MOtIVAtION
AND GOALS IN A
I NEW WORLD
accomplish my goals by making them the focal point in my life. I know that to have success in life, certain things need to happen:
I define what it is that I want and what my client wants. I take baby steps and make a list of each tiny goal that I must accomplish. If I want to achieve my goals, I am firm on the goal,
but flexible on the approach. This helps me keep my eye on the prize and keep going in the tough times.
I stay positive and optimistic to avoid getting discouraged or quitting. While I must keep going, I have not gotten to where I want to be without some setbacks. To stay encouraged, I have friends who provide constructive advice/criticism that helps me get closer to my goal. As well, I avoid people who have no awareness of their own dreams, since they will attempt to make my dreams seem impossible and futile.
How do I motivate myself to act? I build enthusiasm by reminding myself why I want to do something. If I need a little boost to help get me going on a task or project, I write down the reason why I need to do it and the benefits of getting
it done. When a goal is really important, I build a vision board with images that represent what I want to accomplish in my life.
From a practical standpoint, I break down my work into smaller chunks, and by breaking my day down into smaller segments, my work is easier to deal with. I start with simpler tasks that I can complete quickly to build momentum,
and I try to make my activities fun. I also make the task more exciting by challenging myself in a new way or mixing things up to helps me get tasks finished.
When I get something done even if it’s just a small accomplishment, I promise myself a reward. I might give myself a short break from work, treat myself to a snack or chat with a friend. This keeps me excited and motivated for the next step.
While I tell myself that I can accomplish anything, when it comes to motivation, I can be my own worst enemy and, as a result, I use positive affirmations to push myself to be the very best that I can be.
Making exquisite gifts just for you through the Bread and Butter Basket Company is one of the most important ways I keep myself motivated!
