Three core disciplines support good health and physical fitness. First: set reasonable goals. Be clear on what you want to achieve, not what someone else thinks you should do. Second: Pacing matters! “Slow and steady wins the race” in both physical and financial fitness. Rein yourself in and set a sustainable pace. Make small changes and then allow them to work over time. Third: Measure progress in terms that are meaningful to you. “Compare against your own benchmark” by looking at how far you’ve come. Finally: All is not lost if you slip up. Just figure out what happened and why. Then avoid a repeat performance by incorporating what you have learned into your plans for moving forward.
