How to Become a Better Me (Part 3)

How to Become a Better Me (Part 3)

One thing that you must remember is that you must be willing to work in order to make a really big change. It’s going to be hard but if you are serious you will prevail. You must not be daunted by the task at hand you can do it!! Whatever you do don’t give up. You may have to slow down a little from time to time but don’t quit. There will be good days and bad days. One thing that I have learned is that when things are going good take advantage of the situation and press harder. That way you will have made extra progress when things slow down as they often will.

Keep in mind that you are not Superman so there is no need to feel bad when things go wrong. Something will go wrong from time to time. That’s just a fact of life. You just have to deal with it when they do. You are also not going to see results overnight. I used to train people who were attempting to lose weight and one of the things that I would warn them to do is not to get on the scales. The typical person would want to jump on the scales after every workout. When they saw no progress they would become discouraged.
It takes at least a week of hard dieting to see any results at all and then they will be minimal. Give yourself some time.

It will seem that you are going nowhere some of the time and some of the time that will be true. The key is to concentrate on small pieces of the puzzle. Enjoy your small victories and let them be the springboard to larger things. Learn from your defeats and make adjustments as you go along. Over time you will gain victory over those things which used to defeat you.

All plans go awry sometimes. When I was a Field Artilleryman in the Army we knew that factors outside of our control would interfere with our plans from time to time. I learned to make my plans as detailed as possible and to make sure that all of those under me understood what it was. Whenever I did this we would always overcome the distractions. This type of planning allowed us to take them in style. It really works.

Remember to surround yourself with people who push and motivate you, but at the same time you must learn how to motivate yourself. http://cedricrice-A.webcopycat.com
