Hello fellow Steemians!

Today's quote is by the American TV personality and country singer *Jimmy Dean*. I related with this a lot **since it can be really hard to stay focused on your goals, when things go bad. **

How do you stay focused?

The main thing is to keep your vision strong and know it is going to happen, this technique is called visualisation many people use to use the imagination to create the image of the goal they want, and then strive to get that.

The best way is to visualise in your mind during meditation or when you are calm, and creating a mental image of your goal using all the five (or more) senses.

Visualisation has a strong impact on your sympathic nervous system, which triggers your fight or flight system. By practising this you are letting your neural pathways be accustomed to the idea, so it will feel familiar to achieve your goal. A good visualisation doesn't have to be long 5-10 minutes is perfect.

Feeling unconfident to achieve your goals

Many people suffer from not feeling comfortable with achieving something great or higher than what is in their comfort zone.

These issues can come from other problems of self esteem relating to family history, childhood, anxiety, depression, etc. But to the core they are related to feelings of not deserving.

This is a perfectly normal human emotion do don't feel scared, but it can hinder you on your path to your goals. Practicing self-love and acceptance will tremendously help this, since everybody deserves the very best for themselves.

Techniques such as mantras, meditation, having the right environment, taking care of your health, developing hobbies are common things people do to achieve this.
