I find it really helpful to sit down, turn off my phone, step away from social media and spend some time focusing on my goals. By taking a moment to breathe and reflect on everything I’ve accomplished in the year so far, I can think clearly and strategically about where I want to go next and how I am going to get there. By spending the time and making the effort, my goals go from being a fleeting thought or an idea to actual, achievable goal. I write them down. I map out a plan. And, I know exactly what steps I need to take in order to achieve the dreams I’ve laid out before me. When there’s a map and a guide, things become clear, steps are put into place and it all seems much less overwhelming and actually doable. Do you ever sit down and think about what your goals look like and how to get to there? Let’s take a look.
How to Become a Goal Getter
Pick your top three goals. We all have a lot of goals – of course! That’s a wonderful thing, but learning to focus on just a handful (or even one!) at a time will really help you actually accomplish what you’re going for. When you spend that time thinking about your goals, it’s great to write a whole bunch down, but then pick your top three to focus on first – that will help you get down to business asap.
Hold yourself accountable. NO ONE else is going to keep you accountable for your own goals – they are yours and your responsibility. So, in this case, it’s on you to be sure that you actually achieve all those goals you spent time mapping out. Check in with yourself once a week or so to see where you’re at and what steps you still need to take to get there. Make a checklist to help guide your path along with the little steps along the way that will help you achieve that ultimate goal.
Think about the ‘why’ behind your goals. Perhaps you want to start your own business or have a big family…knowing the why behind goals like that is incredibly important for keeping you on the path toward success. A lot of times, goals are driven by passion and passion is driven by love – it’s all interconnected and so important for finding success along the way. Knowing your why, understanding what drives you and fills you up – it’s all part of a bigger picture that will leave you content and fulfilled.
Keep it all positive and let the negative energy go. Why focus on the negative? That can drag you down and leave you frustrated and feeling like you’ll never achieve your goals. When you flip it around and put all your energy into positive thinking, you’ll be amazed at how great you feel – not to mention how that energy attracts success. Put positive vibes out there into the universe, you’ll absolutely get positive vibes in return.
Trust yourself and your instincts. You know what you want. You know how to get after it. No one else can do that for you and no one can stop you. Let nothing stand in your way, especially yourself. Just get out there and get it done. You’re a BOSS…remember that.
Are you working on getting your goals in line and figuring out how to turn all those amazing dreams into reality?
