If your plan is to make this New Year the year follow through with your resolutions; but you need a strategy to hold yourself accountable and ultimately accomplish your goals, then this list is for you!
- Write it down.
Writing down goals helps create a vision in your mind of the future. When you visualize the future and understand what you are trying to achieve, the goal will motivate you. Make sure when writing down goals they are written in a positive manner.
- Make it fun.
Make your goals inspiring and exciting to accomplish. When you reach a goal or milestone, reward yourself with prizes to keep it fun and motivating! Enjoy where the success can take you.
- Make it New Week’s, not New Year’s Resolutions.
Setting goals for the entire year can seem appealing, but can also be overwhelming. Try a new approach of weekly commitments and you will be more likely to attain your goals.
- Get an accountability partner(s).
Having a buddy that encourages you is extremely powerful and inspiring. You do not want to let your partner down, so you will work harder and be more committed to keep going.
- Set goals that align with your everyday life.
Goals are great to have, but are often left unaccomplished because life gets in the way. A great way to make sure this doesn’t happen, is by incorporating goals into your daily routine.
- Make small changes.
Resolutions and goals are great, but if made too broad, it is likely you will become intimidated and avoid them. Start small and work your way up.
- Create a vision board.
Collect images and words representing your desired goals and build a collage. Display your vision board somewhere you will see it every day!
