In the midst of our busy schedules we need to carve out some time to quiet the mind and cultivate inner peace. Use that time to get in touch with your inner self and discover your source of your inspiration. Getting in touch with the core reason you want to change will become a great source of energy and motivation to drive you to follow through with your goals. The personal time we have in each day can be limited so it’s important not to get too lost in perfectionism and start with small steps toward moving forward. Try your best to stay positive and allow yourself time for reflection and to clear your mind of negative and self defeating thoughts. Be sure to take good care of yourself when rising up to new challenges. Restoring the body and mind with proper rest and nutrition will provide you with energy, motivation and a sense of well being.
Making the decision to be committed is one thing, taking action and following through is another. Think of taking action as letting go; letting go of the resistance and fear that holds you back from making lasting change. Think of taking action as cultivating inner strength and as a source of empowerment. Through perseverance and repetition you will eventually overcome the obstacles and struggles that creating a new pattern of behavior can bring. It’s widely recognized that it takes approximately 21 days to break an old habit and replace it with a new one. There may not be factual validity to that claim but it’s worth giving it a try as a tool to helping you to achieve success.
Try not to take on too much at once and keep your expectations manageable. Keep pushing yourself past your perceived limitations without beating yourself up for not achieving goals that were initially set too high. Have flexibility with yourself and your plans and celebrate the small achievements you make along the way on your road to success.
