7 secrets to staying on track when you want to change your life

 

1.     Find a professional accountability partner

Finding a friend isn’t always the best option for you to get the change you want. If you are really serious about succeeding in having the change you want in your life, beat the norm and hire a dedicated professional to help you make plans that are custom built for you. She or he will be able to show you How to adopt the new strategies as well as change your beliefs that were standing in your way in the past.

2.     Learn HOW to..

It’s not enough to have someone who will help you spot in the gym or motivate you to want to change your life. You need be able to learn HOW to make these changes so that in the future you can take control of making these changes in allied areas of your life now and more importantly in the future. What you are looking for is a system that will be yours to use even when you don’t have external help.

3.      Allow for feedback not failure

Every time you take a step toward making the change a reality there is a very high chance that you will fail or suffer a setback – what’s important is that you design a plan that takes care of these contingencies when they happen. Every time you work on your relationship or make a move to lose weight, you might not get the result you wanted – this is the feedback that you use to design your next move. Word to the wise – there is no failure and only Feedback.     

4.      Dream in immersive Technicolor

When I first decided to become fit and make endurance my mantra, I chose a really big dream goal – proceed then to flood your mind with pictures, videos, screen savers, everywhere you look, they reflect back the change you seek. The mind mimics the imagery you’ve fed it.    

5.      Practice congruent habits with the change you want

Find as many habits you can that are in sync with the change you seek – doing something, even if it’s one thing makes the difference when you consider cumulative success. Every kilometre run, mile cycled and conversation had vs. avoiding what you want will add up when you look back in 3-6 months. In fact most often when you look back at the end of the week you’ll surprise yourself.  

6.      Teach the change you want

There’s something quite fascinating that happens when you decide to teach willing friends, acquaintances & family what you’ve learnt. Every strategy that you’ve culled, read, tested and experienced for yourself grows ten-fold as you simplify it for willing recipients who are ready to begin their own personal journey of growth and discovery.

7.      Plan for the future consistently

If there’s one secret that’s most potent, then let it be this – always ensure that you keep checking in with yourself and the change you’ve set a foot. Every time you get closer the more life you extend to you will give yourself the chance to not only achieve what seemed impossible until recently but more importantly you will have the opportunity to build a new life taking you places.
