intentional about remembering
the lighter moments in life.
Take some time to think
about three positive things that
happened in the past week,
month, and year. Reflecting on
these moments offers a new
perspective, and can shift you
into a more optimistic mindset.
3. Why is it
important
for you to
accomplish
your goal?
If you have a goal you’re
struggling with right now,
come back to the basics and
ask yourself why it’s important
to you. What will change if you
accomplish this particular goal?
What won’t change if you don’t?
Reiterating the importance of
what you’re working towards
can give you a renewed energy
around the goal, and inspire you
to keep going.
4. How will achieving your goal
support others around you?
If you’re still struggling with motivation, look at your
goal in a different way. We often think about the ways
our goals will change our own lives, but have you ever
thought about how they will change other people’s lives?
For example, if your goal is to meditate more to help manage stress,
think about how those around you will benefit from you being less
stressed. Sometimes taking the focus away from ourselves in this way
can help us to feel more committed to our goals.
5. How can you motivate yourself?
Motivation is an inside job – you really need to tune-in
to what excites you, drives you, and lean into that. Think
about what’s propelled you into action in the past, to see
how you can recreate that inspiration in the future. Is it
about setting yourself deadlines for milestones you want
to achieve, or having calendar reminders on your phone? Is it about
being held accountable, by sharing your goals with friends or family,
or even a life coach? Once you know what fires you up most, you can
utilise this in times when your motivation seems to dwindle. >>>
