Why self-improvement programs don’t work. It’s not YOUR fault!
…(T)here is no one “right” method for motivating people to change.
…If you tried in the past to go after your dreams — and you failed — there’s an excellent chance that it wasn’t your fault.
You probably were using techniques that were designed for someone else.
– Barbara Sher
Live the Life You Love, 1984
Avoid one-size-fits-all programs and solutions.
They are a waste of time, money and energy.
Either a program helps you uncover your own unique mix of motivators and needs and desires and comforts and loves — and helps you leverage them — or it belongs on someone else.

This is a great post. I have used self-help techniques for the past 18 years and have had great results.
I picked what worked and made a difference for me and have adapted it for my clients.
I feel that taking steps to improve oneself is total empowerment.
There is no magic wand it all does take work. Also, when you are given steps you want to do all of it so you don’t miss out on the results.
Thanks for posting this.
Here is my story to inspire those who wish to take the journey to self healing.
Hi, I am Hillary Rubin and thirteen years ago I thought that my life as I knew it was over. Just beginning to achieve success as a fashion publicist with Prada, my world came to crashing standstill when I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Determined to craft a future on my terms, I chose to embrace alternative therapies using Yoga as my personal Foundation to find my true path to my healing. Making the choice to work with alternative modalities led me to live symptom & medication free today. I am now 38 and I continue to rock the health and wellness industry by helping thousands of people achieve a mind/body connection that heals, reduces pain and leads you to optimal health. Great media leaders like Fit TV, Yoga Journal, LA Times, Fit Yoga, LA Yoga Magazine and American Fitness Magazines have featured my work. I would for the next life I change to be yours and want to give you a FREE gift – Reduce Stress & Begin Living Wellness Audio Series at my website.
