Think positive-don’t dwell on the pitfalls-focus solely on the benefits. For example, if you are applying for new job or promotion, imagine how great it will feel to earn more money.
Keep goals realistic.
Visualize the outcome-if you are finding it hard to stick to a diet, keep amagining how good you’ll look when you’ve shed those unwanted kilos.
Reward yourself –give yourself regular treats for sticking to your goals. For example, if you are giving up smoking, use the money you have saved for a massage or a haircut.
Enlist the support of a friend –it’s easier to stick to plan if there’s two of you. You can help motivate each other.
Get plenty of sleep-it’s hard to keep motivated if you’re tired. An early night will give you more energy for the following day.
Keep a progress chart- keeping a record of what you achieve will help to spur you on.
Aim small to begin with-instead of thinking ‘I’ve got to go on a diet.”start by cutting out sugar in your tea. That will get the ball rolling and it will be easier to move onto the next stage.
Take one day at a time –think in days rather than months- it’s less daunting.
Keep going-don’t give up on your plan just because you’ve slipped up a few times. That’s invetable. The important thing is not to give up.
