AUGUST 2016 (OH! MAGAZINE)

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but here's the honest truth:
Regardless of what you want to achieve in life, whether it is a
change in your body shape, more money in the bank, or a
promotion at work, two things are required for it to happen:
1. Focused effort. And by this I mean the ability to stay on task,
ignore distractions and to keep showing up day after day, even when
it is boring or when you don't feel motivated or inspired to continue.
2. Self-awareness. This refers to your ability to reflect on your
actions, to practice self-compassion when you've dropped the
ball, and to call yourself out when required.
Practice these two things and everything else will fall into place.
