It’s Not About Avoiding Mistakes

Summary

• When you plan to lose weight, think about events like vacations, weddings, and birthdays and decide how you will handle them because life often doesn't go as planned.
• Success in reaching your goals isn't about being perfect, it's about how you deal with mistakes and obstacles that come up.
• Plan methodically for challenges you might face; if you don't prepare, you're more likely to make poor decisions when those challenges arise.
• Accept that life is imperfect for everyone, and success comes from strategizing on how to navigate through the imperfections.

How To Take Action

A good way of doing something is to expect bumps along the way. Just like when you're trying to lose weight, you need to plan for special days. Think about those days ahead of time, so you won't get thrown off track.

I would suggest listing all the events in your life, like vacations and birthdays. Decide what you'll do when you can't keep to your usual routine. Maybe you can pick healthier food options or decide to only have a small slice of cake. Having a plan is key!

Success isn't about being perfect, it's about what you do when things don't go your way. If you make a mistake or something unexpected happens, don't worry. Think about what you can do next time to keep moving forward.

I would also recommend thinking about the challenges you might face. Say, you know that when you're tired, you don't like to cook. Plan for this by having healthy ready-to-eat meals at home. This way, you won't make bad food choices when you're tired.

Remember, everyone's life is full of surprises and imperfections. Success comes from how you deal with those, not from having a perfect life. Plan for the imperfections and you'll be more successful.
