I don’t know how many times I reached for
this tip sheet because it was very valuable information.
A setback does not mean that you’ve
failed; it just means that you need to start again – immediately.
Learn how to reclaim your routine.
1. Don’t
expect to start where you left off.
2. Evaluate
your current position and set goals accordingly.
3. Come
back to the right frame of mind. Try to
keep confidence in yourself when you relapse.
Instead of expending energy on feeling guilty and defeated, focus on what
it will take to get you started again.
a. Imagine
yourself back on track. Recall the
aspects of your past successes that you enjoy most.
b. Come
up with a tantalizing reward to give yourself when you meet your first goal
after resuming your program.
c. Partner
up.
d. Divide
the overwhelming aspects of your goals into smaller chunks and give yourself
the option of stopping at the end of each one.
However, when you reach the checkpoint, encourage yourself to move on to
the next one rather than quitting.
e. Rather
than focusing on why this is difficult, concentrate on how good you’ll feel
when you get back on track.
Reclaim your physical and emotional
health.
