Lessons 16 & 17

LESSON 16 - Staying on Track

Many goals take a lot of work in the real world. If you have to lose 60 pounds you need to eat less and exercise more every day for months. You need to control what you eat. You need to go to the gym or track and sweat. If you want to get an 'A' on your exam you need to plan your study time and actually study. You need to prepare for taking your exam.

Weekly Review
Each week take a few minutes to do a weekly review. Sit in a chair. Do the peace suggestions.
1. Review the week. Look at the good and the bad.
2. Look at ways to improve.
3. Plan a schedule of practical steps for the next week.
4. Visualize a successful week.
5. Do strong SH.
You can also listen to the 'Progress' tape.

Start Good Habits plus End Bad Habits
Good habits make it easier. Repeat good habits make it easier and bad habits make it harder. Take a few moment to name a few good habits you can start. Use a habit alert. This can be mental or real. You can put a "brush teeth" sign in the bathroom. Or a bell can go off in your mind when you go to bed. These habit alerts can also alert you to a bad habit coming up giving you time to avoid them.

Staying on Track
See feel yourself on track to your goal. Now become aware of what happens when you stumble by smoking a cigarette, eating a bag of cookies or skipping your study period. What are the consequences? When tempted think of how it would throw you off track and how hard it might be to get back on. If you get off track get back on as soon as possible.

PROGRAM
Do a weekly review. Determine your next step.

QUESTION
What should I look out for?
