1. Stop fantasising: ย Those with too rosy a picture of the future tend to put less effort into reaching their goals. Instead, itโs better to be open to some things going wrong. It will help you see the obstacles - and think through beating them.
2. Visualise process NOT outcome: If you can think through all the steps you will forge a better plan โฆ and it will also help reduce anxiety.
3. Be committed: You wonโt achieve anything without getting started; and you wonโt ever finish if you give up easily.
4. Beware of the โwhat-the-hell effectโ: Too many just give up when they stumble or fall down. For example, think of all the dieters who binge at the first hurdle. Itโs better to get up โ and see a trip as very normal. Itโs happens to us all โ so donโt abandon your plan.
5. Attack procrastination: Itโs easy to procrastinate when getting goingโs tough. Make a start, keep your head down, and set yourself some deadlines. Once you start youโll feel much better and the road wonโt seem so hard.
6. Switch out of robot mode: A lot of behaviour is robotic and habitual. We copy other people or we do โthe same old, same oldโ. Take stock โฆ and change those patterns โฆ if they donโt lead to your goals.
7. Know when enough is enough: Sometimes we also need to know when thereโs no point going on. Weโre flogging a dead horse and thing are never going to change. Itโs time to alter your direction or to work on something else.
