How often have you tried to start a new life from Monday or, for example, from summer or new year? Full of determination, they made plans. However, many “buts” gradually appeared, the enthusiasm ran out and nothing “grandiose” ever came out.
The reason is that we focus on distant, not always clearly defined goals, neglecting the specific steps that lead to them. This is stated on the Psychological support page.
It is these “small steps” that are the same tasks, by performing which we gradually and relentlessly move towards the goal.
Why do we fail to achieve the goal?
- Lack of a clear plan. Define clear goals, break them down into smaller steps with specific deadlines.
- Insincere goals. Not all desires are truly ours. Some are imposed by society, but we are so used to thinking in this direction that we consider them our own. And when we begin to act to achieve such a goal, we lose interest in it.
- Lack of motivation. If the goal is not yours, you subconsciously resist it. When you are aware of the reasons why you need to achieve this goal, you will be able to create a more effective action plan.
- Overload. Don't rush into several things at once, because you won't get anything done. Changing habits is stressful for the brain.
- Lack of support. In the first stages, the moral support of loved ones is important. In a circle of like-minded people or just people who support you, starting something new will be much easier.
