Keep track of your progress

Write down your thoughts. It will help you deal with behavioural issues better.

"You will find it easy to look at your thoughts objectively once they are down on paper to check if your fears and concerns are unfounded," says Dr Guha.

To build on this, make note of your everyday successes. "It can be as little as saying no to a chocolate pastry when you are trying to lose weight.

Gradually, a positive picture will emerge and you will start seeing your potential," Joshi adds.

Set weekly goals and try to reach them. This is help to give your life a sense of purpose.
