How the past can set you up for future success

Ever wish someone could tell you exactly how to reach a goal you’ve set? Great news: You can be that person. Here’s how.

Try this!

1. THINK BACK to the past month or months and reflect on your… Successes & Setbacks. For example, name a success like I started a new activity routine. How did you make it happen? For example: I cut back on TV to go to bed earlier so I can walk before work. How are the changes helping you? I now have more energy and flexibility in my Budget. Now, name a setback, such as: I tend to go over Budget on nights out. What’s getting in your way? Example: It’s hard to navigate so many high-Points® options. How could you alter your approach? Example: Plan to save weekly Points and pre-track my order. 2. LOOK AHEAD to a goal you want to achieve in the next month or so. For example: Meal-prepping low-Points lunches. What obstacles might you face? Example: Lack of time. How will you feel if you succeed? Example: Proud—and glad to have extra Points for nights out. 3. MOVE FORWARD by using a lesson from the past to guide your first step. Example: I’ll rethink how I spend time so I can fit in meal-planning and prep.
