Happy Friday! I hope that this week treated you well & that you have a fantastic weekend!
This coming Sunday is "Make Your Dreams Come True" Day. I'm obviously all about that with my new approach to 2019! On Wednesday I posted my vision board, which for the record, the day after I made it & a few hours after posting it, one partially came true! BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE VISION BOARD!
So without further ado, here are 5 tips to help you reach those goals!
1. Make SMART goals
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Realistic
Timely
2. Be true to YOU
Set goals because YOU want to achieve them. Not because it's what you think would make others happy or because it's what society expects from you.
3. Know your WHY
You need to know WHY the goal is important to you & WHY you want to accomplish it. If you don't know why it's important to you, you're not likely to achieve it.
4. Track your performace
Whether that's daily, weekly, monthly, whatever works for you. Keep track of your progress. Seeing how far you've come already is great motivation to keep you going.
5. Celebrate!
No matter what the end goal is, & no matter how small you think your achievement is, celebrate it! Say your goal is to run a 5k & you haven't run in years, or ever! Celebrate that first solid minute of running! Heck, celebrate the first time you lace up your tennis shoes & get to it! Be proud of your accomplishments & keep doin the damn thing!

I think knowing your why is important. It's making me question a lot of things this year.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips! Celebrating is so hard for me! Nothing ever feels like "enough," you know? But I guess that's just human nature, we tend to minimize our accomplishments and want more more more.
ReplyDeleteLove this post. I think we're all guilty of being overly ambitious when it comes to our goals and then being disappointed when we fall short. I love the SMART goal concept.
