Dream Drifter

sweet nothing

1. Choose your friends carefully and wisely.

2. Spend time doing things that are meaningful to you, and which replenish your energy.

3. Be careful about being in situations you know will overwhelm you.

4. Don’t compare yourself to others; and don’t let others push you around.

5. Give yourself plenty of alone time.

1. Keep busy and active. If you get into the habit of just sitting around you’ll find your motivation will start to disappear – as achieving goals takes effort, commitment and hard work.

2. Hang out with motivated people. The people we hang out with tend to influence us the most. So, if you hang out with go-getters they’ll help inspire you too – and, like them, you’ll want to persevere, reach your dreams and goals.

3. Make sure you have a concrete goal. Wishful thinking and daydreaming won’t make much of a difference. You need to be determined and formulate clear goals.

4. Tell other people about your plans and goals. Telling others what your goals are keep us more accountable – and stops us getting sidetracked, dropping out or giving up.

5. Seek out a role model. A role model can help us to visualise the steps and actions that are needed to lead us to our goals. Also, it’s likely they’ve encountered some obstacles and setbacks – and that can help inspire us when we meet a roadblock, too!

6. Expect to encounter bumps and obstacles. We all encounter obstacles, setbacks and roadblocks – and knowing that will happen can prepare us mentally. Don’t see that as a reason to give up on your dreams.

7. Break larger goals down into smaller, bite sized goals. That will increase your motivation as you’ll quickly reach small goals, and the end seem much closer, and more achievable.
