Attain Your Goals Easily

Why is it that in spite of the best intentions we repeatedly don't achieve the goals we establish for ourselves? Are we over ambitious when we choose them? Or that we aren't ambitious enough and consequently become bored. Perhaps our goals are too vague so it's not really clear what it is we are aiming at. Perhaps they are not goals we truly wish for anyway, but are things we think we "should" want based on what our family or our boss or society requires of us. If any of these factors apply to the goals we set then it is going to be an uphill battle to achieve them.

But let's assume that the goals we have chosen are ones we're keen on and ones we really wish for. Why, then is it that, as a rule we still can't achieve them?

Well, there is an inherent difficulty with setting goals and this is it. Goals, are by necessity set for the future. So on every occasion you focus on them you are considering something you do not yet have or something you have not yet accomplished. And that can result in lowering your mood and decreasing your motivation. You are coming from a space of having your well-being be something in the future. You find yourself feeling so distant from where you want to be that it reduces your self-esteem and can result in being worse than not having any goals at all.

So what you need to do is work backwards from your end goal and break it up into smaller steps, and then break it down again until you have goals that can be completed in 24 hours. Think of it like a map and then lay it aside.

Make your daily goals trackable so that you can keep a note of your successes on a graph or in a journal. For instance, if you wanted to lose 9 lbs by a particular date. Your daily goals might be to go walking, eat four pieces of fruit, investigate low fat recipes and read something that inspires you. You might make up a chart to stick on your wall so you can actually check off your daily targets as you achieve them.

If you observe you're not getting sufficiently close to your end goal by the deadline, change or increase your daily goals. You have total creative control.

This concentration on what you are achieving each day builds momentum and self-esteem because you will go to bed knowing that you have done what you set out to do. You don't have to wait until you attain the end goal and have lost ten lbs. You will already be a winner, your self esteem will go up and, if you keep at it, your end goal is guaranteed.
