Give up on giving up!
We often have conversations with people who tell us that they have no will power, or patience to get the job done. They know what to do but they are easily distracted or they just can’t stick to things. This negative self-image often comes from the fact that we have tried and failed at things in the past. But what is so important to understand, is that this past failure isn’t because you’re just rubbish, it’s just because you didn’t have the right plan, or you tried to do too many things at once. To start to experience success you need to get the right goal and the right plan in place to achieve that goal. Make achieving success a little bit easier and when you start to achieve, your self confidence and self belief will increase, giving you more strength and resolve to try something even more challenging.
Have you have tried to lose weight many times and find success hard to come by? Maybe you’re looking for success in the wrong place?
Why not try working through one of these smaller goals each week and see if you can tick them off as completed? If you find they work for you then why not keep them going for good? Once you have mastered one goal, and it has become a habit, add another, and so on, until you are living your life the way you want to.

Many people would try to do a combination of all of these at once, its impossible. We advise you to try one, then repeat the ones you enjo
y. Then use these ideas and some of your own, to create your next 6 months plan. Introduce each one individually and you will find that not only will you have success, because you can devote the time and energy to one thing, you will also subconsciously learn these new behaviours.
The success you are really chasing will start to come if you start to focus on what’s important rather than everything at once.
This week!
Take a step back. What is the one single most important thing that you need to do to start to experience success. Focus on that for one week only, see how you do. Putting all your energy into just one thing instead of a hundred, can have a massive impact on your success levels. Then build on it and take it from there. Success is quite literally weeks away!
