1) Enlist the help of a professional therapist to help you uncover sabotaging self-talk
2) Cut out pictures from a magazine that represent what you want and post them where you see them often
3) Talk to yourself in encouraging ways. Be your own cheerleader.
4)  Set small, incremental goals and then focus on your small victories as they happen
5) Don’t let your mistakes discourage you! Get back up.

The basic rule for goal setting is that the goal must be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound.  Goals must also come from a positive and self-loving stance in order to bring lasting satisfaction. Set goals in each area of life: Career, Relationship, Health, Service, Spirituality, and so on. Word your goals in positive terms. (mindtools.com

1. Successful people have  a SPIRITUAL OR MEDITATIVE PRACTICE

Success in life encompasses MUCH more than finances! Relationships, health, peace of mind, the ability to give and receive all contribute to a successful time on earth. If one of your “life areas” is out of balance, then all the money or health in the world won’t make up for it. Successful people can be happy alone as well as with a mate. (Psychology Today)

I have the greatest admiration for people who bring their lives to therapy. For those willing to invest their time and resources, you can experience the most deeply rewarding changes of your life. I can help you learn to say “no” when needed, help you recover from painful breakups, parent your children, overcome depression, and many other issues.
