How To Commit To Your Goals!

Hello friends

I trust you’ve had a great time so far during your Christmas break, and am also sure you must be looking forward to what 2017 has to offer. One thing I would like to remind you of is this:

2017 will not be any different than 2016 if you do not set some definite goals and stay committed to those goals. Today I want to share some insight with you with regards to staying committed to your goals. Enjoy

Have you ever set a goal and not achieved it?  Most people have.

In fact, it’s quite common for people to get stuck in an endless cycle of setting goals and then quitting them shortly afterwards – and accomplishing nothing at all.

Why do people do this?  One of the biggest reasons is a lack of commitment to their goal.  Without commitment a goal will gradually shrink in importance, and the temptation to quit will seem much more attractive, especially when obstacles cause setbacks and delays.

On the other hand, if you make a serious commitment and then continually remind yourself of it, you’ ’ll be much more likely to persevere and achieve the goal.

Here i’s how to commit to your goals:

1) First and foremost, you have to make sure that every goal you set is of VITAL importance to you.  This can be tricky because we so often fool ourselves into thinking we want one thing when we want something entirely different.  Take some time with this part of the process, and be sure that you get to the heart of what you really want.  Why do you want it?  What will it do for you?  What positive things will it bring to your life?  How will it help you?  How will it make you feel when it’s accomplished?

Write all of this down and keep it handy so you can refer to it as often as necessary if you feel your commitment beginning to slip.

Also ask yourself if your goal is worth the effort and sacrifice that will be needed to achieve it.  If you can honestly answer yes, you are on the way!

2) Think about what will happen if you do not follow through.  Would nothing much happen if you do not achieve your goal?  If not, then you need to raise the stakes!

You have to make your goal the most important thing in the world, and if you do not do it, you’’ll deal with negative consequences.

Even if you have to indulge in a bit of “make believe” in order to do this, do it.  For example, play up the fact that you’’ll lose respect for yourself if you do not follow through; or you might agree to give up something you love if you do not make it happen.

3) Then, each and every day, renew your commitment.  It’’s easy to be committed if your goal is new and your motivation is high, but you need to be able to STAY committed – no matter what!  Each day when you awaken, read through the goal you wrote down on the first day, and stress again how vitally important it is to you.

Promise yourself that you’ re going to do as much as you can to work on your goal that day, and every day until you achieve it.

When it comes right down to it, no one can achieve your goals for you.  If you want to achieve them, you’’ ll have to find the determination necessary to keep going.

Inactivity and procrastination are usually nothing more than bad habits.  Turning those habits into something more positive and productive is as simple as taking it a day at a time and working your hardest to change your life.

The more committed and determined you are to making your goal happen, the more likely you’ ’ll do just that.
