Support systems help you succeed in changing your habits.

The three key factors to successfully change your lifestyle are planning, discipline and a support system. You can control the plan and discipline by yourself. Adding the encouragement from an outside support network makes reaching your goals easier.

Who wouldn't want encouragement? Making changes without any help, or even worse, with people who don't believe you can succeed is really difficult. Be cautious of people who only support you if you buy their products, too.

Support people are your cheer-leading team. They offer encouragement, information and feedback. They can be your sounding board for tough decisions. And, since significant change takes time and can have set-backs, they can pick you up when you are down. These are the people who really care if you succeed!

Where do you find these magical people? Look for the people in your life who help you feel:
• Greater self-worth
• Increased zest for living
• Able to act and the ability to act

Enlist their help. Tell them what you are working towards and how they can support you.
