6 simple steps to get closer to your goal

Every day you either walk up to the goal, or move away from it. If you are making concrete steps, you can be confident that moving to the goal. If you do nothing, then move away from it, lose momentum, start living on inertia. By following these steps, you will know that you are moving toward your goal every day.

1. Make a clear idea of ​​what you want to achieve

You can not move to the goal if you do not have a clear understanding of what constitutes the goal. This picture should be specific. You do not just want to "find a better job." You need to clearly imagine what it would be for the position and why it will be better. You do not just want to "work on yourself." Instead, you should have a clear idea of ​​what you will do and how it will change your life.

2. Regularly submit your success

In order to more clearly understand the purpose, as often as possible, visualize its achievement. Try to imagine it as detailed as possible, perhaps even target shall describe in great detail. Whenever you lose heart, get the opportunity to retire and imagine your success.

3. Link the achievement of its goals with great pleasure

The third step is to create an association between the achievement of your goals and the great pleasure that it brings. This may be a natural consequence of the rendering process in step two. Think about how you will feel when you reach success. What will it be like? How much joy it will bring? How will you celebrate? Try as much as possible to achieve a deeper and more realistic degree of pleasure. The more pleasure you associate with achieving your goal, the easier it will be to get out of your comfort zone and do what is necessary to achieve it.

4. Tie a lot of pain with the thought of failure

Another motivator in encouraging you to your destination, is the pain that you associate with the fact of its failure to reach. The school is the motivation that compels students to write an essay on the day before the deadline for submission - the pain of failure for them is very clear. What kind of pain you associate with failure to reach your goals? What are you NOT to be? How it will look in the eyes of others? How would you feel? Clearly get a feel these pains, and use them as a call to action. However, be careful to use only the pain. Remember that failure is not inevitable. On the other hand, you know that you can achieve your goals.

5. Try to do something important every day to achieve your goals

As I said at the beginning, every day that passes without a forward motion toward your goal, separates you from it. So you need to do something every day to achieve it. Begin by identifying the major activities that will be needed for this. Each goal can be broken down into a series of steps, and those in turn - on matters that have to do. Need to do something every day from this list. This means that even in the days when you are busy with other things, tired, or when unexpected events take up your time, you still need to find a way to do something that will help to move forward. Even if it is a simple operation, it will save your personal momentum in the right direction.

6. Always be aware of your goal

You need to not only provide a clear picture of what you want to achieve, but always keep it in mind. There are many ways to constantly remind yourself of your goal. For example, you can make notes of the photos that you want to achieve. A few years ago I set a goal to get to the Olympics. I have compiled a collage with images of the Olympics and the cities where they were held. I put the board in a place where I could see it all the time at work. It helped me to make progress, which was necessary for the realization of my goal. Now, many years later, I went to four consecutive Olympics. You can also use your system calendar (such as Outlook or Google Calendar) to set a reminder. Let reminders to keep you focused on the goal you want to achieve.
These six steps are simple, but very effective. Apply them in practice, and you will achieve your goal!

Achieving goals through habits, based on you identity

Many of us think about changes we’d like to make in our lives. But a lot of them find that it very hard to change. In truth it not changes that are hard but changes to our behavior are hard. It because changes is not an events is a process!!  Whether we want to archive a healthy living life or archive a goal


Changes is a process that start with our self-awareness – awareness of the meaning that underlies the behaviors that we engage in such as unhealthy activities or activities that will not let us archive our goal or objective of the target that we had set.

Self awareness allows one to address the foundation of the issues where every behavior begins. rather than more surface-level things, Which leave the sometimes powerful foundation solidly in place. Insight is the key to unlocking the foundation from which everything else grows.

It will help you to be well aware of all the reasons and history that lead to your behavior and problem that hinder your changes in life in the first place.. Make it a lessons and  learned from pass habit and mistake and used them to make active changes in my life.  A catalyst for positive change. 

Second step which is very important in the process of changes is Thinking it is because  One right thought can correct a lot of bad behavior. In short if we want to have lasting change, the beginning point has to be our thought .


Habits based on the identity

The key point for the development of persistent habits is a preliminary focus on identity. Your current behavior - it's just a map of your current identity. What you are now - is the mirror image of the type of person that you think you are (consciously or not). To change your behavior for the better, you need to believe in your self.
 
Most Goal setting such as "I want to lose weight" or "I want to be stronger." both are excellent, but are very hard to do is your are not giving a clear and specific though in how to archive that goal.  Example "I want to lose 6 pounds" or "I want to squat with a 90-pound barbell." I want to walk for 10 minute each morning .When you have this in mind then your objectives will now centered around our performance or appearance.
 
