21 days... that's it. I know a lot of us have a tendency to say, "I'm giving up sweets!" or "I'm giving up caffeine!" Then, a week into it, the idea of forever starts to look really daunting and we just give up. Trust me when I tell you, telling yourself that you'll give something up for 21 days is a LOT easier than telling yourself you'll give it up forever. And the really great thing, is that by the time the 21 days is over, your cravings are gone, your body's gotten used to not having it and you don't want it anymore. It's a glorious thing. And you only have to struggle through 21 days.
The 21 day plan is what I use any time I need to make a change. I usually get out a piece of posterboard, draw a calendar and tape it to the fridge, where I can cross off every day as it passes, but it can be cumbersome, and if you're like most people, you probably don't have room on your fridge for a poster. That's why I created a 21 day pocket guide. It's a 46-page pocket guide, that you can order in soft cover or hardcover, with daily inspirational quotes and lined pages to write down what you eat, how much exercise you get and whatever else you do to improve yourself. And each day is numbered, so you know where you are in your commitment. Of course, the icing on the cake is a little congratulations letter from me when you finish logging your 21 days. You can get it from blurb.com starting at $15.00 + shipping and handling.
New Years is fast approaching, and what better way to stick to your resolutions that a log of accountability? :)
