Choices

<ul><li>Identify the influence of media and information on your life. Identify ways to protect it from the negative and fill it with positive information.</li><li>Evaluate your current associations. Which must you stop or limit? How will you expand your (good) associations?</li><li>Pick an accountable partner and decide when, how often, what to and how you’ll hold each other accountable.</li><li>Identify three areas of life you are most focused on improving.

Creating Momentum

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge.”

“You alone are responsible for what you do, don’t do, or how you respond to what’s done to you.”

“You make your choices, and then your choices make you.”

“Consistency is the key to achieving and maintaining momentum.”

“Allow yourself to go and do it wrong. Don’t expect to always get it right. It will prevent you from doing anything.”

<ol><li>Identify your triggers.</li><li>Eliminate those TRIGGERS from your Environment. </li><li>Substitute with a REWARD that has the same effect </li><li>Either: Ease into your new reward – (if No.3 doesn't work) some habits are easier to change by cutting them down slowly.</li><li>Or: Make a hard change – others are easier to dislodge with a quick decisive tug at the roots.</li></ol>

Eliminating Bad Habits

<ol><li>Start Strongly – start with a strong WHY</li><li>Set Yourself Up to Succeed – eliminate distractions</li><li>Think Addition, Not Subtraction – focus on what you will get not what you lose.</li><li>Make a Public Commitment </li><li>Find a Success Buddy –a friend or a coach</li><li>Set up Some Competition – compare the results with yesterday's progress</li><li>Celebrate – training your brain is much like training a dog so don’t underestimate the power of small, simple rewards for good behavior.</li></ol>
