timeline, place benchmarks for every 3-5 things you complete. You have to remember that the fun part is the journey! Take time to pat yourself on the back for heading in the right direction and staying focused.
6. Keep Your Dream Close
I say this figuratively and physically. Keeping your dream and goals in the forefront of your mind is imperative to you accomplishing it. Make sure to dedicate something pertaining to it each and every day. It can be an IG post of your progress or even a sticky note written to yourself with a quote of motivation. You have to always be thinking of your goals to find the urgency within them. Also, not everyone needs to know your goal. That’s right.
According to Psychology Today, if you tell others your goals, you’re less likely to accomplish them. When you speak to someone about what you want to do and how you’re going to do it, it allows room for determent. People have their opinions, and often project how they feel you should see yourself. Not to mention, when someone does like your idea they will most likely applaud and praise you before you’ve even broken ground, leaving your endorphins feeling a sense of accomplishment and taking the urgency out of your initial goal.
