During the next few weeks,
many people, including myself, will begin to list all the things that we want
to do in the New Year. But despite the high hopes, sometimes we fail to turn
them into reality. Writing objectives is the key, because it forces us to
clarify what we want. Since I was a child, my mother taught me to write a
resolutions list, and to keep it close for inspiration throughout the year. So
now I would like to share some strategies that I have learned to make goals
more attainable.
If you have never written
your resolutions before, you can begin by printing the attached printable I
created. What I do is a little more detailed but this is a good start, and
great for kids too.
1. Plan and be specific: So that instead
of saying “I want to have a great body” you will write the strategies you will
use to make the goals more attainable, like running three times a week for 40
minutes. A goal without a plan to achieve it, is more a wish than a real goal.
2. Set a time frame: if you are planning on organizing your photo albums for example,
set a deadline to accomplish it.
3. Celebrate small
victories: and eliminate “all or nothing” thinking. Small
accomplishments count!
4. Post the list around
you: to give yourself visual reminders.
5. Believe you can: when struggling with self-doubt, look in the mirror, and
repeat to yourself several times that you can do it. Visualize yourself meeting
your goals.
Have fun writing your
goals!
