Small Steps In Achieving Bigger Goals

BlissfulSummer February 2nd, 2017

We all face problems throughout our lives , some are severe and some are not but the main part is getting up after falling down and have the determination to achieve our goals and staying motivated to do so.

Do you want to lose weight but then crave for junk food ? Do you believe that being regular in your work is important but still start before deadlines ?

Today , I am here to share my experiences and tell you guys what I have learnt � from it .

My � journey from being an introvert to extrovert , from being a perfectionist to accepting the fact that imperfections are a part of everyone�s life(working on it) �, from being lazy to being motivated , from being the queen of procrastination to being regular hasn't been easy either , like many of you here .

These changes were not sudden , they were gradual and slow. The people who know me now , have always thought that all these qualities were natural to me and not something I had to work for. It happens with all of us doesn�t it ? People don�t see the effort you put through, they just assume you are born with it and it�s one of your innate quality or its other factors that has helped you , as it is generally called �the actor-observer effect�.

Do not change for others but change for you and for the best. Here are some tricks and tips which has �helped many individuals , including me , change our ways :

1. 30 DAY COMMITMENT –

Three to four weeks is all the time you need to make a habit automatic. If you can make it through the initial conditioning phase, it becomes much easier to sustain. So be determined to do it and � eventually become your habit !

2.DO NOT BE SCARED OF FAILURE-

Most of the time being scared is what prevents us from trying and we assume we are not good at it. For example: I was extremely scared of public speaking when I was younger , I avoided it whenever I could. Eventually, I realized that being scared won�t help me progress and I started taking it as a challenge. �

3.GRADUAL STEPS:

You can�t just wake up and expect yourself to take a 180 degree turn. Instead set small goals. Be committed to whatever you want to do. For me, I started with answering questions in class even though it was difficult �.Initially, I would feel my heartbeat rising fast but I overcame that feeling after awhile. So make sure to focus on taking small steps which will evntually lead to bigger change .

4.REMIND YOURSELF:

It is easy to give in to the temptation and lead your usually life so keep reminding yourself why you are doing it and what you will benefit out of it.

5.DO IT FOR YOURSELF –

Like I always say, do it cause YOU want to and motivate yourself and the aura emitted by you will make others admire you as well :D �

Also , there is this story "Deep Waters" by William Douglas , which inspired me (Try reading it , if you can)heart

LET ME KNOW BELOW WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS AND YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS :D

Hey There!

A lovely post there. It must be really hard for you to turn from an introvert to an extrovert! I'm personally happy being an introvert, so I wouldn't change that about myself!

I guess life is always about setting goals and trying your best to achieve them. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. My favourite part: "Do not change for others but change for you and for the best" My friend has recently been dieting and I was worrying that he was pushing himself too hard and for the wrong reasons. Turns out he really was. He is now getting the support he needs instead of changing for other people, not himself.

I hope you have a lovely day! heart

Summmerrrrr! I can't really put into words how similar we were and are after reading your post! I too have struggled with perfectionism. Becoming free of those feelings has been the best thing ever. Your methods are exceptionally correct for someone who's trying to make a change.So proud of you,twinie. Keep being amazing 💖💖💖💖
