Happy Monday!
Do you have big goals? I know I do!
I struggled for the longest time to actually get around to achieving my goals. It wasn't until I started implementing these tips that I actually made progress!
3 Tips for Tackling Your Goals:
1. Break down your goals into smaller actionable steps.
- Depending on how big the goal, I often work backwards and think about what step comes right before the big end goal and then so on and so on. Think about the actionable step that you can take now. If it is not a step that you can tackle today, it isn't small enough. Examples: input meals into Google Cal, plan out social media posts for the next month, take headshots, compose an email draft, reach out to 20 people, etc.
2. Schedule out those actionable steps.
- Use an online calendar or a paper planner, if you carry one around with you. Make it easily accessible. Put all of those little action steps onto dates on the calendar, that way you hold yourself accountable and know what to focus on each day. It isn't enough to just break down the steps, you have to make sure you are getting them accomplished. Scheduling them is the best way to make sure that happens!
3. Celebrate your wins!
- This is the biggest one. When you have have put the action steps into the calendar or you have completed an action step, and especially when you have fully achieved the goal, it is so important to celebrate! It sends happy signals in our brain and we are more likely to push to achieve more goals! So, get a scoop of ice cream, drink a glass of wine, or open a bottle of champagne! You did it, celebrate it!
