PURPOSE: WHY we want to make change is critical
INTENTION: Unclear intent will not lead to change
INSIGHT: What beliefs do we hold that block change? How do we shift them?
SELF-COMPASSION: Change is slow and hard; when we get impatient with ourselves, or demoralized on the process, we can give up.
SELF-RESPONSIBILITY: Tied closely to insight, holding yourself accountable to your goals helps you face both internal and external obstacles.

GOALS: Once you have clear intentions, turn them into goals.
COMMITMENTS: Only make commitments you can keep; so keep them small and manageable to facilitate success, as success sustains motivation and builds confidence.
PRACTICES: Change requires the conscious repetition of new behaviors…until they too become habit.
FEEDBACK: Provide yourself regular feedback and track progress
SUPPORT: Don’t do it alone – mobilizing support networks, utilizing training and coaches helps shape new habits
