NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS 5 WAYS TO STOP QUITTING ON YOURSELF
1. Realistic & specific with your Goals
We totally have talked about this a few times and we will post the previous episodes in the notes but make sure your goals are attainable and realistic and when you know that you can get really specific.
Go back and listen to our podcast from last week, we cover all of this and then some.
2. Have a strategy & Break down into pieces to progress. Small and sustainable
Once you have your goals you can create a road map. Do your research, hire a coach to help, take an online course but figure out what you need and work to get there with some daily habits and small action steps.
Assess your process. Atomic Habits teaches us that it's not the goal we struggle with, it's most often the process. We keep trying the same things over and over and they keep not working. So stop thinking this time, with the same strategies that you've always tried, will be different. If you want different results, you have to try different things.
3. Accountability. Get a friend Get a coach Connect on SM
Facebook groups are great for this! Having a coach or a friend to join you is also great. Even your partner, although that can get complicated!
Even as coaches, we need accountability. We stay accountable to each other in creating this podcast and these episodes. We are busy and our lives are in 2 very different places right now. One of the biggest things that we have found to help keep us on track and accountable is a website called Trello. It allows us to put our notes in, set deadlines, etc. that we can both see and it really helps keeps us organized.
4. Timing is everything! No one will never be 100% ready but trying to accomplish something big when your life is a dumpster fire is not the right time!
Understand where you are and what your bandwidth is.
You just have to start...you still need some kind of plan, but there is a certain level of learning as you go that is acceptable. Those small manageable steps that we've talked to you about, that's your starting point. Just start there and keep going.
5. Set some boundaries! This can be with your partner, friends, family....let people know what your goals are and don't be afraid to say no. Its not intentional but when you are working towards something some of those around you can keep you stuck in the same vicious circle of try and fail.
