Slipped Up? Now Get Up & Stay The Course!

The truth is that starting new habits, and changing old patterns of behaviour, is hard. So too is staying the course toward big goals – particularly when you’re not quite sure how to achieve them!  Heck if it were easy to start getting up an hour earlier every morning to exercise, eating only clean foods or carving a half hour out of your day to meditate, everyone would be doing it.

It’s for this reason that I want to share with you some strategies to help you make changes that stick and to ‘get back on the horse’ if/when you fall off.  I hope a few will hit home and help you make the year ahead that much better and bigger than it would have been otherwise.

1. Decide what you want (like what you REALLY want!)

You wouldn’t start out on a journey with no idea where you were going. Likewise you need to set your compass (or GPS!) on whatever it is that you truly want.  I mean, how can you create your ideal ‘dream life’ if you aren’t sure what it actually looks like. A lot of people I speak to have no idea.   So before you do anything else, give yourself some empty time with a blank page to map out what a truly extraordinary life looks like for you – physically, financially, spiritually, emotionally, in your relationships, the work you do and the impact you make. Creating an inspiring vision for the future you want provides a compass to guide you forward – what to steer toward and what to steer away from.  As the old saying goes, if you don’t know where you’re going, you may end up someplace you don’t much like.
