Your Escape Plan

Most of us have at least one major challenge in our lives that makes us feel like we're trapped.  If this resonates with you, I would like to share a couple of thoughts to help you devise your own escape plan.  It doesn't matter how long you've been incarcerated.  There's hope as long as you don't give up.  Here goes:

1. The first step is to understand you are locked up.  Review all the areas of your life and admit something is amiss.  Finances?  Relationships? Weight issues?  Lack of physical fitness?  What is it?  Name it.  Write it down so you can stare at the challenge every morning when you wake up.
2. Set up an escape plan.  Odds are you know someone with the same challenge who broke free.  Copy them.  Ask for help.  They are free because they did something you're not doing.
3. Follow the plan.  You won't break free overnight.  This is a slow process.  The key here is to make progress.  Baby steps add up if you stick with the plan.
4. Make the changes permanent.  Breaking free is great.  Staying free is even better.  

Once you succeed with your escape plan, help others.  We are in this together.  Have a great day.
