Day 22: People in their 30’s should Use Perseverance and Discipline to Reach Their Goals
Establishing a discipline, and achieving that intrinsic motivation that drives us to be dedicated to our goals can be very complex. These tips may help you change your ways and get you to the starting line of your own race.
Write down the goal that you want to achieve. It is important to establish a goal that is realistic, objective, and measurable. If we set ”impossible” goals for ourselves then we will fall into a mental state of frustration and helplessness when we see that no matter our efforts, they do not bring us closer to our goal. It is a moment of reflection so take your time.
Divide it into smaller goals. The road is long and costly, and it doesn’t make sense to travel for so long without taking small breaks. It is important to divide the ultimate goal into small steps that lead up to it. This will allow us to gain momentum and motivation to see what we can overcome day by day.
Make it a habit. “I barely have time to breathe!” How many times have we heard that in our lives? But it is NECESSARY to put aside time every day to work on what we have set out to do. It is difficult, that’s for sure, but with an agenda and good planning, you can get it done.
Awareness is what allows us to process those negative emotions that push us to give up. It is the awareness that allows you to accept failure without shame and without overreacting. Ultimately, it is the awareness that helps us let go of limiting beliefs that make it difficult for us to stay on the right path. It is difficult to create that self-discipline, but let’s think of small goals and conquer them, little by little we will create that self-discipline.
If you can control your emotions, you can persevere in anything, as long as you want.
