How to Stick to Your Goals...Long Term

This is Natalie, Owner of Psych Me Up Consulting, providing you expert guidance on how to stick to your goals for the long haul.

Your Goals Should ALWAYS Be Changing

It's important to understand that achieving your goals is not a one-time event, but rather a process that requires consistent effort and dedication. This means that you must be willing to put in the work, and be patient as progress may not always be immediate. Remember to stay focused on the bigger picture and the reasons why you set these goals in the first place. Keeping a positive mindset and believing in yourself can make all the difference in achieving your long-term goals. With time and effort, you can turn your goals into reality and create a fulfilling life that you are proud of!

How Do I Design a Goal Guaranteed to Succeed?

When it comes to design, setting achievable goals is essential to ensure that your progress towards your ultimate goal is successful. Start by identifying the specific changes you want to make and establish a realistic timeline for completing them. Break down your ultimate goal into smaller steps, and prioritize them based on their importance and feasibility. This will help you focus on what needs to be done first and avoid feeling overwhelmed. For example, If your ultimate goal is to become a D1 athlete, what are the yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily steps that need to happen to get you one step closer to your ultimate goal?

How Can I Keep Track of My Progress?

Tracking your progress is always important in sport. Keep a record of your yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily goals either in a notebook, notes app on your phone, or a document on your computer. Really any place you will have easy access and that is convenient for you. This will help you see your progress and keep you motivated throughout the process. Don't be afraid to ask for feedback from others, such as friends, family, or a professional. This can help you refine your goals and ensure that your progress is on track.

Remember to Celebrate!

Remember to celebrate your achievements along the way, no matter how small they may seem. This will help you stay motivated and keep you focused on your long-term goals. Finally, make goal-setting a part of your daily routine by incorporating it into your lifestyle. This can include setting goals for your health and nutrition, attending goal setting events such as Psych Me Up's Live Digital Events, or using visualization and imagery to see your goals come to life. With these strategies, you can turn your athletic goals into a reality and create a determined mindset that guarantees success.
