(Choose and use whichever strategies fit your goals and situation the best.)
MOTIVATION

|
If you're feeling unmotivated to do a Short-Term Goal one day, make a deal with yourself: You don't have to do the whole thing this time, just start it.
|
|
Have others help out. Join up with someone with similar goals, so you're responsible not just to yourself, but to them as well.
|
|
Reread the Reasons Why you're pursuing this goal.
|
|
Apply the principle of compound interest. Understand that at the beginning of your program, it will most likely involve more effort than visible results.
|
ENVIRONMENT FOR SUCCESS

|
Keep your goals easy and non-disruptive, something you can weave into your everyday life.
|
|
Develop a variety of ways to pursue your goal.
|
|
Stay healthy.
|
|
Create a personal "rebound ritual".
|
|
Get rid of temptations, or at least make sure they're not around when you're doing your goal activity.
|
SMART STRATEGY

|
Rethink failure. If you fall off the wagon a bit, turn it around into a valuable lesson and an opportunity to keep going.
|
|
Focus on the process. In other words, don't try to do it all at once.
|
|
Have patience.
|
|
Avoid making up for setbacks by piling it on later.
