Set goals based on things you can control

When you are setting goals, remember to set them based on things you can control versus those you cannot.

For example:

You can set a goal of having 100% meal compliance and hitting all of your workouts for a period of time because that IS something you can control.

However, you shouldn’t set a goal of losing 2 pounds in the next two weeks because this is something that you CANNOT control.

You can choose your actions, but you can’t choose how your body will respond to them.

However, when you simply focus on the right actions (the ones you can control) over an extended period of time, the variables you can’t control will take care of themselves.
