when you  keep your goals realistic and take things one-step at a

time - 2 things happen. First you start building your confidence -
which is crucial to your success. Next you start sending the message
to your subconscious mind.
You start telling your subconscious that you can do this, you say
you are improving and you are ready for change and that you are giving
your subconscious the time that it needs to help you get to where you want to go.

What you are doing is creating a success consciousness that is sent
directly to your subconscious. It now starts to pick up your
success belief system - and thus greater change takes place sooner.
