Step 7 - It's time to review

Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still – Chinese Proverb

I'm sure most of you have heard about the definition of insanity. It's when you keep doing the same things and yet you expect different results. This is so true as lots of people keep doing the same actions and then wonder why their lives are exactly the same. There's a lovely quote that goes: if the horse is dead, dismount.

This month we're going to review our goals and action plans and make changes to them, if necessary. Reaching your goals is a process of lots of little steps. You are creating your life, remember. So take the time to look at what's not working, adjust your action plan and determine to commit anew to one day at a time.

On the other hand, if you find that you are well on the way to reaching your goals, and what you've been doing is working, keep doing it! Usually you'll find that there will be a bit of a mix - you'll be steadily moving toward some goals and others seem to be a bit stuck. Physically, I'm not even close to my weight and fitness goals for the year. My adjustment for this month will be to increase my workouts (should be easier now that I don't have to travel so much) and to avoid those gorgeous chocolate croissants at the bakery!

If you haven't yet found a support system like a coach, buddy or personal trainer, this just might be the time to do so...

Action steps for the month
1. Celebrate your milestones with a small reward.
2. Work through your goals and action plans and make changes to bring you closer to your goals.

'Til next time…

Enjoy success
