January is the month of resolutions and new goals so I thought I would talk about failure. It is at about this time (3 weeks into the year) that most people give up their New Year’s Resolutions. If you have done my New Year’s Evolution program you may not have this problem! If you are struggling or have already given up, take heart. This is more common than you realize. Most people fail a couple of times before they are successful. For example, most people do not quit smoking just once, they quit a couple of times before they are successful non-smokers. Most people do not just find the right diet the first time they try one. They try numerous diets, fail, regain the weight and then try another until they find the one that they can live with and that works with their body and personality. So whether you have quit or are ready to quit, this does not mean you are a failure or that you will never reach your goal. All it means is that the particular method you are using may not be right for you. Try a different method or strategy and see if that works any better. Look at it as an experiment. If this experiment did not work for you, for whatever reason, try something else instead. By experimenting you are never failing and always trying other methods until you get it the way you want it.

I am doing this right now with my schedule and I keep tweaking it, trying to get the right mix of working out, being a mother, running a coaching business, writing a book, having a social life, etc. and get the results I want. When I get it just right, I’ll let you know!

Warmest,
Talane
