With just five days left in 2014 many of us are evaluating the past year and making preparations for the coming one. If you have completed this task kudos to you and if you don't believe in setting new years resolution's you can always break them down in smaller monthly goals. I have always planned and set goals for myself, for as long as I can remember.Back in high school my plans and goals use to be quite daunting, though I achieved many of them in the long run, at that time I had not yet garnered the concept of short term and long term goals and as a result I use to get quite disheartened when I saw that I have goals and plans that where simply not coming to fruition.
Today I will share a few tips I've picked up over the years as it relates to planning.In order to effectively plan and carry out that which we have planned there are a few things we need to do. They are Observe , Reflect and focus.
Observe , we need to look around and looking within ,what is it that I need to improve on,How can I do better in this area of my life. In order to identify what we need to do we need to have a clear vision of where we are and where we need to be.
Reflect,look back on the approach taken thus far. What have I been doing,did it help me in accomplishing what I need to get done.In order to move forward we have to reflect and take notes form the past.
Finally the most important and undoubtedly the most challenging part reaming focus. It so hard to keep focus on our goal.For me I want to eat clean but every day I have to see chocolate and sweets and ice cream and thought the heart is willing the flesh is weak. being focus is super hard there are so many distractions around. Simply goals like eating properly become a task.However half the battle is in the mind. Remind yourself of the reason for this goal ,write it out ,place it some where you can see. Focus is a mental function, there fore we have to visaulize overcoming the challenges.
I hope this was helpful and I wish you all the best for 2015 .
