Start with a baseline?

 

It’s great to change your life and it’s the way we as human beings grow and develop. Change is a fixed process and part of being human. When you start to change something in your life, you have to start from where you are. It will be difficult to effectively change where you are. You need to start with a baseline.

Starting with the baseline honestly lets you know exactly where you are and what you need to do to make the right changes. This may sound strange but many of us are unaware of what we do. When my clients tell me they want to lose weight I first keep a food journal for a week just to get them to baseline. The next week they shared not only how much they ate but also what they ate. Many of us are in autopilots and we are simply not aware of what we are doing. When you track it - and it works with anything - you have a realistic picture of where you are and what needs to change.

I read a statistic at once that says most people spend about 10% more than they consistently make. I believe that’s true, and it’s because of what’s being spent, especially not being tracked on a credit card. I once had a client who didn’t have enough time to perform what he needed to do. When he tracked his time for a week, he was painfully alerted that he was spending hours in front of the television. The first step to change is awareness. You need to be aware of what you are doing and exactly where you are before you move on. Keeping track for a week or two will provide you with valuable information that will support your conversion efforts.

You need to know where you are before you start trying any kind of change. I compare it to a travel map that has an X printed next to "You're here." Unless you know exactly where you are - and many of us have no idea - it will be impossible to make the necessary changes.

The first step in your attempt at change is to determine where you are. Keep a log for a week or two. This will give you a real idea of ​​what he is doing. You can track how many hours of sleep you get from how much money you have spent. Once you know the truth about where you are, you can move on .
