I met with Liz, one of my very special mentoring clients this week and what Liz shared with me was so powerful that I had to write about it to share her life-changing experience. 

 Liz is a married mother of three boys.  Along with running a busy household, Liz is in the middle of completing a University degree, renovating her home and has a very full lifestyle. When Liz started her mentoring program she was highly stressed, unhappy and felt that she was even close to some sort of breakdown. 

Self-discipline is the key to achieving your goals and dreams.  Whether you want to lose weight, improve nutrition, exercise, quit smoking, create wealth, pay off debt, complete work tasks… and the list goes on.  Doing what it takes to achieve these things can sometimes seem inconvenient, or too hard.  That’s where your friend self-discipline comes in.  It teaches you to be responsible, creates good behaviours and ensures you get what you want.

Developing habits of any sort, career or personal, requires consistent, repetitive behaviour to allow the habits to form. During all my years of coaching, the clients that have seen the best, longer term results are those that have been consistent in their actions and the process – thereby creating successful habits.  This applies to any goal -  weight loss, healthier eating, better sleep patterns, smarter work practices, etc.

If you watch or listen to the news then you’d be aware of the daily reports on what the media tell us to be the latest threats to our lives.

Ebola, is the latest example. There’s been no incidence of it in Australia, yet due to the coverage given by the media it’s got everyone’s attention and some people are running scared – even though there is no immediate threat.

A threat for everyone that is actually more real and ever present is an unhealthy lifestyle.
