BEYOND THE RUBBER BAND EFFECT
www.CarolMerlo.com
How I Became a Bicycle Superwoman
Think About
Rubber Bands
Sometimes they get
so stretched out
they break and we
need a bigger
rubber band.
When the Rubber
Band Breaks…
It is the process of
accepting that resistance
as natural and necessary
that will shift you into a
new, greater, more
expanded comfort zone.
THE F.A.M.E. FORMULA
Focus * Affiliations * Motivation * Execution
A strategy for stretching
yourself into a new, more
successful and happy
comfort zone.
Focus
When you get your goals aligned
with your vision, values, and
mission, then you can create an
implementation strategy.
Become a
single-tasker
and get more
accomplished
Eliminate Distractions
Affiliations
Get a Support System!!!!
Motivation
Give Yourself a Gold Star!
Break down your projects and
goals into bite sized pieces and
reward small successes.
Execution
“Do or Do Not …
There is no Try”
…Yoda
Imagine that you no longer
have any resistance, self-
doubt or fear and use that to
keep yourself going until you
shift into a new comfort zone.
Think  Believe  Behave  New Habit
Keep Track of your Goals and Activities
