Part #1

If you knew that you could achieve anything you wanted to, get that job that you always thought was slightly out of your reach or find and build that excellent new relationship that has remained somehow elusive, that would be amazing, wouldn’t it?

Do not get annoyed with yourself for not using past resources. Focusing on negative energy prevented you from moving forwards. It is time to focus on what you want and the outcome you desire.

YOU NEED MOTIVATION AND GOAL SETTING; we all need goals. Goals give you the extra breath of life to keep getting up each day to start again.

Goal setting improves performance when:

– Goals are SPECIFIC

– Goals are DIFFICULT

– Goals are CHALLENGING

– Goals are ATTAINABLE

– Goals are participative set PARTICIPATIVELY SET

 

HERE ARE SOME QUICK TIPS TO STAY MOTIVATED:

Identify your Values, Beliefs, and Desires

  • What is essential to you motivates you. Simply, if you assign a value to something important, you are more likely to do what action is required to reach the goal.
  • People’s goals and desires grow from their values and beliefs.
  • Draft a list of your values, beliefs, and desires. Take time to think about the interrelations of the items.
  • The list should be a source of motivation and must help you achieve your goals. The quality and depth of your inspiration are directly related to your commitment, and you must be sure that you can live up to reach your goal.
  • Taking this for granted could lead to frustration, diminishing your motivation.

Do a Self-Assessment

  • Do an informal assessment of your existing abilities. Have a reflection on what you know about yourself. Accuracy and honesty are essential at this point. Underestimation or overestimation would result from an inaccurate assessment of one’s abilities.
  • If you already have an assessment of your strengths and weaknesses and know what you value and desire, it is now possible to establish personal goals.
  • All goals should incorporate these common attributes:
    • Realistic
      Goal setting should be realistic. The goals set should be based on your existing abilities and circumstances.
    • Possible
      Remember not to establish goals that would make them realistic or unrealistic.
    • Flexible
      Always anticipate obstacles along the way and learn how to move around them.
    • Measurable
      Have a period so you would know if you have reached your goal.
    • Under Control
      It is important to remember to set your goals based on your values and beliefs—target goals where you can control the outcome.
