49. Chart your success.

Focus on changing one behavior at a time, such as drinking more water or exercising daily. Post a chart on the front of the refrigerator that tallies your daily behavioral change efforts.

At week's end, add up your successes and reward yourself with flowers, bubble bath, scented candles, or a massage for all your hard work. Once a habit has been licked, move on to another one.
