Remind yourself daily
In order to achieve your goals, you need to be reminded daily of what they are and where you want to be with your goals. We all have weak moments where we think, ‘I’ll try again tomorrow’. However, this mentality could end up going on for days, weeks or months, so it’s important to:
· Set deadlines
· Set goals
· Remind yourself why you have these goals
· Monitor your goals
Next thing you know, you still have the same goals and still need to work towards them. This could lead to you feeling upset with yourself and frustrated. So why not try a few ways to remind yourself daily:
1) Set reminders on your phone
2) Write notes around your room, house.
3) Download an app to remind you!
4) Tell friends and family – once you have spoken to others about your goals, it may feel more real and you are more likely to stay on track to achieve them.
Revisit your goals
Whether your goals are to buy a new house, save money or travel the world – think of how you will be able to achieve these goals on a regular basis.
For example, if you are looking to save money, set yourself a target amount of money you want to save in a certain timeframe, on a weekly or monthly basis, then review how well you are doing in achieving this goal.
Discipline
Stay disciplined. Tell yourself that these are set for a reason and remind yourself what you will achieve as a result of these goals.
Staying committed to your goals will help you grow stronger in your mind in the long-term and as you overcome mental challenges you will begin to learn more about yourself.
