Work towards your goals
If you're trying to make positive changes in your life,
it’s important to set yourself up to succeed:
- First, set small, attainable goals. Work your way into a new habit with baby steps, and you’ll feel more successful every step of the way, and be less likely to give up.
- Next, reward your progress. For each small goal, you reach, allow yourself to feel pride, and perhaps give yourself a small reward.
- Don’t forget to enlist social support. Tell the supportive people in your life what you’re attempting to achieve, and tell them about your successes. This will give you added strength.
