Steps to Achieve Your New Year Goals

Set your Goals

1. Don’t bite off more than you can chew: Pick small goals that you can achieve in a short space of time. Once you have accomplished them you can then create others for yourself.
2. Write your goals down: Putting your goals on paper is great way of staying focused on achieving them.
3. Share it with someone: Revealing your goals to a close friend, family member or mentor will make you more accountable and involved in seeing it through.
4. Post them: Pin up your goals in a place where you will see them regularly, i.e., your refrigerator, above your PC screen, etc.
5. Read them aloud: Make it a ritual of yours to read your goals out loud at least once a day.
6. Take action: Each day take inspired action that will ensure you keep moving forward towards your goal.
7. Review your progress: Each evening review your goals and ask yourself whether you did everything possible during that day to bring you closer towards what you want.
8. Affirm your success: Create positive affirmation statements that you can use to replace the nagging negative self-talk that you can often hear in your head.
9. Reward yourself: When you’ve achieved a particularly defined goal, remember to reward yourself.
10. Achieve more: Finally, once you’ve achieved your goals and given yourself a sufficient reward, immediately set new goals and simply repeat the process.
