Sticking to
goals can be challenging. We all want better health, better careers, better
jobs and to cast an impression on everyone that we are living fulfilled lives.
Yet to reach our goals and make every minute of our time count requires
commitment, consistency and hard work. Certain daily practices have to be
observed to get the best out of us. Here are some things you have to ensure
daily to reach your goals.
1. Involve others
You have to
be accountable for the actions you are committing yourself to. Involve everyone
around you, get them engaged and talk to them on how they can help you
accomplish your goals. When you involve others you feel you have a
responsibility towards them as well as yourself. Every day, make sure you are
accountable to sticking to your goals. By joining groups or engaging others you
have more motivation to reach your goals. For example if you want to read more,
try joining a book club, if you want to be a better entrepreneur, join an
entrepreneurial organization.
2. Visualize
the rewards
Reaching a
goal can be challenging, sometimes it can be overwhelming. When the journey
becomes tough and difficult, try to stick to visualizing your successes every
day. Wake up to visualize what rewards you will get from sticking to meeting
your goals. If you want to lose some pounds, visualize yourself already
underweight and benefiting from being underweight. The mind has a way of
channeling your body and intentions to sticking to your goals and reaching
them.
3. Break
down your goals
Try to break
down your goals into tiny chunks. The smaller the size of the goals, the more
willing and prepared you are to meet them. For example, if you find it
difficult getting out of the house and taking a workout at the gym, why not try
to break the goal into making sure you are always dressed for the gym daily? By
doing this you demonstrate you are moving in the right direction and you can
keep the momentum to meet with the larger goal.
4. Reward
yourself
For every
progress you make daily towards reaching your goals, try to vindicate yourself
and reward yourself. By doing this you appreciate yourself and the hard work
you have put in for the day. When you reward yourself you program yourself to
benefiting from a larger reward in the future. You also propel yourself to
gaining daily rewards which can be enticing and motivating.
5. Measure your
progress
It is easy
to become frustrated when you are not getting instant results. Change can be
slow and rewards are not always immediate. Still, progress can be measured even
in tiny bits so take time to look back at where you are coming from. You don’t
have to feel depressed about not making that major progress in an instant, but
when you journal or snap pictures to document your progress, no matter how
small, you will feel grateful and elated to see what difference you have made
from where you are coming from up till now.
6. Believe
in the possibilities
According to
researchers, by believing in the possibilities of accomplishing a goal or
a task you increase your chance of reaching it and eradicating whatever
roadblocks or challenges you may face. Believe in what you can achieve. What
self belief has over self control is that while self control can be depleted,
self belief cannot. We all have an enormous reservoir of how much we can
believe in ourselves. With believing in ourselves comes perseverance,
determination and desire to meeting with our goals. Every day understand that
what you need to keep on going is how you think of achieving your goals. Your
goals are reachable if you think you can reach them!
