Setting yourself up for success

Hi everyone! I hope you are well. It is very common for us to set goals and make an effort to get things done, counting on our intrinsic motivation and typically will power

Though one must wonder if its really a realistic or fair fight when your environment may not encourage your goals. 

Think of a goal you have and then reflect on one way you can help change your environment to support your goals. 

A good example of it is habit pairing. You pair your new habit with an established one. For example, you take out the trash every morning and now you go for a walk around the block right after. You are out anyways, might as well get the other task done!

You can help yourself by putting your walking shoes right next to the entrance so you don't have to find them. You take the trash, put on your shoes and out you go!
