° Establish concrete behavior change you can make to reach that goal each day. Identify at least one step you can take each day to move close to your goal.

° Anticipate obstacles along the way. Make plan for how you will respond to specific challenges that you are likely to encounter. Planning ahead can help you stay on track.

° Monitor your progress. Determine how you will keep track of your progress. Keeping a record of your efforts and daily achievements can help you stay motivated to maintain changes.
