Learn to take real action to achieve real results.
Helen Burton, owner and founder of Love Yourself Coaching and professional life coach, has been effectively assisting individuals to achieve their goals. Her clients are very intelligent and in some ways, have found very creative ways to 'sound' like they are making progress toward their goal, but in essence, they have instituted 'false-starts'.
A 'false start' could look something like this.
• You really want to loose weight. Before you can start watching the food you eat, you have to check your family calendar, (and your work calendar and your kids' calendars…) to see when this plan will fit in your life.
• You want to create better relationships. You "plan" to buy a book and read it IN ITS ENTIRETY, before accepting an invitation that may offer you a new opportunity.
• You want to exercise more. BEFORE you can lace up a new pair of running shoes, you PLAN to listen to a 4 hour CD about the dos and don't of getting in shape.
Clients typically are unaware of their seemingly good intentions. Having a good listener or coach, supporting you, is the best way to help you avoid this common issue.
Helen Burton's SOLUTION:
False starts are nothing more than an excuse or excellent method of procrastination. Eliminate them all. Breathe deep and promise yourself to take a small step TODAY. An example, "I will call my friend and arrange to meet her tomorrow morning at 5:00am to resume our walking regime.
Need a stronger example
Helen's Incentive TIPS:
• Each Morning: Decide the small step you are going to take that day. Give yourself a beautiful gift of practicing the same step until you feel comfortable.

• At Night: Acknowledge yourself for your accomplishments and create a very simple action plan. lessons learned.
Reminder: Review the action plan and adjust your small steps where needed. Work with a friend or join a support group so you receive and feel supported for each milestone accomplished.
Action Step: Now it's your turn!
