Why should you take the time to build a support network? Simple. There is power in numbers, and a great support group can pull you through some of your toughest struggles. Also, they are a great tool in holding you accountable to ensure success. The more people you have on your side, the easier living a healthy lifestyle becomes. When you surround yourself with people of like interests, people striving for the same things, success is inevitable.
I like to think of it as creating your "Board of Directors". Your game plan is to incorporate a wide variety of friends and family who will support you, lend encouragement and provide fun along the way.
Positions to be filled:
The "Encourager" for moral support.
The "Motivator" who gets everyone exercising with enthusiasm.
The "Informer" who provides the health and fitness information needed to create a healthy lifestyle.
The "Comic" who keeps the group entertained and laughing throughout the journey.
The "Accountant" who holds you accountable and focused on your goals.
The "Counselor" who is there to listen and encourage your efforts.
The "Chef" who is always looking for and sharing healthy recipes.
When you are just starting out and trying to develop a personal health and fitness plan, your Board of Directors will be instrumental to your success. In the beginning, we all have slip ups along the way. Let me rephrase that, throughout life, we all have slip ups along the way. You're looking for a team of support that will lend their encouragement, without judgment, when minor set-backs occur.
The key to success is consistency. By consistently surrounding yourself with the best, you'll become your best achieving all of your health and fitness goals.
Now get out the clip board and start interviewing!
To your success!
