Now, you're actually doing what you said you would.
As you're doing it, you're probably assailed by all kinds of negative
thoughts, fears, doubts. They are part of the process: a normal resistance
to change. What do you expect? If it was easy, you'd have done it before.
The more you're aware of this, the more you can go on despite the resistance.
The more specific your plan, the easier it is to follow. This is a
good time to adjust your plan to be more specific (e.g. "exercising
on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at lunch", as opposed to "3
times a week").
What it takes to make this stage work:
- You treat your goals as a priority, so you don't get sidetracked by
all the excuses that will inevitably come your way.
- You plan for some rewards to yourself as you go along. You're not
celebrating the big success prematurely, you're just acknowledging success
in each little step.
The next stage is "Keep at it".
