Hi, I'm Mark Waldman, your resident neurocoach. And I'm here today to address some of the most often asked questions in our community. And one of the most common questions that are asked is, Mark, how do I stop sabotaging my success? There's a very simple formula. First, you need to know what your goal is. Success means There's a specific goal that I want to achieve today. Write down on a sheet of paper with what goal you want to accomplish today. Make sure you write it out. Writing something down on a sheet of paper makes you 50% more effective of achieving that goal. Then write down three ways in which you might sabotage that behavior. Three possible things. Use your imagination. Use your intuition. How might I sabotage myself? After you've written those three things down, write down three things you can do to avoid that sabotage behavior. When you take a goal and you identify a behavior that you have that's contrary to that goal, you can then write down three simple solutions that you can do to make that goal come easier to you. And then at the end of the day, just write down three things you did well that day. Do not focus on your failure. This is Mark Waldman. Have a wonderful day.
