"One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don't invest any energy in them, because I know who I am." - Michelle Obama
Happy Thursday everyone! We are in the second quarter of the new year, and time is already flying by. At the beginning of a new season, I reflect on what I've accomplished, as well as what's still ahead to be done! Whether you are trying to reach a new fitness goal or professional certification, it is always good to determine your next steps.
Today, I am sharing my tips on setting and accomplishing your goals!
- Put it in writing. At the beginning of each year I write down a few goals for the new season. Writing my goals helps me visualize the statement. Also, when you clearly state a goal it makes the task more realistic.
- Be positive. When you are in the process of achieving a goal it can be challenging and frustrating. Always remain calm and positive in the midst of accomplishing a task. It will be hard, but remain focused on the goal and do not let anyone or anything deter you.
- Stay on track. The journey in completing a goal is not an easy one. Always remember to stay focused and never give up. Limit distractions and naysayers to ensure you meet your target goal. Consistency is key!
- Have a realistic approach. Make sure the goal is realistic and achievable. Also, it is important the steps in getting to your goal are identified early on. Rome wasn't built in a day! Be patient and work hard to make your dream come true.
- Set a timeline. Setting a date to your goal helps you stay focused. When you set a timeline, it's key to determine if your goal is short or long term. Once that is identified, begin to work towards that date. If you miss your date, it's okay! Always reassess and re-evaluate your goals and adjust as needed.
