Setting goals are easy and writing them down is also easy, what is hard is actually following through with the goals we have set.
It is the beginning of February, do your goals still make you feel warm and fuzzy inside like they did in early January? Here are a few techniques to help you stay in winning mode.
Set micro goals- Many of us set out to accomplish large goals that may sound great in the beginning until we begin working on them. Usually a few weeks in and we are ready to throw in the towel. When we focus on micro goals it is easy to see the results.
Celebrate the small wins- have a reward system in place and highlight your accomplishments no matter how small.
Begin with the end goal in mind- Set a reminder in an area that allows you to see the reason for your goal. This reminds you of your why when you feel like giving up.
Forgive Yourself for Stopping- Taking a break from your goal can bring on negative feelings of doubt and lack of trust in ourselves. It is important to forgive ourselves for the temporary stops that we make on the way to accomplishing our goals.
Start Again- As the old proverb says, it is never too late for a shower of rain. If you took a pause, do not be afraid to get back up and start working on our goals again.
Remember, totally giving up on a goal you have set and want to accomplish will leave you loosing faith and trust in yourself. If you have stopped working on your goal, restart as if it's a brand new year.
