FALLING OFF TRACK

It's impossible to get back on track if you don't know where the track is and you don't know where the track is going. How do you know when you're off track? What are the warning signs that you're going in the wrong direction? This all depends on the ultimate goal. Start with the very top, ultimate goal. Pick something like "a balanced, fulfilling, varied and exciting life" or "to be happy, at peace with all of my decisions and in line with my spiritual beliefs". Start there and work backwards.

You'll be off track when your life goes out of balance. You'll know it's going out of balance when you notice that you're eating more of the wrong foods, drinking more alcohol, feeling increasingly more fatigued, and you're generally more irritable. These are warning signs that something isn't right. That's the time to STOP. Not just behaviors, but stop doing your life the way you've been doing it. Stop everything that your doing and regroup. Something isn't the way you want it. Either you're doing too much or you're out of alignment with your deepest beliefs. Take the time to figure out what it is and change it before things get worse.
