How to Set Goals and Achieve Them in 2018

Hello everyone, Don’t make the mistake of over-complicating goal setting for the new year. Why am I sharing this with you it's because there is a lot of wealth on information, there is a lot of videos about how to set goals, how to be successful in them and trust me I tried so many of those and I was really unsuccessful and what in the last couple of years I have been doing and I was successful with it I thought of sharing it with you. Because I know that we're different people and not everything works the same for us. So maybe something that has worked for me will also work for some of you.

The very first thing that I do that I tend to do is I try and avoid setting goals in the beginning of the year. I know it's a little bit strange but bear with me because I feel like if you set two goals in the beginning of the year you did because of the peer pressure and sometimes you set the goals that you don't really mean or want or you're not very dedicated to achieve.

Like sometimes people say oh I'll start going to the gym everyday this year. So what I tried to do is I set either just a few days or months before the goal and or after and sometimes this I set goals two to four times a year. So don't set I don't have like one day to where I set goals for the whole 12 months. I actually set goals for the next two months.

I will have probably a generic goal and then I will have sub goals that will have a shorter time a month or two months. So I can evaluate them on a regular basis. Such a goal could be replacing their milk with plant-based milk. Just see notice for the next 30 days how my body feels if and if I like it or if there any difficulty so just look at pros and cons and then after that if I want to go a step further if I see that my body responds very positively to plant-based milk then maybe I want to keep it for another month or two months or for the rest of the year and then adding something else like for example instead of eating meat five times a week I would eat meat three times a week.

So making goals also specific as possible so you might have a generic goal such as stay healthy become healthier and then you will have sub goals and those sub goals are very important because you'll see that those are the ones that will help you achieve your bigger goal. So what I found is setting small and manageable goals and being specific with your goals on a regular basis is what helped me achieve them.

I also looked at my strengths and weaknesses and I realized that there are some areas where I would love to have an accountability partner so I can strive and I can keep on working very hard towards a certain goal like for example around my business because I'm not an expert and that having an accountability partner or someone that will have a second thought or opinion someone that has done things before or that just someone that I can call and say by the way I have done this I was really successful I find that helps and it is not a bad or a good thing it's just in some areas we do need support we do need help. So make sure you get it so you can achieve your goals if you really want to.

So those were my four tips on how to set new year's resolutions or how to make at least your new resolution successful. So the first one of them is:

Set up small, manageable and specific goals
Evaluate them after a month or two, allowing some time to test them out
Re-evaluate them and get them to the next level
