Learning From Mistakes

11/17/2016

 
There’s no single effective way to break bad habits. It’s not one size fits all. It's also important to recognize that even if you take a few steps back, it's not the end of the world. In fact, research has found that change rarely occurs in a straightforward, linear sequence, and when people falter, they usually don't fall all the way back to where they first began the journey. If viewed and used correctly, missteps can serve as learning opportunities, helping you become better prepared for the next leg of the trip.
Learning from mistakes can prepare you for what lies ahead

A Buddy Can Help You Reach Your Goals

9/23/2016

 
Whether it be a friend, co-worker or family member, someone else on your journey will keep you motivated and accountable. Perhaps it can be someone who will go to the gym with you or someone who is also trying to stop smoking. Talk about what you are doing.

A buddy helps keep you accountable
Consider joining a support group. Having someone with whom to share your struggles and successes makes the work easier and the mission less intimidating.

If you are married, it is important that your spouse knows who your accountability partner is. Usually a spouse is too close to you to make a good accountability partner.

​Choose someone who will be brutally honest with you. You need someone who will hold you accountable. Look for someone who has the qualities you lack.

Small Steps Lead to Huge Rewards!

7/26/2016

 
Each step you make, even if it's a relatively small step such as making the resolution to change, is still a step in the right direction, bringing you closer to your ultimate goal. After you've identified realistic short-term and long-term goals, break down your goals into small, manageable steps that are specifically defined and can be measured. Is your long-term goal to lose 20 pounds within the next five months? A good weekly goal would be to lose one pound a week. If you would like to eat healthier, consider as a goal for the week replacing dessert with a healthier option, like fruit or yogurt. At the end of the week, you’ll feel successful knowing you met your goal.
Picture
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by a big goal and this can make you feel like you don’t know where to start or maybe like you just don’t have any motivation at all to begin. This is another place where a health coach is a wonderful asset to guide you through this process. Your coach can help break your big goals into tiny manageable pieces that are not intimidating. Each small step is a step in the right direction!
