M.J. Ryan gives 12 tips for us to keep our promises to ourselves!
1. Make it Non-Negotiable - when/how/where is up for negotiation... but not THAT you WILL do it
2. Make it Actionable - No fuzzy-wuzzy things... have a concrete goal and concrete actions to get there
3. Come up with Solutions for your Usual Excuses - create strategies to deal with your usual excuses
4. Use Procrastination to your Advantage - look for real deadlines that will kick you in the butt!
5. Schedule it in - Put it in your daytimer and treat it like an appointment with someone else
6. Do it Daily - Make something part of your regular routine and it will begin to happen naturally
7. Monitor your Behaviour - put it down in writing and keep track
8. Focus on the Horizon - look at how far you've come... not how far you still have to go
9. Take it one Choice at a Time - Make conscious choices, not unconcious reactions... Choose differently
10. Find Someone who's doing what you want and imitate them - find a role model and imitate them
11. Teach it to Someone Else - become a mentor and practice what you preach
12. Treat Yourself Kindly - We're only human... we do the best we can... we screw up... hold yourself in love and treat yourself with kindness.
