Day 1 is almost over and I felt like I spent the whole day thinking about food. When am I going to eat? What am I going to eat? When am I going to drink? When am I not going to eat/drink? I’m going to try to get ahead of the game tomorrow with the prep!

Did lots of shopping to get all the items I need for this. My daughter Kaitlyn and I are doing this together. I’m sure I can do it on my own but it sure does feel good to have someone doing it with me. I’m excited and a wee bit nervous all at the same time. Looking forward to see what happens and how my body responds to the reset. Take a look a bunch of stuff we bought — in the video.

Ask for what you want. Don’t assume that people know what you want or need in that moment and don’t make people guess what you want. It’s not a puzzle for them to figure out. This is a simple, yet often overlooked tip for getting what you want, asking.

Take Action! ”You can’t steal first base and keep your foot on first.” -Frederick Wilcox. Don’t wait until you feel more confident about your request; you become confident as a result of making the request, or doing the job. You gain skills in the face of doing something. Be will to practice and take action.

Smile. Inside the first 2 seconds of greeting someone. It’s the quickest, most effective way of building instantaneous rapport.

Are you listening? Really listening? Are you pretending to know what someone is saying and therefore are shutting down your listening?

Before you jump into your answer — spend some time considering the question.

An answer that occurs almost instantaneously, it almost certainly — NO — I’m not listening.

What did you accomplish last week? Just one thing, the best thing. Then congratulate yourself!

If you’re having trouble setting goals, you might want to try a different approach. Recent brain research suggests that it’s not so much the goal itself, but the intention that gets us where we want to go. Some people feel goals push us (requiring unsustainable effort) while intentions pull us (they’re more efficient and effective).

Goals use ‘‘numbers” (pounds lost, sales made, products developed). Intentions bring to light what is personally fulfilling.

Intention allows us to visualize ourselves (and how we’ll feel) when we’re successful. It eliminates the “failure” option often associated with the goal achievement process.
