Achieving Goals

You might want to consider whether you are placing unrealistic expectations on yourself or expecting results too soon. A review of your goals might allow you to see how hard you have been working. If you can then engage in positive self-talk, you will infuse yourself with a dose of confidence in your abilities. 

Rather than trying to accomplish everything at once and draining your energy in the process, you might want to put a new plan into effect that allows you to see steady, consistent progress over a longer period of time. Split your goals into baby steps.

Our willingness to release our expectations and focus on enjoying each step of our journey will allow us to make steady, consistent progress toward our goals. We often get attached to a certain outcome and feel the need to control every aspect of our process. If we can release our expectations about how things need to go and approach our goals with optimism and an open mind, we can be focused and relaxed. Though our results may not be as dramatic or immediate as we initially expected, we can feel good about our gradual progress. Before long, we will have accomplished our goals without draining our energy. 


Releasing your unrealistic expectations and adopting a more realistic, steady plan will allow you to accomplish all your desires with ease.
