·????????Think positively.?Remind yourself of the reasons you’re making these changes. Give yourself a pat on the back for all the hard work you’ve done

·????????Change for yourself.?It will be harder to make changes to your behavior if you’re motivated out of guilt or fear or ultimatums.?Choose behaviors that you actually want to change, not just that other people ask you to change, and you’ll be more likely to succeed.
