1.Focus on one Goal
The most common mistake that people make when they focus on many goals because that take from you more energy and motivation.you should focus on one Goal completely after that you can do your other goals .
2.Find inspiration
search for people who reach their goals and read success stories.
3.Think positive
Try think about things in a positive way and when you think negative thoughts-stop your self.
4.Take a rest
Make for yourself a time to relax and do what you love.
you are not a machine.
5.Never compare between you and others.
only compare you to you -you will not be them and they will not be you.
6. Write your goals and reasons to reach them.
post them on your computer,wall and bathroom mirror so it will be easy to you to stay focused.
Good advices! Regarding point 3: it is difficult to stop negative thoughts from popping up in your head! When you try to stop negative thinking it tends to make things worse, don't you agree? Still, thanks for sharing! :)
Hi there, @harmonhi! I agree, this point can be difficult. Some things I have read and/or tried include visualizing a STOP sign as soon as you realize you are having a negative thought. Have it bop you right in the nose! Or wear a rubber band around your wrist and snap it when you have a negative thought. These are cues to direct you to more positive thinking. If I'm in a rut of negativity, I plug into my iPod playlist of positivity (e.g., Deepok Chopra, Thicht Naht Hanh) and go on a brisk walk. Also, if you smile, you'll feel better. Try it, right now :)
Hey @innerlight, thanks for the tips! :) The thing I struggle with is noticing that I'm having negative thoughts to begin with. I get carried away by my thoughts very easily, especially when i find myself in stressful situations. Not until i start my daily meditations sessions, I manage to step back and observe my thoughts from a more detached point of view which feels very relieving!! But i will definitely keep your advice in mind for the future when I managed to be more mindful throughout the day :) And you are right, smiling lifts the mood instantaneously! :)
Btw, your content seems to be awesome, we seem to share similar interest! I followed you for sure :)
Yes, the noticing can be challenging. That's great you have a meditation practice! Try to check in with yourself...say every hour or so (set your phone alarm or calendar alert at work) to spend a minute taking stock of your current mindset. If it is negative/stressful, do sometging immediately to change it. Eventually, you'll get into this habit of checking in and won't need the actual alerts. Following you, too :-)
I will try that out, thank you :)!
