7 Secrets to Staying Motivated to Reach Your Goals

June 18, 2014 by Debra Kasowski Leave a Comment

Staying motivated can be tough. For some, the idea of setting goals can be simply overwhelming. The extra demand that would put them over the edge. Achieving your goals does not have to be a daunting task and it should not be.

There are challenges that arise. The challenges should not stop you as the sweetness of success alone should propel you. Think about what is really stopping you: not getting enough sleep, the belief that you need to look and talk a certain way, or even the money in your bank account. Look around you – there are people sleeping more or less hours than you and achieving goals. There are people of all shapes and sizes creating the life of their dreams. There are people with more or even less money than you but they are unstoppable. What is your excuse for not rising to the challenge?

The secrets are out! The solution is a lot easier than you think.

Here is what you can to to stay motivated:

1.  Make IT a game- FUN! Bust out of the routines. Break patterns of boredom. Create strategies or even make a game board so you can have a visual representation of your goal or journey. Make it real! Consider blogging about your journey or sharing it on social media platforms.

2.  Create a compelling reward. What would make the challenge worth your while. Is a day at the spa or a day of golfing and dinner at the clubhouse? What would it be for you?

3.  Celebrate the”small” successes. As you acknowledge all the small tasks or steps you are taking you create a momentum to fuel you through any challenges.

4.  Take at least one action step every day. When you know you are taking action every day you know that in one month you have taken 30 action steps toward your goals. You may have even gotten excited and accomplished more. Do you think you could take one action every day? They do not have to be monumental steps or huge leaps of faith (they can but do not have to) to make an impact. Imagine what could be accomplished in the here and now!

5.  Ink your goals. Write them down on a 3 x 5 business card and keep them in your sight to remind you of what you want to accomplish. This action will help you keep focused and can be used as a tool to make decisions based on your priorities.

6. Find an accountability partner. Achieving your goals can even be more fun when you are helping someone reach their goals at the same time you are striving to meet yours. They can call you on your excuses and challenge you to step up to the plate and push through your fears. They can be there when you need someone just to listen to you as your mindset plays tricks on you (and we know it will).

7. Be aware of your emotions. Do not let how you feel hold you back from the action you know you must take. Sometimes you need to do the things you need to do even when you do not want to. Think about the trash in your home. You may not want to take out the trash but if you did not…what would happen over several weeks? I do not recommend you experiment with this. The point being – you need to do what must be done even when you so not necessarily feel like it.

Motivation is the key to pushing through to success. It helps you  challenge assumptions and dispel any myths you may have been telling yourself. The journey itself is where the greatest excitement occurs. When focusing on accomplishing your goals, reaching the destination just seals the deal! Whatever you do – do not quit!

What do you do to stay motivated when trying to reach your goals? I would love to hear what you do! Share this post with others.

How to Stay Motivated When Your Success Is Just Around The Corner

July 8, 2012 by Debra Kasowski 2 Comments

It can be difficult to stay motivated and focused when times get tough or challenging. You may even feel like you are the only one that events are happening to. Let me reassure you, there are many others going through their own challenges as well. What one person sees as a challenge, another sees as an opportunity for growth. I have found that it is not until you actually share what some of your challenges are that people open up compassionately and share their challenges too.  Vulnerability makes us human.

In our weakest moments, we need to gain our greatest strength. People often quit their pursuits just when they are about to achieve success because, “It is just too hard to continue.”

Here are some tips to help you stay motivated when your success is just around the corner:

  1. Stop and look how far you have come. Make a list of all your accomplishments over the past 12 months. Take some time to acknowledge your success or wins! Treasure them. Who have you become in the process?
  2. Write down what you want to accomplish – your goals. Keeping them in your head does not help others in supporting you. Not only should you write them down, you should share them with someone you trust – someone who can hold you accountable so you can achieve your goals.
  3. Break your next project into small pieces. Each step you take gets you closer to your end goal. Plan to do 1-2 daily tasks to get closer to reaching yoru goal. Before you know, you will see the end.
  4. Work on your hardest task first each day. The rest of your day with move with ease. You already have accomplished so much!
  5. Don’t be so hard on yourself. You can feel challenged but do not be so tough on yourself that you do not even want to attempt anything. Evaluate your expectations, are they realistic for you and the time frame you gave yoursel?. Instant results does not mean those results are repeatable or sustainable. Be there for the long haul. Avoid comparing yourself to others – there is no comparison!

You have not gotten to where you are today by accident. The choices you have made have brought you to where you are today. Ensure you have some down time so that you can enjoy your success as you turn the corner!

I would love to hear some of the ways you stay motivated and some of the successes you have discovered just around the corner.
