How To Take Action
A good way of doing things is to stick with your original plan, even when it gets hard. Here's how:
- Write down your plan and put it somewhere you can see every day. This keeps your goal in front of you.
- When you feel like giving up, remember: it's normal to feel bad when times are tough. But don't quit!
- Talk to someone who has done what you're trying to do. They can remind you that sticking to the plan works.
- Every morning, ask yourself, "What's one thing I can do today for my plan?" Then do it. This keeps you moving forward.
- If you think about changing your plan, wait. Don't do it right away. Give it time and keep working on your plan.
- Celebrate small wins. When you complete a part of your plan, take a moment to feel good about it. This will help you keep going.
Remember, your plan is probably good enough. The tough part is to keep going, even when you don't want to. That's what leads to success. Stick with it!
