you want to set up is a simple tracking and accountability system. You know what will work best for you. The important thing is that you are keeping track and recording your experiences and growth SOMEWHERE. It's been shown that the very act of tracking our behavior significantly improves it.
Some options could be:
A journal where you simply write your thoughts once or twice a day.
A whiteboard or chart where you record progress for categories important to you each day. For instance I rate myself each day from 1 to 3 (1 is bad, 3 is great) on categories such as growth, courage and discipline.
A celebration board/journal/website...really anywhere you can write down your accomplishments. When you write down and celebrate everything great you do you are training yourself to do more great things. Before bed reflect on your accomplishments each day.
In the end the most important thing is to pick a method you'll do and be diligent about. If you find your approach really isn't working it is OK to try another way.
So now that you're tracking your progress there is just one last aspect we need to add: People.
Think of all the good people in your life. If you won the lottery or just landed your dream job, who would you call?
Think of and list the 5 first people you'd call and write their names down somewhere (section 3.3)
Now look over the list and cross out any Debbie Downers. You know the type. You'd be so excited to call them to share the great news and they'd instantly find a way to bring you or the event down.
So cross them out.
Now circle two people from this list whom you most admire.
Once they are circled read on.
Ok now these two people are going to be your support beams, cheer leaders and biggest fans moving forward.
You will:
1) Approach them to share what you're going through and the progress you're making. You'll then ask if they'd be willing to support you through the process by being there to call and discuss failures and accomplishments.
2) You'll then be in contact with them at least once per week to discuss all your successes.
3) When you're not in contact you can still keep them in mind. If you're ever slipping into old patterns you can think of them. You'll naturally live up to their expectations for your success.
