Tip #4 for Helping You Stick to Your Goals

from The Accountability Minute:Business Acceleration|Productivity · host Anne Bachrach

Today, we are talking about Tip #4 of the 4 tips for helping you stick to your goals, which is: Do You Want To Start Over Again? When you realize that each decision could carry a consequence, you can begin to make better decisions. If you spend energy and time doing the work, it doesn’t take too much “undoing” or “starting again” before you discover you do not want to do something twice or three times if you only have to do it once. We see this time and time again in people who unconsciously (sometimes consciously) sabotage their hard work. They take two steps forward - then three steps back. They go to the gym only to go home and over-indulge in a bowl of ice cream. They run five miles each day for two weeks only to spend the next six months being sedentary. They quit smoking for one week only to avoid kicking the habit for another year. When you realize the amount of work that goes into achieving your goals, taking two steps forward only to take three steps back hardly seems worth it. Each day is a new opportunity to make even better choices. The next time you’re tempted to go back on your promise or get off track from your success, stop. Stop and ask: Do I want to undo the work I’ve already done? Do I really want to start over again? Above all, remember that life can sometimes come at you unexpectedly. There is no failure in temporary distractions as long as you get back on track, headed in the direction in which you desire to go. Put an end to the procrastination cycle and make progress on your goals with my Guide to Stopping Procrastination!
