This story can teach us so much

about patience

about persistance

and about how important the fundamentals are to our success

The fundamentals aka: the basic habits of our plan

If you have a week you don’t lose- please remember the bamboo tree

your week was not for nothing

it was teaching you more about the habits you are creating in order to make a healthier lifestyle a permamnt automatic part of your life

every week following the plan is getting you one week closer to these focuses becoming habits and an automactic part of our day

you have one more week under your belt of implementation

one more week towards creating your ideal life

your ideal lifestyle

and your ideal you

every week it will get easier and easier

until these habits are automatic and will feel essentially effortless

but you gotta do the work upfront to begin the process

to jump start the changes you need

to interrupt your pattern-

and reset your momentum in the right direction

which leads us perfectly into this week’s topic- rewards

part of the best life plan- is to make sure we do not feel deprived

and to HAVE FUN

and if it’s not fun yet- to figure out ways to make it fun

to hack the habit- so to speak

I use rewards to help make my weekly habit fun

and to track my weekly focus

rewards tie something you like or want to your week’s focus or habit

There’s a secret to setting up your rewards-

or at least one I have found that works for me=

reward your efforts

be flexible

and do not expect perfection

and don’t use food as a reward

So instead of saying- if I lose 2 pounds this week I will schedule a manicure

Say- if I implement my focus 5 days this week I will reward myself with a manicure, or make over

whats the difference? You are rewarding your efforts

you arent expecting perfection everyday

when you don’t allowing room for flexibility, your setting up yourself for failure

I know what goes through your head because it went through mine too

your worried it will make you lazy and give you an “out” for not implementing your plan sometimes?

I have found-

no, you will actually be pleasantly surprised that once you remove the guilt for not being perfect

and figure out a way to most of the time stick to your plan, and create these habits-

what you create is a sustainable lifestyle where you allow yourself to be proud of your

efforts, and actually enjoy the process

no one wants to feel guilt or shame. And we avoid it to the point that we quit things we may even enjoy in order to not have to feel it

If you have nothing to avoid- you wont quit

you may take a hiatus every once in awhile-

and that’s ok

but will be happy to come right back- that’s what you want

OK- stay with me here.

What do you associate with vacation?
