The 3Ps of a Successful Lifestyle Change
We have the 3Cs and the 3Gs – now it’s time for the 3Ps!
Planning
It’s important to have a plan if you want to achieve something. It’s great to have a goal such as “to be really fit” but without a plan on how to get there it’s not going to happen.
Maybe you want to change your job to one which is more enjoyable. In order to do this, you need to have a plan. It could go something like this:
- work out what kind of work you would like to do
- do some online courses to get the necessary skills
- look for jobs online and talk to friends to see if they know of any jobs
- apply for the jobs
- go to interviews
- once the job is confirmed hand in notice at current job
Simple, but if each step of the plan is done the goal will be achieved.
Positivity
This is about staying positive even when things aren’t looking so good.
You know the expression “the glass is half empty” compared to “the glass is half full”? Be someone who sees the glass as half full. Find what is positive in the situation, not the negative.
Examples:
Not drinking the 4 Litres of water you planned to do. The positive of this you drank 2 Litres.
You didn’t get the job you wanted. The positive is there are more opportunities out there and you will find one that fits!
Persistence
DON’T GIVE UP! It takes persistence to get things done and to bring about a lifestyle change. Check your goals, review your plans and keep going.
How about this for a personal mantra?
“I PROMISE TO KEEP PERSISTING TOWARD MY GOALS AND WON’T GIVE UP UNTIL I MAKE IT“
