Unless you're a
teacher, stay at home Mum or some lucky devil chances are your holidays are
wrapping up and you're getting ready to start back at work for the New Year.
Crazy I know -
2015 boom done & dusted just like that! You were meant to be way more
prepped and 'ready' then what you are.
It
can be a daunting thing - the new year often represents a time where we need to
be highly motivated and ready to tackle the next 365 days smashing goals and
breaking barriers but if the new year has come around to quickly for you
chances are you aren't ready to face reality yet - you just need one more week
off because you were supposed to be way more organised then you are right now.
It's okay breathe.
I
feel you! As someone who relies on motivation for success this new year came as
a shock to me too.
So
how will we get through the next 365 days making them the best days possible?
It'll go a little something like this…
-Buy
a journal or note pad take time to sit down and jot down what it is that's
going through head - this a crazy time of year so this will help you see things
a little more clearly setting out what you want from the year. Simply if you
don't want something enough you won't do it.
-Seek
guidance/support/mentor - achieving goals solo can be super challenging wether
it's outsourcing help from someone who has done what you want to do, getting
support for your loved ones (thats a big one) or investing in a mentor who will
help plan and hold you accountable - this is something people often look over
or forget because they don't realise the amount of useful resources out there -
USE THEM.
-Make
a plan and chart it until it becomes routine - it can be hard to start a new
routine when you re stuck in old habits - a great way to overcome this is write
your new habits in a table (like the one at the bottom of this blog) you want
everything ticked daily & before you know if it you'll be doing it with
your eyes closed.
-Cover
all areas of life (core 4) - Goals aren't always about the body. Remember this. Are
you focusing too much on your body and letting it ruin your social
relationships with friends or partners? Or maybe you're too focused on your
work staying back late daily - this causes you to be unorganised and your body
will suffer, as will relationships & mental health. If you are to learn any
thing this year it is to learn balance. Work hard, be organised and healthy,
love and be loved, don't feel guilty for having 'you' time & eat that
occasional piece of chocolate. Finding balance is something so many of us
struggle with step back and see how your work life, relationships, mental
health & body are currently balancing out.
-Focus
– it’s easy to fall off the wagon and get back into old habits - one freddo
turns into one block very quickly when you're not focused (I know this form
personal experience). You should re-visit your goal on a monthly maybe even
weekly basis to re-assess, track your progress and ensure you are still on the
track for victory! If your goal is a big one that may take 6 months know it
won't happen over night and break it down into monthly targets then you'll know
exactly where you should be at the end of each month.
&
most importantly Start - DO NOT be one of those people who always SAY they are
going to do something and never follow through. The hardest part at times is
just starting. Get through that first step and break the barrier basically
don't be a pussy wishing they had of started months ago. Start NOW.
So
what are you waiting for? GO GET IT!
Stay
Strong & Stretch,
