As you can see, that is quite a list. Check out my previous post from January 2020. A lot has changed since I wrote that post and 2020 sure has not shaped up to be the year I wanted! However, I have persevered, and continued to chip away at my goals! This is how I stay on track. It is no perfect plan and I do have slip-ups, but it is always a work in progress and at least I am moving forward.
- Write your goals down (preferably somewhere that you will see them daily). I write mine in my journal and calendar.
- Every week revisit the goal you are currently working on (or goal(s)). Make notes about where you are in the process of making this goal, what is holding you back, what is working. I do this in my journal daily.
- Give yourself a pat on the back when you can mark a completed goal off your list! Or go buy a new outfit!!! That’s what I did. (Sorry hubby, I know this affects the whole saving money goal.)
- Adjust goals as needed. COVID has thrown a wrench and wreaked havoc on a lot of lives. Emotionally, physically, and financially. It is ok to be realistic and adjust goals.
- Understand that it takes time. Like the quote above from Confucius, you can not move a mountain but you can start with small stones.
