Let’s play with examples. What might be a disempowering belief behind my exercise example? What thoughts or stories might be transparently shaping your inability to stick to an exercise program?

I can’t follow through anything Exercise is hard and I hate it There’s not enough time

Once limiting thought is revealed, now what?

3. Build a positive case for yourself

After revealing belief, it's important that you find out what's true about you and your life. You need to inquire to discover if your beliefs are real obstacles or if they’re just a product of old thought patterns. Go back to exercise example. “I don’t follow through on anything.” Is that true? Can you find examples of where you have followed through on something? If so, make a list that disqualifies this particular belief. This process will help you build a more positive case for your own success, and when you notice yourself slipping into old thought pattern, you can shift to what's true something more true and much more positive. It’s really a matter of building new thinking habits and practicing them.

When you get to truth, you feel better. In example, all energy tied up in resisting exercise can now go into exercising.

4. Make a plan and take action

Here’s where rubber meets road. All inspiration and awareness will only go so far. Who hasn’t had experience where you get inspired about something and go off to accomplish it only to lose steam and give up on your dream or project?

That’s where having a solid plan comes in, an action plan. Write out steps of your plan. Be specific.

An important part of designing a successful action plan is building an accountability structure. When you’re accountable to specifics or someone else you have a better chance of following through with what you say you want.

This brings us to last step.

5. Create a circle of support

We all need support. Often difference between getting successful results and not, depends on how well supported you are.

I was just working with a client who wanted to introduce a new routine into her life. She questioned her ability to stick to it. When I asked her what in past helped her stay on track with something new she said, “Telling someone my plan made me more accountable. By speaking my intention out loud made it harder to just blow it off”. Then I asked her whom she would tell about her new plan. She decided to tell her husband and use him for her accountability. You could take it a step further and ask person to periodically check in with you how you are doing with your commitment. Now, that’s support.

A circle of support can mean a lot of different things. It can be your partner, your best friend, colleagues at work, or your family. Meaningful support can be any or all of these people, more support you have better. The only critical distinction is that you are supported for YOUR agenda, not supporters.

Establishing and calling on your "circle of support" will help you sustain yourself through all of life through challenging times and through great times.

Why not give this strategy a try. Begin to thrive in your life. I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback and successes. Email me at mailto:helaine@pathofpurpose.com

So, in this way, both of us are happy because we only need to buy one book, but we get to read 2 books.

4. Donate it

Look at your book shelf. Are there any books that you don’t read anymore? Rather than leaving it there, why not donate it to library or charity, where you can help someone else?

This will help 2 types of people; those who really want to read but do not have money to buy and those who have money to buy, but did not see value in books so they never did buy.

5. Take action and practice.

I've seen so many people buy books and complete reading it but they never take any action of what they've learned. You have to understand that, no matter how much you understand or learned, if you do not take action, you'll never going to get results.

After you have taken action, you’ll have to practice it consistently to master knowledge.

A self improvement book invested will bring you many fold of knowledge in return as long as you make full use of it.

Don't waste a book by tossing it away half completed. Go check on your book shelf to see if there is any books of yours that had been neglected. If it’s a good book that you had read before, make it a point to read it again.

If it is not doing anything there, think again what you can do with it in next 5 minutes.
