Write down your goals

The average human being has on average 50,000 thoughts a day. The whole point of goal setting is to help you gain clarity, focus and direction, and these thoughts can force your attention away from your own goals. Writing down your goals on paper (or even your mirror) will help you to focus on what is important to you.

Set goals you're passionate about

This already increases your chances of smashing your goals. A quick tip to find out if the goal is something you really want to achieve, ask yourself 'Why do I want to achieve this?' three times. By asking yourself, 'Why?' three times, you'll dig deeper and really get to the true root of why you're doing what you set out to achieve.

Share your goals with a family member or friend

The journey towards achieving your goals is always going to be challenging. Doing it on your own and maintaining that self-belief can be difficult sometimes, so that’s why it's important to have help along the way. When you share your goals with some one close to you, it makes you both accountable and gives you a communication channel for support.

Take consistent action

Now that you know what your goal is and how you're going to achieve it, the next and most important part of making it happen is by taking action consistently. The trick is to get into the habit of taking consistent action day-in day-out. Don't feel like going to gym? Go for a walk around the block with your dog instead.
