Be aware of your "recurring" thought behavior

Do you find yourself repeating the same promises to yourself over and over again - only to encounter failure?  This is what I call "recurring" thought behavior. If this sounds familiar, sit down when you have some "alone" time and make a list of your "recurring" thought patterns and do your own analysis.  What are the "themes" you find in your thought behavior (what are the promises you keep making).  Once you see a pattern of "themes", make a list of the "road blocks" that keep you from being successful.  Once you get this down on paper - keep it someplace handy and refer to it often.  Work on molding your "themes" (promises) into something less drastic and more realistic.  Also, work on facing your road blocks head on and think of creative "work-arounds".  Take baby steps, keep chipping away, and realize that YOU can Become - its up to YOU.
