If some of you don’t like the word “goals”, you can use whatever word feels right for you: desires, intentions, wishes, aspirations… The point is, if you want to get somewhere in life, you need to know your direction – and your goals are like stepping stones towards that desired final outcome.
So why is it then that so many people struggle to achieve their goals? And what can be done to avoid this situation? It might sound too “technical” but setting up a structure around the way you approach your goals is very important.
What I mean by “structure” is certain practices, rituals, habits, that make sure you are working on your goals continuously. If you go towards your goals on a daily basis, that is already a good beginning.
Other practices that might be helpful are: regular visualizations, meditations, making vision boards, posting affirmations somewhere where you can see them, listening to motivational programs while driving… Or you can do all of these!
The point is – setting your goals is not enough. You have to create a support system which will carry you through the times when you want to quit. Having a routine to rely on when things get tough differentiates those who actually achieve their goals from those who repeatedly fail to achieve them.
If you need a friend to accompany you to the gym, because weight loss is your goal, find one. If you need to re-decorate your office to make it a happier place to work in, do it. If you need to get up 15 minutes earlier to be alone and center yourself for the day, do it.
Only you know what works for you. Don’t postpone setting up these structures; they will keep you on track when it is needed the most.
