Define goals and commit

By clearly defining your goal and committing to making changes, you will be more likely to experience levels of success that are far greater than you could have possibly dreamed!

Establish clear timelines

In order to adopt new habits or lifestyles, you must quit that which is not working in your life now. And quitting is hard. Establishing clear and succinct timelines will help you stay on track.

Embrace the challenge

Change is not easy and it takes courage to quit one thing and begin to create new patterns and habits. Instead of looking at what’s missing, begin to look at what’s you’re gaining. Embracing the newness helps with “losing” the old.

Minimize backslide

Anticipate days of discouragement and possible backslide. Setting limits and planning ahead, you will be able to sail through those moments with minimal slippage.

Communicate your intent

Share your goals with those who will become your support group and who will want you to succeed.

Replace Bad with Good

Replace negative and self-defeating thoughts with positive thinking and imagery. You can re-create your world by purging self-destructive behaviors or habits with healthy choices that start to drive your motivation.

Honor yourself by celebrating the milestones

Radical change cannot occur without a series of small milestones first. Recognize and reward yourself often.
