And when you change that “grocery store” recognize the positive change with a celebration – you’re the only one who understands the significance and can make the outcome all you need it to be.

I recently joined your group on Facebook. I just want to say AWESOME! Thank you for existing. As I read your post, I was present to the fact that in order to move forward and produce the life of my dreams I focus on specific goals and let go of the worries of how to get there. But just floating along, not aiming towards something in the future, I am sure to end up floating downstream of the unknown with no particular destination.

Thank you. I am going to post your blog on my website today and give credit you.

Steve,

I couldn’t agree more! In my work I see the biggest difference between those who create large scale success and those who don’t is habit – or to use an unloved word discipline. I see people every day with as much talent, ability and opportunity as those in very high places but the difference is harnessing it effectively. To help my clients, I advocate pairing a new activity, thought pattern or emotional response to something you do everyday. This helps reinforce the new behavior consistently, which helps improve success. Thanks for sharing – you are absolutely spot on in my experience!

I believe behaviors are the hardest human condition to address. We will fail more than we will succeed. With that said, understanding how to be kind and patient with yourself is a virtue. As we are with children, we should treat ourselves the same. We all know our downfalls, finding ways to change the behavior for the better, even in small doses, is better than not changing or sliding back into destructive patterns.

I agree! Sometimes it’s easier for me to change my thoughts, than what actually comes out of my mouth when speaking with friends. I am now practising changing what I say in conversation with others. I’m also giving myself a break if I accidently revert back. I can always make a second statement to correct the first thing that comes out of my mouth, if I need to. Thank you for your reminders – they start my day off right!
