Changes Takes Time. Change is a process, not an immediate outcome. It takes one year for a change to become a habit.
Stages:
1 CONTEMPLATE: You start thinking about your goals, but still seems unachievable.
2 RE-FRAME: You start saying, "This is going to happen. I can make this work"
3 PLAN: Convert desires into specific, realistic actions you can take.
4 COMMIT:You make a real commitment to your goals + plans.
5 TRY + FAIL: You begin to make changes but are inconsistent; you fall back into old patterns.
6 RECOMMIT: You remind yourself of your goals, your plan, and your belief that you are capable of success. You start again.
7 HABIT: You consistently change your behavior!!
Turning Failure into Success: "Change how you think about failure."
"Sometimes, 'failures' turn out to be fortunate; force you to re-examine your goals, decisions + methods. To be able to then choose to take a different-better-path/deal."
