- Don’t get stuck thinking about what you can’t do – remember and celebrate what you CAN do.
- Having something to look forward to each day gives me impetus. (goal setting)
- Dreams can become reality – or at least bits of them can! So dream of what you want to do and go for it…..
- Remember the Tortoise and the Hare story – go canny to win!
- There is always something you can do – remember wee steps to success.
- Remember the less you do – the less you want to do!
- Tiredness can be your body telling you to get up and do something.
- Doing things with someone helps – you promise to do it – so you stick to the plan as you don’t want to let them down!
