New Year, New Me - 5 Steps to Achieve your Goals

The New Year gives us a natural reset to consider how we wish to reshape our lives. Take advantage of this time without overwhelming yourself. Here are 5 steps to achieve your goals:

1. CREATE REACHABLE GOALS

New Year’s resolutions can be overwhelming and we tend to set ourselves up for failure. Creating smaller goals that lead to your big overall holy grail makes achieving your goals so much easier.

2. VISUALIZE YOUR GOALS 

Planning is extremely important. People are excited to jump into working toward their goal without a clear plan, and then quickly get lost or overwhelmed by the number of steps they need to take to reach their goal. Creating a vision board helps plan better! Try throwing a vision board party, and you will be surprised how fun and productive you can be.
  

3. CELEBRATE YOUR SMALL AND BIG WINS

Congratulate and celebrate yourself! If your New Year’s resolution is to lose weight, congratulating yourself every time you go to the gym can keep you motivated. It may seem vain to you to look in the mirror and tell yourself how great you are, but in this case, it’s very important to reach your ultimate goal.

4. GET AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER

People believe that they can accomplish their goals on their own, but soon lack the motivation or discipline to stick to their goals. Find a partner that can hold you accountable and push each other for a better year.

5.BE PRESENT

Start living in the now. Often, we’re so caught up with what happened or might happen. Start living where life actually takes place: here and now. Say yes to what you’re doing, no matter how insignificant it might seem.
