how to implement satisfying substitutions

uplifting balance and inspirational discipline.

i dedicate this tip to all you darlings in search of a rewarding lifestyle.

<3 visualize. what is your dream lifestyle? in this desired life, how do you feel? how do you act?

<3 reflect. which habits do you already have that align with your goals? take note -- do not alter these helpful routines. in which behavior do you currently partake that contradicts your dream lifestyle? take note -- you will work to change these habits.

<3 brainstorm. in what ways can you meaningfully enact change in your current routine? how have you organized your life until now? have you been passive or purposeful?

<3 set intentions that mix journey with destination. "i devote myself to [insert substitution] to [insert lifestyle goal]." understand that you will experience setbacks along your path of self-improvement. know that you can and will overcome these obstacles -- enjoy the adventure.

<3 begin. there is no time better than the present. discipline will aid you immensely as you traverse these newly charted territories. incorporate positive affirmations on good days and worse days. create routine.

the best substitutions are realistic, gradual, and deliberate. want to [insert activity that requires certain clothing] more? set the specific outfit by your dresser the night before. wish to consume [insert drink/food] more/less? reserve a visible spot in the pantry or the counter/make the product less conspicuous or remove entirely.

your mind and body are powerful because of you. you dictate your path. you have the power.

dear darling,

i continue to plod towards my goals even as the journey tires me. forging a more productive routine proves cumbersome but i persist.

cultivating such habits will bring my soul peace. even now, the endeavor alone generates peace in my mind. i know i am doing whatever i can to reach my goals. i know i exist in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing.

please give me strength to continue my self-healing.

dear darling,

today has born fruit. my dedication has prevailed and i advance towards my goals.

in moments of mental weakness i remind myself of my objectives. i allow pride of my progress to flow through my veins. i anticipate the pride of accomplishment.

i breathe in and out and remind myself why i feel.

guide to living entry xxiv.

dear darling,

i thrive even in my stressful atmosphere as i exert self-discipline. over the past few days i have never felt better. accomplished, motivated, happy.

while nerves and sadness peak in every few hours my self-induced motivation has helped usher these negative sentiments away. i feel more in control than i have since months past.

i picture myself achieving my goals and work towards that mental image.

please give me strength.
