    As you work on achieving goals, remember that setting goals is an important first step.

    Try to:

     Imagine where you want to be. How does it look? What, specifically, is different? (For example,
    is something that's currently bothering you now missing, or has something been added to your
    current situation?)

     Research the benefits of your proposed change. This can help you to stay motivated, and be
    fully aware of how your life would change after achieving your goals.

     Determine what constitutes success. Ask yourself, 'How will I know when I've met my goal? How
    will I know when I'm off-track?' and write down your answers in a journal.

     Visualize success. Experiment with law of attraction principles of visualizing what you want.
    Whether you believe in 'the law' or not, these techniques can really add to motivation, and help
    clarify goals as well.1

     Create a vision board to remind yourself of your main goals and keep them in the forefront of
    your mind in a pleasant way.

    Focus on setting SMART goals. These goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-
    bound.2

    Break Down the Steps to Achieve Goals

    How can you reach your major goals and most ambitious dreams without burning out and losing
    motivation in the process? How can you get where you want to be when it's difficult to maintain a new
    habit for more than a week or two?

    The secret lies in breaking large goals into smaller ones. This keeps each step do-able and allows you to
    reward your progress along the way.3

    This is also the secret to reaching several goals at once; you have enough energy to meet several small
    goals in the same time frame and work toward achieving large goals in multiple areas of your life. When
    breaking down goals, consider the following:

    Determine Your Overall Goal

    First, find the large goals that you want to meet. Then, look at each step it would take to get there, each
    rung in the ladder up. Try to identify steps that build on the completion of the ones before.

    Break the Goal Into Smaller Steps

    Next, break those steps down, if possible. Keep dividing the steps until you create small behavioral goals
    that can be achieved in a month or so—or even a week. (Some people like to have a goal for each day!)

    Work on Maintaining the Right Difficulty Level

    If the goals are too small and easy, you won't feel challenged and may lose motivation; feel free to
    increase their difficulty. If you find that your goals are too difficult, give yourself permission to set easier
    goals before you lose confidence, burn out and give up. Setting the right pace is an important part of the
    process.

    Enlist Help to Achieve Goals

    It's often difficult to work on achieving goals in a vacuum—having people to offer support and help you
    keep your motivation up while you're working toward your goals is key.4

    Enlisting support from those close to you, from those in your community, and from others can make the
    difference between you feeling that you're swimming against the stream, and feeling you're being
    carried along toward your goal.

    Here are some ways in which you can use the support of others to push you along toward achieving
    goals:

    Get Support From Friends and Family

    If you tell everyone in your close circle what your plans are, you're more likely to follow through. Why?
    Some people are afraid to let people down or to look 'flakey'; others enjoy the support and 'high fives'
    that they get from family and friends.

    Simply having someone ask, 'How's it coming with that goal?' provides an opportunity to revel in
    successes or gain support in getting back on track.

    Find a Partner in Striving

    If you have a buddy who has a goal similar to yours (or perhaps even an unrelated goal, if you use your
    imagination), you can be coaches, cheerleaders, and celebration partners for one another.5

    You'll be even more reluctant to let your partner down because you'll know they depend on you to an
    extent for their success as well; likewise, your victories will be even sweeter because you'll both be
    excited by them!

    This can help you both stay on track better than if each of you worked on your goals separately.
