nothing. Therefore, while you should dream big, it is important to plan
small. Break down your big goals into smaller ones and then tackle them
individually. When it is broken down into achievable phases, it feels
more manageable and you are more likely to keep moving ahead. If you
want to run a marathon, you would start with a goal of running 10k,
rather than just focusing on the entire 26.2 to start. Then ensure you
celebrate each milestone along the way. This will help keep you
working hard and motivated.
3. BELIEVE IT:
To achieve a big dream you need to believe in it yourself. It sounds
simple, but so many people pursue a dream they feel is too big for them
or is just unachievable. The very first step to achieving your big dream
believes that it is possible.
4. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS:
When working towards a goal, it is important to have regular checks
to see how you are progressing. If you are not tracking well, it is time to
reassess and see what you can do to keep improving and succeeding. If
you are not where you want to be, that is okay too. Sometimes things
are not as easy as we expect and it just needs a little more hard work to
get ahead.
5. TAKE DAILY ACTIONS:
Dreaming is nothing without action. Take daily actions to turn your
big dream into reality. No matter how small, every action you take gets
you one step closer to your big dream, and every day you take action
you build momentum. A small action every day might not feel
significant at the time, but over time, little things add up. Just imagine
what you could achieve in a year if you did one small thing every single
day to move toward your big dream!
6. GET MOTIVATED:
When working towards a big goal or dream, it is important to stay
motivated every day. Motivation does not always come constantly or
easily, so I find writing down your ‘why’ and practicing visualizations
of how you will feel once you reach your goal are both awesome tools
to help with motivation.
