 Make "right decisions" a goal.

Do you set goals and track your progress? It's a well-known fact that you are more likely to reach a goal if you write it down and monitor your growth.

 

If you've been struggling to make good choices, make "making good choices" your goal. Create a chart, and put a star or other positive symbol on the days you make good and healthy choices. By tracking your right decisions, you'll see them increase. 

Action for the day: Make a "right decisions" chart. In your journal, start a list of the right decisions you make. Looking back on the challenges you have overcome will inspire you.

Good to hear from you!  I had forgot about you.  The boards have been slow this summer.  But I have been here.   Keep checking in.

Molly, this is a great idea!  I keep a journal of what I eat, exercise, general activities and mood.  As I look back over the past several months, I've been focusing on the food and exercise and less on what I've been doing right.......time to refocus!
