How To Get Back On Track

Looking for a chance, a reason or maybe even the motivation to start over?

If you have fallen behind with your fat loss plan because of summer holidays or had some major set backs, No Worries!

Starting over is a fact of life!
And you are Absolutely NOT alone in this!

It makes no sense whatsoever to beat yourself up over it or hide behind excuses ~ such choices keep you RIGHT where you are.

If you are ready and willing to make a difference to your results, you can actually turn set backs into something Positive that can actually Benefit you!

Consider this cool Set Back Fact:
Each time you overcome a set back, you have the opportunity to learn more about YOU.

Set Backs are Stepping Stones….not anchors.

You can overcome each and every setback - keeping you moving on the path to self-improvement.

New lessons
New insight
New motivation
New appreciation

You can more effectively manage your “restarts” by embracing that this is a Life Long journey. Setbacks and restarts are bound to happen so you can choose to Minimize the effect by:

~ giving up the “all-or-nothing” mentality
~ getting better at forgiving yourself
~ taking time to reflect

This last one is super important!

How can we ever learn from these experiences - learning that will take us down a much more successful path - if we do not take the time to look back at whatever happened and ask ourselves….

“What could I have done differently?”

How To Get Back on Track and FAST

If you can make the effort to engage in negative self talk, choose to not workout, choose to indulge in a few more “cheats” - and yes, this does take effort -then you have the ability and the power to choose differently.

Action Steps:
Just three…so take them today.

1 ~ Goals
Take the time to write our your goal.

Determine what it is you want and most importantly - WHY you want it. If you already have taken this step- Review them and reconnect with the emotions of WHY you are doing all of this in the 1st place.


2 ~ Write About Your Experience
How freeing it is to write your thoughts and feelings about your set backs??!!

There is something VERY powerful in the written word.

3 ~ Forgive Yourself
As mentioned above, you cannot move on if you are holding on to dis-empowering emotions.
Forgive yourself - you are human and take the next best step!

Don’t let life pass you by!
Make the most of where you are right now and take that Next Best Step Forward!

~ “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. ”
