Summon the power of ‘aha!’ with these surefire ways

-

1. Be clear about your goal. Use your ‘aha!’ to guide what you want to tweak and bring you closer to your vision. Writing it down and telling others will help strengthen your resolve. 2. Know your ‘why’. Make your own list of reasons why change is a great idea and keep it handy to reread in times of low motivation. The more personal, the better.

3. Keep tabs. Honestly monitor the habits you want to change (no underestim­ating!).

4. Record your progress. Count every win, both big and small, and constantly remind yourself that relapses are a normal part of rewiring your brain.

5. Turn a setback into a comeback. Remind yourself it’s all about growth, not instant perfection. Imagine how you will feel when you’ve accomplish­ed your goal, and keep moving towards it.
