Independence Month

Hey America,

Happy Independence Month!  Are you still feeling oppressed by the battles in your life that you just can’t conquer?  It’s about time to get sick of that and do something about it, don’t you think?  Whatever it is you’re battling, you can overcome it!  How?  Well, I’m glad you asked.  By deciding what it is you want and then stopping at nothing to get it.  REFUSE to live this way any longer!  Here are some ideas to get you started.

1. Make a written commitment, your own personal Declaration of Independence. 

2. Post your commitment somewhere where you’ll see it constantly, like the fridge or the bathroom mirror.  Out of sight, out of mind, right?

3.  Make a list of goals with reasonable time frames to accomplish them.  Enlist some help if you need to.  A person nicely motivating you will help you press on when you don’t feel like it anymore.

4.  Schedule time in each day to work on your goals.  Treat the time you schedule like it was an important appointment and don’t miss it. 

5.  When you reach a goal, write down the date and reward yourself for a job well done. 

When you look back on all you’ve accomplished, you’ll be able to enjoy a sense of pride.  You might also see that what you thought would take you months to finish only took weeks.
