fear of change. Look beyond“ I can’ t” and start substituting this with“ I can” and“ I am”. Identify your excuses for not going through with parts of your goal. By listing excuses, you can see them for what they are and move beyond the fear of change. Sidestep blaming other people or circumstances for not achieving your goals. If you take responsibility for achieving your goal, these external factors cannot sap your power to do what you’ ve said you’ d do.

• Recognize your self-defeating behaviours. Write down the things you do out of habit that distract you from what really matter. Then, list things that you consider to be more positive and fulfilling behaviours and choices you want to make instead. This includes adjusting the habits mentioned in a previous step, even if they were things you once enjoyed.

again. Don’ t be too hard on yourself if you slip the process and remind yourself of the progress you have already made. Just start over it again on Monday.

• Lean on your support team. Whoever you’ ve chosen to help you, be it family, friends, a life coach, therapist, or someone else, lean on them to support you through times of weakness, when you need a booster to get back on track. Don’ t expect to do this completely alone; look for other people’ s advice, ideas and feedback to help you keep going.

• Keep a journal. Document at least one thing every single day in the following year for which you feel grateful and one sentence for the progress you have made. When writing, consider: What memorable moments can you draw from each day? In what ways did you grow today or find that your awareness shifted? Keeping note of this will help you to stay grounded and motivated with your goals.
