If you’re struggling to stick to your new goals this year, stay tuned for five tips that will help you hold yourself accountable and propel you towards success.
Write It Down and Make It Visual:
The first step in holding yourself accountable is to put your goals on paper. Writing them down makes them feel more concrete and tangible. Take it a step further by creating visual reminders that surround you daily. Print photos representing your business or life visions and pin them to a wall you frequently see. This constant visual reinforcement helps you maintain focus and stay committed to your goals.
Break Down Bigger Goals into Monthly Milestones:
Yearly ambitions can seem overwhelming when viewed as a whole. Break them down into smaller, practical monthly milestones. Celebrate each achievement, even the smallest steps toward your big vision. This not only keeps you motivated but also allows you to track your progress and adjust your approach if needed. Remember, it’s okay to celebrate every step forward.
Share Your Goals with Others:
Voice your goals to friends, family, business besties, and anyone who can provide support. Verbally expressing your aspirations reinforces them in your mind, and knowing that others will follow up with you adds an extra layer of motivation. Consider sharing your progress with a close friend or a coach weekly. Accountability partnerships can be a powerful motivator on your journey.
Track Habits in a Journal or App:
Whether it’s a fitness app or a traditional journal, tracking your habits is crucial for accountability. Use an app to monitor your food intake, water consumption, or workout routines. Alternatively, opt for pen and paper. Visually seeing your consistency helps you stay on track and identify patterns that contribute to sustained success. Experiment to find what works best for you.
Create Visual Clues for Success:
Set up your environment for success by creating visual cues. If checking your phone first thing in the morning hinders your goals, invest in an alarm clock and move your phone to your workout room or prayer closet. Visual triggers, such as workout clothes at the end of your bed or sticky notes on your phone about your business, serve as reminders to stay focused and take action.
