2020 wasn’t at all what we wished it would be. But worry not there’s still hope for a happier and productive year ahead. To ensure that you better pen your goals down.
Take out your planner, pull down the calendar and let us get started on
How you can set your Goals for 2021
And make sure you accomplish each and everyone of them.
Even the thought of an organized and planned set of goals is so pleasing. Here are some quick and helpful tips to get you through forming and completing your goals
Keep Room for Change
We set goals. We work towards them. Often when it gets hard we drop them. Now that’s how so many resolutions fail.
Identify what your ultimatum is rather than the process. What I mean is. Say, you promise yourself on New year’s that you will concentrate on your hobby of baking in 2021. So you join classes, but ultimately fail to attend most of them because of your busy schedule.
That doesn’t mean you give up. Instead, you can take classes for fewer days like 2-3 days in a week instead of 5. Focusing on learning rather than attending your bakery classes. Will be more efficient. And help reach your goals.
Flexibility Helps Achieve Goals
Slow and steadily. That’s how you Grow!
Don’t go too hard on yourself. Adapting to healthy habits is new to you too. And it takes a certain amount of time for habits to form. So forcing them on yourself won’t give you the results you want.
Of course, you want to stick to your goals for a longer period of time. And to do so, you must allow some space for flexibility in your set goals.
Sudden changes will do you no good. Say you want to go to the gym five days a week, cut down on the junk food, increase your productivity to a very high level, etc. The best way to achieve all these goals will be to clear them little by little.
Change Your Vision make Your Will-Power Strong
Often our mind associates good feeling & happiness with things we want to cut down on. Like junk eating or addiction.
But this can overcome. And help you strengthen your willpower too.
Simply train your mind to associate those happy feelings with healthy habits. Like exercising. Make your brain believe that exercising makes you happy.
While eating junk, think of all the scary health hazards it causes. Associate eating junk with a feeling of dislike. And see how your habits change.
Uncertainties surround us
One of the greatest lessons of 2020 has been that uncertainties surround us. Life is full of Ups and Downs.
If you are ready to embrace your success with open arms. Remember to embrace your failures too.
If one days beats you down it does not mean you give up. You get up and fight back. Now, this is how you are going to achieve your goals.
Learn from your failures and try working towards being better.
Selecting what You Want your Goals to be!
Whether your goals are towards health, spiritual, relationship, finances, career, or work goals.
You need to first identify what you want to focus on most. You need prioritise and then divide your attention. Making sure that each segment gets the required amount of time and effort.
This way, you will be able to organize your priorities. And make the most of your set goals.
Reward Yourself A Little
In all honesty, we all slack at times. And so will you. Instead of beating yourself up over it. Relax. We all need a break sometimes and so do you.
Besides over-working or forcing yourself to do something. Results in lost interest. And so you will lose motivation towards that goal.
Also after small achievements, make sure to reward yourself. This way you will remain motivated to work and do better.
Look ahead to the Bright Side
It is normal to get demotivated while chasing our goals. And that’s okay.
Keep your head high. Look at what is coming forward. What are the end results. And how badly you have it.
If what you see makes you happy. You know you have a big reason to keep working towards your set goals.
