Are Your Daily Choices Aligning with Your Long-Term Goals?

Reaching your long-term goals depends upon the actions you take each day. In A Pilgrimage to Self Lifestyle Coaching Membership, I encourage Kaizen...taking small continuous steps forward towards your goals. Every small step you take toward your ultimate destination will help you to get there. Unfortunately, it's easy to forget that and to become overwhelmed by the enormity of a goal.

Achieving it can seem impossible at times. This is especially true when you lose track of the details it takes to accomplish the desired result. You can avoid this trap by making daily choices that align with your long-term goals.

I'll show you how.

Do Something Every Day

As I've mentioned, taking baby steps toward your goals makes things so much more manageable. Your daily choices really do make a difference in how easily you will reach your ultimate goal. They also help to keep you motivated so that you don't run out of steam or willpower. Strive to do at least one thing each and every day that will bring you closer to reaching your goal. Creating short-term goals is also a part of a successful planning process.

Talk About Your Goals

We don't talk about our goals often enough. Many times, it's because we're afraid others will criticize our dreams. Or maybe it's because we don't want to be seen as failures if things don't work out. However, talking about your goals with others serves a number of purposes and is a great way to help bring them to fruition. When you talk about your desires, you're keeping them at the forefront and building excitement. In addition, you're creating accountability. This is another benefit of having a Success Coach...accountability. You'll want to work harder to achieve the things you've shared with others.

Consider Working Backward

A little-known strategy that has been shown to bring success is to work backward in attaining your goals. Take a look at your goal and then map out the steps it would take to achieve it, from completion to beginning. When you start with the end in mind, you are able to isolate the steps and develop the action steps that lead to your ultimate goal. This makes things seem a little less overwhelming and easier to get started. It can work really well to bring some goals to reality.

Look for Motivation

Part of maintaining your progress toward reaching a goal is staying motivated. Look for daily motivation in the little things. Find routines that can help you to do that. For example, a morning routine in which you focus on your goal and take part in activities such as journaling, meditating, and planning will keep your end-result at the forefront of your mind as you go through your daily routine. Implementing regular parts of your day to reinforce your goal will keep motivation flowing.

As always, make sure to check in with yourself and your coach on a regular basis to ensure that you're staying on track. This lets you adjust and celebrate successes.

Remember, the things you do every day truly are essential to reaching your long-term goals, and I'm confident that I can help you.

As I wrap up this post, I want to leave you with some questions:

What will your life be like this time next year if you don't strengthen your relationship with yourself?

What will it be like if you don't discover your purpose?

What will happen if you don't design and plan your next best action steps?

Who do you want to be? What's it going to take to get you to make progress on your goals?

YOUR time is now...invest in yourself and start your personal journey.

Until next time...

Cheers!

Lisa
