I remember an expression, used by a psychologist, talking about goal setting. "Bring the future nearer", he said.
He explained that a goal with a fruition date too far in the future was very difficult to get excited about. In that situation he suggested it is better to work out where you will have to be in half that time.And in three months, one month, next week! The improvement needed in one week's time, is far more exciting. And working on smaller steps, gives an earlier indication of progress.Once a little progress has been made, it can generate the atmosphere to continue with the treatment.
