Unlocking Your Full Potential- Attaining Your Goals
Think of one goal you have had for more than 6 months. Now ask yourself, "What has been holding me back?"
I can almost guarantee they are excuses made by none other than yourself. Unfortunately we tend to be our own worst hurdle.
Whether we stunt our growth out of fear, lack of confidence or support, it is usually us that prevent our goals and dreams from becoming a reality. Do you think if you would have started working towards achieving your goal it would have already been met? Do you see yourself still in the very same position 6 months from now? Did you know that by following the tips I am about to share with you you will be on your way to achieving your goals? I hope you are smiling and have realized that attaining your goals might be easier than you thought!
- Make your goal visible and audible.
If you are able to see your goal whether it is in writing or through an inspiration goal, our mind feels it is more tangible than what we'd think otherwise. Seeing is believing and being able to see your goal makes it more realistic. Also, by telling others, whether it may be on social media or conversation, we realize we have told others and this might motivate us to act upon realizing our dreams. It's like we are cheering ourselves out loud. And others will most likely by supportive and ask you where you are at along the way, thus reminding you and keeping you going.
2 Break it down and set time frames. If your goal or dream seems to big and exhaustive, break it down into smaller time frames. For example, make a 1 week milestone in which you will take time to figure out what you need to get together. Then in another month set another milestone, then 6 months and a year. Write down what it is you wish to accomplish by those times and before you know it you have made your dream a reality!
3 Be committed. Commit to yourself this is what you want and this is what you'll have. After all it is your goal and you will benefit the most out of achieving it. If you fall, dust yourself off and recommit yourself. You have to remember you are your biggest cheerleader!
By following these tips you will see a great difference in getting to where your inspiration board tells you you should be at.
What is a goal you have made for yourself to achieve by the end of the year?

It's good advice, but surprisingly hard to follow. Telling others is a great idea to make you try to follow through with things.
One comment I'd make on the setting of time frames is they have to be achievable time frames, it sounds obvious but depending on the goal it can be very hard to be realistic yet optimistic at the same time.
So many goals, so little time.
I always tell my clients that according to break up their goals into realistic frames. Here I was just giving an example on the time. If a client has trouble being realistic and/or optimistic that's when us Life/Wellness Coaches come into play :)
I appreciate you stopping by my blog! ⭐️
All good advice.

My golly! I could just come here for the terrific photography alone and be happy -- you have the eye. So, so pretty.
Solid advise. Sometimes just showing up for yourself is a victory and then with conviction and visualization the world is your oyster, errrr, abalone. ;)
Haha well put friend! And thank you! I'm blushing now ☺️
So beautiful! I freakin love your blogs!
Aww you are sugar sweet!🍭
Very well said! I have always been decent about setting goals and time frames to achieve something and that is quite helpful but the part in number one about telling friends or making it public is very good. I found having a youtube channel was the thing that really got both Mr. Rain and me better about getting the things done we wanted or needed to get done. When you have people holding you accountable, that can be the game changer!
So very true, I hate looking like a liar so I have to walk the talk if I tell someone my plans haha
No goals set for the next six months... just survive them :-) the plan is to go with the flow for the time being.
Go with the flow, smooth sailing sometimes is great too!
