It is a well-known fact that there is no right way without a goal. If you have a goal and know why you want to achieve it, you will find a way and won't give up halfway through. You can achieve your goals in three steps:

1. First of all, set a realistic goal. Accurately envision your final condition. How do you feel? What is different from today? How will you reward yourself when you've achieved your goal?
2. Think about why you want to achieve the goal. It’s your emotions that drive you. Therefore, think precisely about what is personally very important to you. For what are you prepared to really push yourself?
3. Write down how you want to achieve your goal. When you have something down in black and white, it feels more binding and obligatory. It’s best if you hang the sheet in a place where you can look at it at least once a day.

EXAMPLE

Goal
Run 3 times a week

Why
I want to have that good running feeling again and feel overall fitter.

How
I will get warm running gear and a light.
I will purchase a training plan subscription and will thus always know how long and how fast I should run.
I will plan three fixed training units in my schedule.
