Achieving your change can be difficult, but not impossible. It is so often that initial first step that is so hard to make. We think of a millions reasons not to take it and then look back on a life filled with missed opportunities to grow, learn and become a better person.
It is critical to know what truly motivates you to change. Keeping in your mind a concrete reason will have a tremendous impact as you proceed with your efforts. Focus on the reasons why you want to change.
Motivate
yourself daily because every day we make dozens of small choices that determine
whether we will succeed. Like everything in life, you will need to commit to
it, work hard and be consistent.
It is easier to
stay motivated and stick to your intention to change when you see your
progress. So, make a small change if that is what is possible. From that small
change and success you will gain confidence and you can build upon that to make
more and perhaps even bigger changes.
There is always
room for improvement. Learn from both your successes and your failures, and
then adjust. Eventually you will discover the right combination of tactics to
help you achieve your desired change. It isn’t too late for you to improve
something in your life that you really want to change. No matter what age you
are at.
When it comes to
our future success, there are two ways to look at life. We can feel powerless.
We believe life just happens to us. It is out of our hands, so we sit back,
play the role of the victim and react to everything. Or, we can feel powerful.
We believe our choices make a difference in what happens to us. We chose to act
rather than react to people and situations. Which one describes you?
Some things in
life we can change; some things we can't. Losing weight, eating healthy, trying
to become a better parent, are definitely goals that are within our reach. Make
an effort to become a better you.
Stop waiting for the right time to get started. Make the most of today and get started with your new life. Pick an action you can do today. Scheduling your changes for later will only serve as an excuse not to make them.
ReplyDeleteAnytime you want to, you can make some changes in your life, but just wanting to change is not enough. Obviously, more is required.
ReplyDeleteChange is hard. And it's easy to get discouraged when you try and don't get the results you were hoping for. But the reality is that just making the effort is, in fact, progress. Change is not an event with an exact start and stop point; it's a process. Each step you make, even if it's a relatively small step such as making the resolution to change, is still a step in the right direction, bringing you closer to your ultimate goal.
ReplyDeleteEveryone struggles with staying motivated and reaching their goals. Just look at how many people go on diets, lose weight, and then gain it back again! The reality is that refocusing, changing, or making a new start on something, no matter how small, is a big deal. But it's not impossible. With the right approach, you can definitely do it. So how do you stay motivated and on track with your goal? It all comes down to good planning, realistic expectations, and a stick-to-it attitude. Reaching frequent, smaller goals is something to celebrate. It gives you the confidence, courage, and motivation to keep running — or doing whatever it is you're aiming to do. So reward yourself!
ReplyDeleteThere are indeed many many small ways we can change and improve, although it can be hard to see the bigger picture if we are truly somewhere we do not want to be - be it a relationship, a job, a home - all of these can impact on our inability to see better ways for our future well being.

I think that is the biggest factor of all for successful weight loss. Knowing that it is never too late and seeing results from your actions. It is often discouraging when people do a lot of work and see no reward, however when they see even a small reward it can be massively reinforcing.
