(Doll’s weekly thoughts on goals, starting over and success!)
Monday is the most popular day to re-start programs. This goes for exercise, diets and other self-improvement ideas. We’ve all been there. We start on Monday. Then, by Friday, we wonder what happened to take us so far off track.
Here are some thoughts to help all of us enjoy our successes at the end of the Week.
-
Begin at the finish line!
I am very happy with the work I do with The Raw Divas. My goal is to be a successful businesswoman. I need to set the stage. Last week Nick helped me buy and put together this great office set up. There is no reason to wait until I am successful. The time is now!
-
Plan for success
In my planning for success I’ve placed only those things that are necessary for my work on and around my desk. I decided that distractions where not helping me to get the work done. You all know what I mean. Dishes and nick-knacks do not belong.
-
Set an attainable goal
I’d love to set a goal of writing 3 hours every day. That’s just not possible for me. But, if I set a goal of 15 min, twice a day I can get the work done and feel like I’ve accomplished something.
-
Reward yourself
I work really well with tangible gifts. Finish a project? Try a spa treatment, new scarf or even a star on your calendar. Make it fun!
-
Think in the present tense
No more do I say, “I will finish this on time” or “I will have this piece published someday”. I make statements for today. I am writing 15 minutes today. My published article is informative and fun. Be positive and specific.
These 5 points can be used in terms of your food planning, exercise schedule, or your over all health and happiness. Living a Raw Food Lifestyle is planned for and something to be enjoyed. See yourself as healthy, fit, glowing and filled with energy!
Make this Monday your special Do-Over day! Create a commitment or goal that works for you. Sweet Diva, you can take on the world. One do-over at a time!
With love and warm hugs

Isn’t it amazing how simple steps can keep us so on track?
Thanks for the reminder to set small, achievable goals!
