To Increase Self Control

  • Use resources and rewards to advance goals
  • Your mind can be changed if rewards and resources such as time are used to succeed in your goals
  • Spend time on working on the goals
  • Dedicate time to thinking and talking about them
  • Give up other things so you can have money to spend on your plan
  • Develop rewards for yourself that have meaning such as a new dress when you have clocked 10,000 miles on your pedometer
