With New Year's just passing, many around the world find themselves wanting to grow whether it be professionally or personally. Unfortunately for many, there can be a lack of motivation or accountability that can occur after the first few weeks. Our Final Drill team has compiled key factors that can help you stay on track with your resolutions and goals for 2021.
1. Set Goals That Motivate You
Having goals that motivate you can help enhance the success of your goals due to their value and what they specifically mean to you. Having goals with the motivation behind them will make progress and ultimately the completion of such goals/resolutions.
2. Specific Goals
By setting specific goals, it helps keep accountability. For example, more exercise is not a specific goal, the goal of walking for 15 minutes a day is a specific, clear and defined. Setting specific goals helps provide direction and a clear definition of success.
3. Measurable Goals
Having measurable goals can help you track your progress. Often motivation on goals can decrease due to the inability to measure then. Having measurable goals allows for accountability to take place as well as progress to be tracked to help increase and maintain motivation to achieve what is desired.
4. Written Goals
Writing down goals can help you visually see them and also help enforce accountability. Common goals can be “cutting out carbs for a month” or “losing 15 pounds in x months”.
5. Understanding Life Happens
Often many can fall behind on their goals due to unforeseen or uncontrollable circumstances happening, such as COVID-19. Knowing that life happens can help you refrain from losing motivation. Such as your daily outdoor run being cut short due to a rainstorm. When life throws you curveballs always make sure to look at the silver lining because it might lead to a much-needed day off to rest!
These are just a few tips to help with reaching your goals or resolutions. By having clear goals that are written, specific and measurable help with the achievement due to the visualization and accountability that occurs when having a clear goal with the correct planning.
