Pushing the Limits


Eleanor Roosevelt said "Do one thing everyday that scares you." We agree and think living by this mantra is a great way to challenge yourself and continually grow. Take a second and think about the things you want in your life, but don't currently have. Take those dreams and turn them into reality by breaking down your goals into daily activities that will always move you closer to the end result. The idea is to pick a small adjustment for the week, then another and another. It can be big or small, but the goal is to make it so that it is realistically achievable. For example, if you feel you need to lose weight, your goal shouldn't be to lose 100 lbs in the next year, you should take it one week at a time. The first week decide to drink more water, then the following week eat only 1/4 of the portions you were before, then the week after that you add in exercise. This way you're not overwhelmed with trying to accomplish too much at once and feeling like you have failed just because you couldn't keep up with the demands you put on yourself.

The same goes for your debt situation. If you are really dedicated to becoming debt free. It is a process and it will take time. Doing nothing will be overwhelming and you will feel like a failure at times. Taking it week by week and making small changes will have you where you want to be in no time. You could try saving $20.00 one week by cutting out coffee stops, then try saving $50.00 the next week by cutting out coffee stops and using coupons, and so on. Before you know it, you're saving enough money to start paying off those debts and live the CamLife!

There is no better feeling than accomplishing what you have set to do. It may be a process but Cambridge Life Solutions is here to help along the way!
