Everybody?s looking for the magic pill. But commitment is an ongoing process. It?s not something you do once. You revisit it.

It?s a way of dealing with stress. There are stress triggers all over the place. And there are more and more of them all the time.

Studies are clear on this. People need a strategy for dealing with stress, but they need a positive one.

That?s where you respond to incremental successes with something that gives you personal pleasure.

Deal with the stress in a proactive way.

Short-term success is not the goal. It?s long-term resolution. It takes a lot of mental energy to overcome inertia and commit to overcoming a bad habit.
