The first challenge is setting a clear cut goal, the second challenge comes from trying to "fix" everything all at once.
The way to over come the first challenge is to write out what your goal is. Then write out what it will look like and feel like to reach your goal. Last, write out what your reasons will be for not reaching or completing your goal.
The way to over come the second challenge of trying to "fix" everything all at once is to take a very close look at what you just wrote. Then write out all the steps you will need to reach the goal. Clearly define what you find most challenging and what the difficult obstacles will be. Then break them down to one or two week "changes" that are more easily mastered.
Good Luck!!!

I have my goal set. Now if I could only convince my well meaning neighbor that I really can't have coconut cake and peanut butter fudge (both still warm). Grrrr.
Hugs, Joyce
I want Joyces neighbor!!! LOL!!! Thanks for the tip, Rosemary!!

I double that comment from Joann; I want Joyce's neighbor too!
but you are right, Rosemary; great advice; too many people try to fix every single problem they have at once and give up every single bad habit in their attempts to lose 25 pounds in 10 days and they fail; small consistent changes do the best
thanks :)

I'm of the mind for the second part of the challenge. Unfortunately the contractors can't seem to be on the same time line and need to follow the first, set a goal and stick to it. (Hugs)Indigo

Excellent entry, Rosemary. I will do this when I have time. Ya, that is what I keep saying. No, I really have a white notebook set up and everything. I just have to follow through. I will go right now and fill out part of my plan for my exercise program! Thanks for this! While I already understood the concepts, I just needed somebody to say, now go, and carry it out! Sometimes we need that...
Okay, so congrats on being guest editor, and congrats on winning the Weekly Sentence With Val!

I agree! It is along this line that I have been presenting my challenge. If I were to write out the whole plan at once, it would be too overwhelming. I like one step at a time, yet moving forward quickly, some people prefer baby steps. I have to see results and fast to stay motivated. Martha :-)
Congratulations on this week's sentence.
