Choose one goal or task that you have neglected, and commit to advancing it this week – without excuses, even if it requires effort or stepping out of your routine.

The next time you encounter difficulty or lack of motivation, pause and think: 'How can I overcome this?' instead of making excuses or giving up on yourself.

Remind yourself every morning: 'Today I will do my best, without excuses' – and try to implement this in every small or large area.
