Good planning is the foundation of success for almost any project. Start by getting clear on your goal.

In a place that feels safe and private, constructively express your sadness by allowing yourself to cry. While crying, acknowledge your hurts and losses. Don't indulge any negative thoughts about yourself. Just keep telling yourself, "I'm fine. It's okay to cry. I just feel sad." You'll immediately feel washed clean, even joyful.

Good planning is the foundation of success for almost any project. Start by getting clear on your goal.

Making sweeping statements such as 'no sweets ever again' has never worked before, and it's not going to work now. You'll get quickly overwhelmed and punt on any positive momentum you created.

When you're gripped by anxiety, worry, insomnia, or panic, make yourself shiver, quiver, tremble, and shudder. It seems silly, but it really works.

Your goal should be something that feels really right, not forced. Make sure your goal resonates with what’s true for you.

We have a choice at every moment. We can engage in sadness, anger or fear or we can choose joy, love, and peace.
