How often do we just bumble on through life accepting what we have as ‘our lot’ or ‘our destiny’?

Even better than this, we allow ourselves to blame others, for example:

• “If it wasn’t for Steve/Susie, I’d have done this years ago”
• “My grandad always said our family was never any good at sport”
• “We’ve always been a ‘big’ family, none of us can lose weight”
• “My husband/wife’s the computer expert, I’m useless with them”
• “The government should do more to help me stop smoking” (11th March National No Smoking Day!)

It takes a strong person to take a look in the mirror and see that the person in control is you - often we feel out of control and feel we have no choices…this is not true….we humans have infinite control and can allow ourselves to make the right choices.

So, what can you do to change things?

1. Start by setting yourself the goal(s) you want to achieve - be really specific
2. Then take a good look at where you are now in relation to your goal(s)
3. Identify what gets in your way - how can you overcome these things?
4. Next take it in bite size chunks and check in with yourself along the way
5. Praise yourself for your successes and challenge yourself through your barriers
6. Most of all - give yourself permission to BELIEVE IN YOU!

I wish you the very best of luck…reach for the moon, the very least you’ll do is to land among the stars!
