ANOTHER THING I HAVE ASKED EACH OF THE 15 PARTICIPANTS TO DO IS TO SEND A WEEKLY AFFIRMATION TO AN INDIVIDUAL THEY ARE COMMITTING TO "HOLD ACCOUNTABLE" AS A WAY OF HELPING EACH OTHER TO MAINTAIN THEIR COMMITMENTS TO THEMSELVES.

HERE'S A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A WEEKLY AFFIRMATION I JUST RECEIVED...


Good morning LS,

Congratulations on living up to your agreements to yourself of exercise and water intake.

You lived up to your 2000 calorie diet as well with just one day of going over. And you have an immediate plan and positive attitude to stay below the 2000 calorie diet this week!

I enjoyed talking with you Saturday, you are affirming, insightful and encouraging to me.

I value you as a coaching partner. It was also great to "small talk" a little and begin to get to know each other better.

I am so excited and admire you for the obstacles you will and have overcome to reach your goals in August.

It takes someone with perseverance, motivation, resolve and such a positive attitude to do that, not to mention courage and hard work.

You exemplify all those things. I believe you can reach your goals and I am proud of your consistency, attitude and willingness to do the work, in the midst of a busy and stressful schedule...

One of the things that stands out to me this week is your resolve to learn to swim well and participate in the immersion swimming group.

I pray that this is a positive experience for you, that they help you well. This is a challenge for you and you are willing to do this for yourself. How exciting to see yourself accomplish this and then swim in the triathlon this August.

Hope your bike ride went well. You have added that on this week and that is exciting to know that you are moving toward your goals.

You have already said you have more energy and feel stronger. What long-term benefits we receive from following this plan.

Hope your dinner went well with your daughter! And hope you are blessed this week with peace and success.

BY THE WAY...
FOR THOSE OF YOU FOLLOWING OUR GROUP'S ASTOUNDING PROGRESS TO TRANSFORM THEIR PHYSICAL HEALTH & FITNESS, WHEN YOU SEE THE PHRASE:

"Congratulations on living up to your agreements to yourself"

ANYWHERE IN ONE OF THESE AFFIRMATION EMAILS...
THAT IS CODE LANGUAGE MEANING THAT THE INDIVIDUAL HAS, INDEED, LIVED-UP TO ALL THEIR COMMITMENTS FROM THE PREVIOUS WEEK.

THAT CODE PHRASE IS FOR MY BENEFIT IN SUPPORTING THE ENTIRE GROUP.

IF I DON'T SEE THAT PHRASE, IT'S AN ALERT TO ME TO GET MORE INVOLVED TO HELP THE INDIVIDUAL SET WEEKLY GOALS THEY ARE COMMITTED TO ACHIEVING.
