worst way to measure your success. It is much easier use a measurement that you can immediately quantify like amount of food or how many CrossFit workouts you performed this week.

Third, they must be ATTAINABLE and Fourth, REALISTIC. Setting a goal that is neither of these things will only set you up for a cycle of guilt and self-loathing for not meeting your goal. Sometimes it is best to set many small goals and see how you accomplish them rather than set too large of a goal.

Lastly they must be TIMELY. I was once told by one of my coaches, “ A goal with out a deadline is not a goal at all.” All goals must have a clearly defined time frame including a target date or time assigned to it. This is a powerful concept that we use with most our CrossFit workouts, having a set time to complete it with a stopwatch running.

Use these principals when crafting your New Years Resolutions this year and see how much you will accomplish!

Esquire magazine writes about Don Wildman.

They claim he can run like a Marine, snowboard like an Olympian, and bike like a Tour de France champion. Not bad for a 75-year-old.
