"Help - how do I get / stay motivated ?" ~ be your own coach!

Motivate yourself .........

Founder Jane is a qualified coach. She recommends asking yourself the following questions using her copyright model BEING ©

B - base - where am I now on my journey ?

E - envisage where you want to be - make this an inspirational picture,

imagine congratulating yourself or others congratulating you on your

progress

I - why is achieving this important to you ? How will you feel when you get

there ? What can you do to keep yourself motivated ?

N - next steps - what steps might help you make this journey ?

G - which of these potential steps are you going to do ? Which ones (s) can

you do today ?

Self coaching planner form available here

Remember - start today - don't delay and taking small steps is better than taking no steps!
