Goals + FUN = Life Improvement

I read a great statement, “Self-control is not about constantly resisting temptation or depriving oneself. Rather, self-control is about shaping our environment and making it easier to follow through on our desired habits."

So, what are 3 simple ways we can begin to “reshape” our environment:

1. Pair a pleasurable activity with the new habit you want to create. I want to exercise. I like playing golf. I will walk instead of riding a cart once a week. 
2. To be terrific, be specific. Plan specific times/activities that support your new habit goal.  I will walk 9 holes of golf every Tuesday after work. 
3. Remind yourself of the benefits. I am getting exercise while improving my golf game, AND walking 9 holes is only $12 and riding is $32.  I’m saving $$. 

Write down things you enjoy and then see how you can tie your new habits and goals to the activities on your list.  Your DREAM4 Coach is ready to step in and help you think through enjoyable ways to improve your life.
