Experiments

1. Be an observer. Practice self-awareness when implementing your goals. Throughout the week, ask yourself questions such as, "Did I set myself up for success? Were my goals realistic? What could I have done differently?"
2. Anticipate challenges. Think through your day or week ahead and devise an "if-then" plan. For example: If my work meeting runs late and I miss my yoga class, then I will do a workout DVD after dinner.
3. Practice self-compassion. When you experience a setback this week, view it as a learning opportunity and move on by telling yourself, "This is just one step in my journey. I will have more chances to make good choices."
