‘Don’t lose your diet marbles’ is one of those diet tips and tricks that you can modify to suit your personality.
Some people like to use a single marble each day to track each day passing – time can too easily slip through our fingers without us noticing – whereas others like to use multiple marbles to keep them focused on, and celebrate the completion of, each action step which makes up their daily goal
A MARBLE A DAY…
I hope you’ve set yourself a fat loss deadline (that’s another one of our favourite diet tips and tricks – a deadline, it will certainly help to keep you focused!) if you haven’t, then do it NOW! We’ll wait for you…
Done?
Okay, now count up the number of days left until deadline day and collect enough marbles for each of those days. Get two of something big enough to hold your marbles and place all of them in just one.
As each day passes, move a marble from one jar/bowl/basket/whatever you wish, to the other – this will allow you to ‘see’ time passing and help you stay focused for the duration.
MORE MARBLES…
Perhaps the biggest ‘trick’ with all these things is to tailor them to suit you – so if you need extra help staying on focused, use marbles to help celebrate your achievements throughout the day. Decide what you want to focus on and count out the corresponding number of marbles.
So, for example, if you’re eating six clean meals a day and want to celebrate successfully eating each one, you’ll need six marbles. You also want to mark your training for the day? You’ll need another marble.
If going to bed before 10pm is a goal and you want to acknowledge doing that successfully, add another marble to your collection.
Each time you successfully complete one of your daily actions, move a marble from one ‘whatever you chose to put them in’ to the other and repeat every day until your deadline.
