It’s not easy trying to do something and finding out that you failed at it. When you look back at it, it looks like a waste of time.

Alas, no! It’s not!

When you fail at something, you have the opportunity to see WHY you failed and what should have happened in order for you to have succeeded. Once you understand this, or even if you haven’t failed but are just about to start working on your goal, map out your game plan.

1. Start out with a clear idea of what you want to do…and limit it to ONE thing at a time. Don’t try to do everything at once. It won’t work. Keep focused on on item at a time and you’ll see how much easier things become.

2. Make your goal time-specific…but don’t be unreasonable. Start with short-term goals and then progress to long-term goals. Keep it simple - ‘I don’t drink water at all and I know I need it for my health and it will also help clear up my skin. Okay..in two weeks, I need to be drinking at least 2 cups of water a day without fail. Two weeks after that, I need to be drinking 4 cups of water without any problem..’, so on and so forth.

3. Write it down and stay committed!! Keep a journal, write it on post-it notes and stick them everywhere, keep a calendar and track your progess, say your goal outloud every morning for motivation….the decision is yours, but stay firm and don’t let anythig shahe your resolve!
