When people want to change something in their life, like lose weight, for example, they follow the impulse, but it’s never quite enough because their enthusiasm eventually fades away and the problem remains.
When you realize that your goal is not that attainable, the easiest thing to do is drop everything and return to the starting point.
Scientists and psychologists haven’t figured out how to solve the problem of decreased motivation yet but they have proposed an alternative option — to try new behavioral strategies and not to become discouraged in case of failure.
Try to break the habits you already have, do something new and unusual every day, and remember the ultimate goal.
