Recommitment(DW #821)
We have been discussing how even with much motivation and inspiration at the beginning, there WILL be times when we fail to live up to our commitments to ourselves or fall short of the standards we set for ourselves.
So then what?
Once we spend a few minutes reminding ourselves that we are human and that self-compassion will get us further than self-criticism, it is time to RECOMMIT.
Again. And again. And again.
Just like the pilot that we discussed, keeps coming back on track after drifting, we remind ourselves of our path and get back on track.
Here are the steps:
Step 1. The destination/goal/target needs to be clear of course
Step 2. Remind yourself about the WHY. Why is this important? Why are you on this journey? What does it mean to you?
When we forget our why, we lose our way.
Step 3.Commit to the process. 100%.
Step 4. Take action. Get in motion. Keep taking baby steps. Consistently. Diligently. And persistently.
Step 4. AND mentally Recommit when you find yourself losing that initial burst of commitment, motivation or inspiration.
Step 5. Follow up the mental recommitment with ACTION. The sooner the better.
Congratulations. You are now back on track.
