we start VERY HIGH, with a perfection mentality. For
example, while cooking, do you set the stove to High,
and try to cook your food as fast as possible? When
you do this, you burn the outside of the food whereas
the inside remains uncooked.
Setting goals and sticking to them will be successful
when we start at a pace that is reasonable. When we
start cooking the inside.
VISUALIZE YOUR GOALS
Lastly, I have found that it helps to visualize your-
self with that goal accomplished. Nothing motivates
me more than seeing results. Surround yourself with
others striving for the same goal. Watch things on TV;
listen to Music that reminds you of that goal. Use a
photo on your laptop, phone, or tablet that reminds
you of that goal. Read books that inspire you and
encourage you to achieve that goal.
You will find that goals that are lifestyle changes are
the most difficult. It brings up self-doubt and ques-
tions about what that change will bring. These do-
ubts may also be hindering you from really following
through, with what you say you want. So when you
start to fall back, ask yourself, why am I sabotaging
this if I really want it? What am I so afraid of? Is the
fear 100% true?
What are your goals for this year? What do
you plan to do to stick to them?
