Hello, person reading this! As you know, we just finished the first week of 2020, a new year with potential for a fresh start. I bet on New Years Eve, you made resolutions and set goals that you want to accomplish in the new year. Maybe you want to get more sleep. Maybe you want to start exercising. Maybe you just want to try to be a happier person. But are you going to actually make those goals and resolutions a reality? You should. I feel like so many of us make these unrealistic goals and resolutions to have done and accomplished by the end of the year, that we get so overwhelmed and just give up on the goal as a whole. If that’s you, I have a couple solutions.
#1. Take one goal/resolution and break it up into smaller parts~ I really like this tip because it’s kind of like making building blocks to achieve your goals. An example would be, let’s say, you want to be healthier. There’s so much that could go into that resolution. Do you want to be mentally and physically healthier, or just one or the other? If mentally, a small step you could take would be to start meditating. If physically, try reflecting on your eating habits. Take baby steps to get to your goals.
#2. Make a dream/goal board~ Making dream boards are really fun. Plus, they’re a good way of visualizing your goals so you can look at them and never forget them. To make a dream board, you’re gonna need some supplies. Some things you’ll need will be:
•A poster board of any size, depending on how many goals you have
• Some magazines to cut pictures out of
• A pair of scissors
• Glue or tape
• Markers, pens, or pencils
• Glitter or glitter glue (optional)
Now that you have all of your supplies, start with a list of your goals. Then, look in the magazines that you have, and find some images or words that apply to said goals. Once you have them cut out, tape or glue them onto the poster board. After you do that, you can either decorate the poster with hand-drawn pictures, glitter, or write words next to the magazine images. When the board is done, hang it up somewhere you can easily see it. That way, you’ll always being able to visualize your goals without having to always imagine them.
#3. Make a time for your goals~ this part of goal-accomplishing is probably the hardest because you’re going to be re-evaluating the way you spend your time. This is also the most important part. You can plan all you want and still not get anywhere. Do you know why you’re not getting anywhere? Because you’re not acting on those plans. Or, you’re not making enough time to act on those plans. Which is why you need to make a schedule. You know that extra hour you spend mindlessly scrolling through Tik Tok? Guess what, that’s workout time now! In order to accomplish anything, you have to make sacrifices! And that’s exactly what you’re gonna do.
Okay, I think that’s all of the knowledge I can crank out for today. I really hope this advice will help you reach your dreams. Happy New Year 2020, & thanks for reading. 😊❤️
