The Key Ingredients
Having goals in our lives is important. For some, merely creating goals brings about
a positive change. When you make a goal, you are creating an exciting challenge for
yourself. To make sure you meet that challenge with the right tools, you will need
to do three things.
1. Write It Down
The first step is to write your goal down on paper. This may seem like a simple step,
but it makes your goal visible and tangible. Get out a clean sheet of paper,
and write your goal down in clear words.
It doesn't have to be a big dream for it to be useful. Any goal you have should be
written down. It should also be somewhere you will look often, or pass by during the day.
2. Break it Down
You may have a goal of losing weight. This alone seems like a difficult thing to do.
But when we break this goal down into its different parts, these smaller goals become
easier to handle. Losing 10 lbs. seems overwhelming, but losing 1 lb. a month for ten
months is something you can definately do.
3. Remind Yourself
With so many things to do during your busy day, your goals can sometimes be put aside.
Write yourself a reminder, and place it where it will be seen often. Your fridge, bathroom
mirror, or desk are just a few of the places where you could post your goal.
