Time flies even if you‘re not having fun. You know being “challenged.” But you can succeed with a “that’s the spirit” attitude.
60 days done, 30 more to go. Perfect time for a mini evaluation.
Do you have one of these three results so far?
-1- Definitely on Track and will meet your challenge. Nothing need be said. Finish strong. You may even choose to step it up and surpass your goal. Share your strategy with us.
-2- Average Results to date. You made progress but probably won’t hit your target. Perfectly acceptable. Keep working and Finish strong. You can readjust your goal so in the end you will achieve a success by the end of the challenge.
-3- Whoa, what happened? You are so far off track, you’re embarrassed. But don’t be ashamed, totally discouraged or fall into serious negative self talk. None of these attitudes or beliefs will help you succeed during the next 30 days or your next challenge.
Take time to figure out where you went wrong. This is definitely a journal opportunity, if you can even find it.
First, make a list of ALL the reasons you got off track, for instance time management, lack of motivation, wrong choice, etc. Remember if you don’t know what’s broke you can’t fix it.
Is there a common denominator in your lack of progress?
Did you choose too big a goal?
Did you choose the wrong challenge?
Were you unrealistic in your goal considering what else was happening in your life this summer?
There is always something to learn from failures? What is yours?
The important thing now is to simply “Begin Again.”
Reset a more manageable “30 day goal“. Don’t quit on yourself. Identify one thing you will do every day for the next 30 days.
The 10 minute a day process is a great technique to use. Surely you can commit to 10 minutes a day to adopt a new habit or eliminate an old one.
This is a chance for a new beginning. Will you accept the challenge?
