Don’t underestimate the power of the mind. Focus instead on
making good choices each day, and taking small steps forward. It is
better to take baby steps than one giant leap and land in the mud.

Small steps, as long as you are moving forward, are essential to
success.

Goal setting

Another important aspect to your journey is to set some goals.
While it is okay to have long-range goals, you must also have short-
term, achievable goals that you celebrate along the way. So, if your
biggest hang-up is getting rid of chips and eating more vegetables,

make this a goal.

When you find yourself no longer wanting chips and happily
munching on a bag of organic carrots, it is time to celebrate. If

exercise is hard for you, set a goal to walk every day for two weeks.
When you reach this goal, take the time to celebrate.

Pay attention to the things that you are accomplishing, no matter

how inconsequential they may seem. It all counts, and each goal
you achieve spawns a new goal as you move forward towards
better health.
