-
Identify (Create your self affirmations “I am” and identify the small habits that help you achieve this affirmation)
-
Tracking (Score how you are tracking towards each resolution and measure from 0-1)
-
Adjusting (0-0.3: make it easier, 0.4-0.6: keep on going, 0.7-1: consider making it slightly more advanced)
