Intentions in the new year
New Year New luck? Many people start the year according to this motto, make plans and set good resolutions.
But as soon as the goals are set, they quickly disappear from the scene.
The resulting result of the initial euphoria is usually that the intentions rarely survive January.
But why is that? Why is it so difficult for us year after year to stick to our goals and achieve them? And how do you achieve what you are doing despite demotivation?
It must be YOUR intent
Don't just set goals because someone else is expecting you to. Think of yourself: what do YOU want for the coming year? If you only think of others in your goals, your success will not last long or it will not.
Make the purpose a purpose
An intent is always a non-binding, rather a wish. However, if you set a goal and make your wish more concrete, you are more likely to stay on the ball and soon be successful. At the same time, formulate when you want to reach your goal.
How to reach the goal
After you have formulated the goal, you determine with which measures you want to reach the goal. It may also be possible for a colleague or friend to assist you in achieving it.
Record your goal in writing
Write down your goals and record them on a piece of paper. At the same time you increase the feeling of inner commitment. If you want to tackle it professionally, even creates a concrete action plan.
Find motivation
Not every goal has so much passion and motivation that you literally fly over the finish line. In these cases you have to motivate yourself "artificially". This can be achieved, for example, by a reward that you indulge in at a "milestone".
To be humble at the beginning
Another pitfall: Some people set the goals too high or want too much at once. Therefore, set a goal that does not overwhelm you.
Stay tuned
Stick to your goal consistently. This can often be difficult as the passion and motivation often wear off over time. But even if it's only one ant step a day, the main thing is to stay tuned.
Plan failures
You should also plan for failures. Because the way will certainly not be easy and now and then a bit bumpy. It can be helpful if you think about setbacks in advance in order to prepare for an emergency. Do not be frustrated and bury everything if something goes wrong.
Are you celebrating
And never forget: when you have achieved the goal, celebrate - in whatever way. Because this is what makes the destination really tasty! G
