Whether you want to pay off your debt or you want to start hitting the gym five days a week, there's a good chance you'll make some mistakes along the way.
Mistakes aren't necessarily bad. They can be great learning opportunities. But, the truth is, we don't always learn from our mistakes. In fact, we often repeat the same mistakes.

When you repeat a mistake, you might be tempted to draw inaccurate conclusions about yourself. You might think you lack willpower or you might start to believe you're incapable of change. Ultimately, your mistakes may cause you to stop trying to reach your goals.

But sometimes, a few simple changes to the way you respond to a mistake makes a huge difference.

In this Friday Fix episode, I share six strategies that can help you avoid repeating your mistakes. Whether you keep drinking more than you intend or you spend your paycheck the minute you get paid, experiment with these strategies to help you stop making the same mistakes over and over again.
