Giving yourself leeway lets you have successes and make it through not so great days. Your suggestion sounds similar to what the book covered. Great tip, Robin.

I have many books that I call reference books -- these include quotes and other books that I can just go to when I need the information or inspiration. I agree, Liara.

When wanting to change something, after starting small, allow yourself to record the change, shooting for 90 days... BUT, and here is the kicker, those 90 days don't have to be in a row. So if you fall off the wagon for five days, you still know you are reaching your goal, and you don't have to punish yourself by starting over. Second idea, tag three things together, two of which you already do. Shower, early morning twitter, and 20 minutes on the glider works for me... the glider part is part of the system over time...and that is supported by other parts of the system. Hugs to all!

In researching motivational books, I discovered people rarely sit down and read inspirational books from cover-to-cover precisely because they would prefer to digest topics or pieces alone. Quote books are often opened at random pages as a way to provoke thought or to enable a person to get in touch wih his or her intuition. In essence, at a given moment, every person has a reason for picking up a particular book. Yet, that does not mean you are consciously aware of your own motive. You may simply listen to your instinct and leave it at that. <abbr><em>Liara Covert´s last blog post... <a href="http://blog.dreambuilders.com.au/journal/2009/2/25/25-ways-to-stimulate-consciousness.html" rel="nofollow">25 Ways to stimulate consciousness</a></abbr></em> It is remarkable how reading one book draws your attention to certain ideas or, compels you to devise some of your own.
