When these row in favor of the specific objectives that we set for ourselves, pave the way to successhelping us to enjoy the process and making us feel good at all levels.

Define one or more specific goals

It is important that in order to establish habits that bring you closer to the goal you are pursuing, you know exactly where do you want to go. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to draw the right path day by day. For example, you should know if your goal is to lose weight, improve your physical capacity, some specific aspect of your health, undertake a project, do that sports event that excites you so much, take an important exam, take an opposition, win a career, eradicate some mental block that makes you uncomfortable, etc. If your goals are not one, but several, you should bet on different habits. Now ask yourself: what do I want to achieve?

That is why you must “draw” a kind of line or limit and once you are ready to move towards your goal, do not allow yourself to go back beyond this imaginary line. You have to listen to the body and the mind and satisfy their needs, that is true, but it is even more important to know when it is fears, insecurities or excuses that speak. If what is holding you back are these last circumstances, go beyond them and do not let them stop you. we must try not be our own enemiesbut embrace change.
