Support the Decision You Make ！
佚名 / Anonymous
When you make a deep decision to do something or to make a change， it is a good idea to create an environment that supports and sustains the decision.
This is especially important as there are probably already in place old habits that support previous decisions， habits that may have some life of their own， and that may tend to continue on their own…out of habit…until and unless they are replaced with habits that support your new decision.
How can you create an environment that supports a decision？ There are many ways， depending upon the circumstances. Here are some possibilities to help you get started：
1. Ask others， enlist and enroll others to help support your new decision. For example， at a celebration event， when you want to watch what you eat — instead of allowing people to pressure you into “enjoying” yourself by eating what you USED to eat， ask them to help you keep yourself on track， and to help you ward off other people who might press you to eat in your old ways.
2. Make physical changes in your work and/or living space that supports and is in line with your new decision.
3. New clothes that suit your new decision.
4. Create a space that will make room for what you want. Might be a garage for a new car， floor space for new furniture or an entertainment center， or space for an exercise bike…for instance. Create a space that can be filled with what you want.
5. Re-work your schedule and your habits and routines to support what you decided for.When will you take certain steps that are related to and support your decision？
6. Tell others in your personal or work community of your new decision， and ask for their help and support.
7. If you are in the habit of telling people about intentions you then don’t act on... then consider keeping it a secret， and using all that energy towards implementing your new decision， and SHOW people the results.
