"Employ the power of positive quitting. Most of us view quitting as something negative, but it's not. 'Winners never quit,' we're told, when, in reality, winners quit all the time: choosing to stop doing things that aren't creating the results they desire. When you quit all the things that aren't working for you, when you quit tolerating all the negative things that hold you back, you'll create a positive 'charge' in your life as well as create the space in your life for more positive experiences."
-- Jim Allen, Inspirational Speaker, Author and Life Coach

Questions to ponder:

• What's not working in your life? In what way is it holding you back?
• What negative things are you committed to quitting?
• What is your goal?
• What is your first step toward this goal?
• What are you committed to do this week to work toward your goal?
  

Call to Action:

• Choose one thing to quit (dont' overwhelm yourself trying to change more than one area of your life at a time).
• Using the "S.M.A.R.T. goal" formula (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Reasonable & Timed), write down your goal -- what specifically are you going to do & by when, how to measure your success, is it achievable & reasonable for you to set this goal
• Decide the first step you can take this week
• Share your goal & action plan with someone (your friend, family, life coach)-- telling someone about your goal firms up your commitment and hold you accountable, so you're more likely to do it
• You're welcome to send me an email or call me to share your goal, and let me know how I can support you
• Share your success stories!
