This Week in Meetings: "Make a Losing List!"
Topic: Nov. 30th - Dec. 6th

Why do you want to lose weight? The more answers you have, the stronger your motivation can be.

When you need to get stuff done, writing a to-do list can help. And when sticking to that to-do list becomes a little harder, writing a "why" list can be just the fix. That’s because the more reasons you have to do something — whether it’s reorganizing your closet or sticking with healthy behaviors — the more likely you are to follow through with the task. It's like a benign pile-on that makes resistance pretty much futile. Keep an actual list of these reasons on hand to go over whenever you feel your motivation dipping. It can be the jolt of enthusiasm you need to refocus on your goals.
