Path 2 Life Balance Coaching

"You are accountable for your actions, your decisions, your life; no one else is, but you." Catherine Pulsifer

Has this ever happened to you?  You decide to make a change in your life.  Perhaps you want to lose weight.  You join the local gym, or buy a treadmill or new workout DVD, get some new workout clothes and shoes, look-up everything you can on healthy eating and clean out your pantry. Nothing is stopping you this time.  You congratulate yourself on being disciplined and diligent.  This momentum lasts until something comes up and you miss one workout. The next thing you know, one missed workout has turned into two….then more days in a row….  

Whatever your personal goals are, finding ways to stay motivated and on track are essential.  Here are some things that you can do to keep moving towards your desired destination:

• Block off 15 minutes a day in your calendar for deep breathing or meditation
• Post affirmations or reminders throughout the house
• Cut out pictures of your dream or heart’s desire
• Choose a favorite piece of music when doing dreaded tasks
• Listen to a meditation tape
• Light a candle or burn incense.
• Put a reminder object in your pocket.
• Change the lighting or paint color in a room
• Establish creative consequences or rewards
• Find an exercise partner or personal trainer
• Call your own voice mail every day when a certain task is done
• Wear a rubber band on your wrist when you want to remember something
• Give yourself deadlines and schedule a time to share your progress with someone (family, friend, co-worker)