Goals for performance and appearance is a  wonderful thing. However, they are - not the same thing as habit. If you have already developed their own type of behavior, then these goals will guide you along. But if you're trying to learn a new type of behavior, I think it is much better to start with a goal based on identity.
 
Changes by Identity

The inside of the changes in behavior and habits of the best achievements is your on line identity. Every action you take, is driven by a fundamental belief in what is possible to achieve results. Therefore, changing their identity (personality type, characteristic, in your opinion, to you), it is easier to change and their own actions.
 
The cause of the difficulties in developing new habits is that we eat to achieve targets for the appearance or performance, without changing its identity. Most of the time we seek to results without proving yourself that we have the identity of the type of person who wishes to become. And should be the opposite.

Recipe for Success -------- > Resistant

Change is what you believe, it is not as difficult as you might think. Here are two essential steps:
  1. Decide what type of person you want to be.
  2. Prove it yourself with the help of small victories.

Five examples of how to make this principle work in real life

Note. Impossible to underestimate the importance of starting with an incredibly small steps. Initially, achieving results is not the goal - the goal is to become the type of person who can deliver results. For example, a man who is constantly engaged in physical exercise, has the type of personality that will help him to become stronger. Therefore, we first had nurtured the identity of a person who is regularly engaged in physical exercise, and then go on to increase productivity and improve the appearance. Start the small and believe that the results will come with the development of its search for a new identity.
lose weight

Want to lose weight?

Identity: Become the type of person that is moving more every day.
A small victory: Buy a pedometer. Go walk 50 steps back from work. Tomorrow go 100 steps. A day later - 150. If you do it 5 days a week and add 50 steps every day, by the end of the year going to be doing more than 10,000 steps a day.

Want to become strong?

Identity: Become the type of person who never misses a workout.
A small victory: push-ups on the floor every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Do you want to become a better friend?

Identity: Become the type of person that is always connected.
A small victory: Call one friend every Saturday. If you repeat this with the same people every 3 months, you will become intimate with 12 old friends throughout the year.

Want to be taken seriously at work?

Identity: Become the type of person who always has time.
A small victory: Schedule a meeting with an additional 15-minute interval between them, so you can go from meeting to meeting, and always show up earlier than scheduled.
write a book

Want to write a book?

Identity: Become the type of person who writes 1,000 words a day.
A small victory: Write one paragraph on each day of the week.

What is your identity?

My experience is that if you want to become something better, to prove to himself his own identity - is much more important than to achieve stunning results, especially in the beginning. If you want to motivate and inspire yourself, watch the video on YouTube, listen to your favorite song, do some training in the style of P90X. But do not be surprised if the "burn out" after a week of it all. Do not rely on motivation. You must be a type of person that you want to be. And the first step to this - to prove himself a new identity.
 
Most people (including me) want to be better this year. However, many of us will set goals based on performance and appearance, in the hope that they will encourage us to do things differently. However, if you want to change, first of all, stop thinking about the results and pobespokoytes on a new identity. Become the type of person that can achieve the goals that you want to achieve. Develop a new habit now, and later will be able to come and result.

The Action Plan - the key to success

Many people set goals in life, often seeing them as something unreal, that will never come true. Often, you are getting, because they - just dreamers and do not take action to fulfill their dreams.
 
But desire is not enough just to do anything. In order to get out of life desired, it is necessary to take action. And the best way to achieve any goal - is a clear plan of action.
 
1) Decide on the purpose for which you wish to make a plan of action. For starters, take the most important goal towards which you want to focus all our efforts (by the time you want to make action plans for all important purposes).
 
2) List the steps you need to do to achieve this goal. You may doubt some steps in your plan - but this is normal. In this case (if you do not know exactly what to do) use the web for searching on how to plan. For example, if you want to open a business, Search in the internet for the various entrepreneurial resources that can be found in the net. Read the resource and how did they archive it and they advice and planing . It important to do a research first in order to create a plan of action, you need to know in detail  of the matter  from A - to Z . Read on success and failure of each business.  or if your are looking to make $100, 000  Review all the the option that you can take / resource available to do to achieve the goals. ( The most important part is reading  know what work and what need to avoid to archive the goal)
 
3) Select the date of the completion of the action plan. This is important. Make sure that you consider all of the factors that may affect the planned date, but stay realistic, making assumptions: You're not going to spend on it all his life?
 
4) Describe the steps you need to take to achieve the goal, by month or week. It is important to have a weekly and monthly schedule designed to perform tasks. This will be your time commitment that will help in the development of self-control.
 
5) Regularly look into a plan of action to make sure - you are on the right track. Of course, you can review it once a week or month to make adjustments. ( Looking at your action plan also sharpen your objective!!)
 
If you're doing it right, you can achieve anything! Flag Counter
