A. Action - Determination

1.) Make a list every day of what you want to get done today. (Be realistic - don't overstrain yourself.) Mix in some good stuff that is fun for you, like working out, watch your favorite show etc.

2.) Appoint a time to each task by when you will have completed it.

3.) Do NOT - repeat DO NOT - go to bed or even to sleep before you have finished off all things on your list.

4.) Congratulate yourself for keeping your word when you have done what you said you would do.

B. Attitude - Perception

1.) Commit yourself to not allow any negative, disempowering thoughts to influence you.

2.) Whenever you catch yourself thinking something negative ("I hate this", "I wish I was somewhere else" etc.), smile (ha, you caught yourself!), and then turn the thought into something empowering: "This is a challenge and I am strong enough to handle it. I can do this. It is not perfect yet, but I am taking action TODAY to get closer to where I want to be. I am grateful for what I have and I work on improving what isn't perfect yet."

3.) Look for clues: What positive things/people/circumstances are in your life? Make a list every day of 5 things that were good today - 5 things you appreciated today. DO NOT go to bed before you have found 5 things to be grateful for. (Be creative - smooth traffic, sun shine, funny joke at work, anything - 5 things is not difficult at all!)
