After you have implemented some positive habits and maybe you have even impressed yourself by what you can do – you must keep the momentum. It is possible that even after you have pushed the limits there is the chance you could go back to your old habits.

Keep your commitment so that you will steadily grow. Fight off discouragement and the temptation to give up. Let me share with you some strategies to help you keep the momentum.

Keep in mind that your new lifestyle is a ‘process’. Along the way with regular exercise you start to feel good, get energized and your self-esteem will rise along with your self-confidence. You will start to lose weight and begin to look better than ever.

But watch out, there are roadblocks along the way. Things that are unforeseen in life may pop up and throw you off the new healthy road you’re traveling. Many of these things are unavoidable and are just a part of how life is. However, you can begin now to prepare for some of the challenges that will come your way.

One thing you could do right now is make a list of different things or

circumstances that might get in the way of your new habits and motivation. Prepare yourself with a backup plan.

For example, if you plan to workout at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday. and Friday and you want to walk, jog or ride a bike on the other days you can also switch up if the weather prevents one or the other.

You can also switch up if you have to work late or if an emergency comes up. Set up an alternate schedule and stick to it. Also, when you are going out of town plan in advance for your meals and exercise schedule. This will help you stay in rhythm and keep the momentum going.

Keep in mind there are many other factors that can cause you to lose your momentum besides scheduling issues. Stop and think about it: What is it, really, that gets in your way? What things typically distract you, dampen your spirits or throw you off track? Is there anything you can identify that prevents you from staying the course?

Perhaps you struggle with unrealistic goals, work addiction, or self- defeating beliefs. All of these are familiar and powerful momentum killers. Here are

some pointers to help you build and maintain maximum momentum.

Stand up for yourself - Weak boundaries can make implementing positive

habits especially challenging. For example, I’ve heard many people say, “I’m influenced by my friends. They often persuade me to eat junk food.”

If someone you know often undermines your efforts to get in shape, it’s time to stand up for yourself. Make it clear that you are determined to succeed and you would like the support of the people around you. Specify what kinds of support you wish to receive, then stand firm and refuse to allow anyone to disrupt your momentum.

Reaffirm Your Commitment — One of the best ways to reaffirm your

commitment to your positive habits is to write down a list of all the reasons WHY you want to accomplish these habits. Write a list for each positive habits. For example, if one of your habits is to go to the gym or exercise at least 3-5 times a week, then write down a list of reasons WHY you want to do this and how it will improve your life. Your list should ideally contain 50 items, and certainly no less than 20. Then print out or post this list somewhere where you can see it, and refer to it regularly.

Find out what your momentum busters are. There are certain situations that

make us fall off the wagon. They are different for everybody. For example, for me, going on a vacation is terrible for my exercise routine. That’s why I’m working on a 15-minute back-up plan I can follow anywhere in the world when I’m traveling. So short of doing by full routine, all I have to commit too is a 15- minute travel routine, and this keeps me fit.

By writing down every day 5 things that you would have done differently, you’ll see some patterns as far as what your momentum busters are. Once you’ve identified them, make sure you have a plan to avoid running in the same situation in the future.

Another very important factor in keeping the momentum is to find fun in your new lifestyle. Now that you are feeling better and moving better due to the healthy changes you have made you are ready to discover or re-discover the fun aspects of being physically fit. Identifying activities that bring you joy will strengthen your resolve and help you sustain momentum as you strive to improve your health. Try doing something new and exciting:

" Run on the beach or along a river at sunset or sunrise with your friend or dog.

" Learn to golf, or Rollerblade, ice skate, rock climb or cross-country ski. " Join a baseball, hockey, soccer or basketball league for adults.

" Train to enter a road race or to improve your performance in a particular sport.

" Enter a charity marathon

" Take dance classes (aerobic, ballroom, tap, line, folk, salsa or swing). " Play jump rope, street hockey or capture-the-flag with your kids. " Row a boat or paddle a kayak or canoe on a scenic pond or lake. " Play tennis, racquetball or Frisbee in the park.

" Try a new, healthy recipe.

However you do it, keep the momentum going. Find those every day very do- able things that help you stay motivated. Remember the role that positive personal relationships play in your overall health and well-being. Ask you significant others to help you maintain your positive habits. Remember, this is a process. A day by day, week by week, month by month, ongoing process to improve the quality of the rest of your life.
