♦ Just get moving. Taking action will create the momentum and positive results you need to keep going.
♦ Take baby steps. If your goal is to exercise regularly, begin with 10 minutes a day. If you’re in a reading slump, read one chapter. Want to eat better? Start with breakfast.
♦ Be consistent. Any action is better than no action. If you don’t have time for a whole workout, do a few stretches. If you miss a day, don’t beat yourself up—start fresh the next day.
♦ Keep a log of your progress. You’ll see what’s working and what’s not. It will also boost your confidence to see your achievements on paper.
♦ Reward yourself. If you’re exercising regularly, get a massage. If you’re eating right, treat yourself to a healthy lunch out with friends.
