1. Set a goal; this will help focus your efforts on something you truly desire. Putting an end date or deadline on the goal will also help create a sense of urgency. 

2. Believe in yourself; Along the way to the finish line you will encounter rejection & failure. Trust in the process. Believe in the possibility of achieving, even when others may express doubt.

3. Be flexible; When we encounter that rejection, this is the moment to adjust the execution of the plan. It's not that our goal is unattainable, maybe we have just met more adversity that we had expected. Reevaluate your plan, then start fresh at the beginning of a new day. If the goal is to lose 100lbs in a year, don't give up at 50lbs (6-7 months in) with the justification of the last half being too far away. YOU'RE HALF WAY THERE!! Adjust the nutrition, workouts, or lifestyle. 

4. Be appreciative; in all aspects of life. Be thankful you have a car, for someone to cut you off in. Be thankful you have grocery money, even though the line to buy is 20mins long. Appreciate all your efforts. Do not negate your effort. Appreciate the hard work of others. This will reinforce your support system & spread the love we're all looking for.
