WHAT IS YOUR 1%

When we are attempting to change, it may be overwhelming in the beginning.  We look at where we are at now and where we want to go and realize that it is a LONG WAYS AWAY.

It is hard to take steps forward when you can't see the finish line and sometimes it takes all the wind out of your sails.  Yes, I'm talking to you.

In order to help push you towards the finish line you need to shift your focus and try to work on being 1% better than you were yesterday.  So what does that 1% entail?  It means eating one less candy bar, or taking 2 more minutes to stretch, maybe it means practicing two more free throws.

Whatever your 1% is, focus on that and not the entire goal that you have in front of you.  The only way that you are going to finish this journey is one step at a time, so why not focus on the steps that are directly in front of you today.

2.  Break that down into quarterly milestones and write down a goal to be completed by March 31st of this year
3.  Look at that goal and determine what action you can take today, NOT TOMORROW but today, and work on that
4.  Tomorrow, achieve 1% more than you did today
