2023-05-24 ~ adminlife

Today, we’re going to dive into some uncommon strategies that you can use to ensure your goals and values are in sync. This will help you unlock your full potential and reach new heights in your personal and professional life. So, let’s get started!

Before you can start to plan your success goals, there are many things that you need to understand before you can be sure that the goals you set are really the ones you want.

One of those things is to determine if there are any Limiting Beliefs that can stop you from actually achieving those goals.

I have a self-study Limiting Belief Program that you can go through to determine what your Limiting Beliefs are and how you can remove them.

You can read more and register for the program at Limiting Beliefs Program on my Confidence and Life Coaching website.

Start your journey on your path to success by identifying ad removing your Limiting Beliefs so that you make the journey a lot easier.

Reevaluate Your Values Regularly

As we grow and evolve, so do our values. It’s essential to keep a pulse on what matters most to you and adjust your goals accordingly. Don’t be afraid to let go of old goals that no longer align with your values. Remember, change is a natural part of life, and it’s better to embrace it than to resist it.

Embrace the Power of Visualization

Visualization is a powerful tool that can help you align your goals with your values. Imagine yourself achieving your goals and living a life that reflects your values. How does it feel? What does it look like? The more vividly you can picture it, the more motivated you’ll be to make it a reality.

Surround Yourself with Like-Minded Individuals

The people we spend time with have a significant impact on our thoughts, actions, and values. Surround yourself with individuals who share your values and support your goals. Their positive energy and encouragement will help you stay focused and motivated on your journey.

Make Your Goals Specific and Measurable

Vague goals can lead to confusion and a lack of motivation. To ensure your goals align with your values, make them specific and measurable. This will help you stay on track and make it easier to evaluate your progress.

Reflect on Your Progress Regularly

Take time to reflect on your progress and celebrate your wins, no matter how small. This will help you stay motivated and remind you of the importance of your goals and values.

Don’t Be Afraid to Adjust Your Goals

If you find that your goals aren’t aligning with your values, don’t be afraid to make adjustments. Remember, it’s better to change your goals than to pursue something that doesn’t align with your values.

So, are you ready to unlock your full potential and live a life that truly reflects your values? Don’t wait another day – start aligning your goals with your values today!

Remember:

Reevaluate your values regularly
Embrace the power of visualization
Surround yourself with like-minded individuals

Reflect on your progress regularly
Don’t be afraid to adjust your goals

You’ve got this! Let’s make it happen together.

Strategy #1: Embrace the Power of Visualization

Close your eyes and picture yourself achieving your goal. How does it feel? What does it look like? The more vivid the image, the more motivated you’ll be to make it a reality. Visualization is a powerful tool used by top athletes, CEOs, and even astronauts. If they can do it, so can you!

Strategy #2: Turn Your Goals into a Roadmap

Break down your goal into smaller, manageable milestones. This will not only make your goal seem less daunting but also give you a clear path to follow. Celebrate each milestone you achieve, and before you know it, you’ll have reached your ultimate goal.

Strategy #3: Surround Yourself with Positivity

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. So, choose wisely! Surround yourself with people who believe in you and support your goals. They’ll be there to cheer you on when times get tough and celebrate your victories with you.

Don’t Wait for “Someday”

It’s easy to put off your goals and dreams, waiting for the perfect moment to take action. But guess what? There’s no time like the present! So, don’t wait for “someday” to achieve your goals. Start now, and you’ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish.

Remember, the sky’s the limit when it comes to your potential. With the right mindset, clear goals, and a little help from Setting Clear Goals, you’ll be unstoppable. So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to unleash your inner executive and make your dreams a reality!

Why Other People Stop You From Being Successful

2022-12-28 ~ adminlife

There will be people who try to stop you from making changes in your life. Some may believe that they are actually trying to help you because they want you to stay as you are. This means that they feel comfortable because they are not improving themselves.

If you want to succeed, it can be very frustrating to find out that a lot of people are not actually on your side. You have to manage this if you do want to succeed.

If you would like to listen to these types of articles, you can visit my podcasts atThese are short, usually under 5 minutes but they can enable you to listen to confidence and motivation advice and tips while driving or relaxing.

How others can derail your path to success.

Your past failures are always mentioned. In the past, we have all failed. In an attempt to sabotage your success efforts, these people will bring up those past failures.

- Your goal is to climb all of the 14,000+ high peaks in the US. A friend may remind you that at a past summer camp you couldn’t climb the 2,000 foot peak. They may tell you that you should change your goal to something more reasonable.

They want you to feel guilty. Another weapon they use is to make you feel guilty. Using the mountain climbing goal, they may tell you that travelling is expensive and you should save the money for your child’s education. They could also tell you to spend the time required with your family.

Distraction. They may tell you that you should take a vacation with them and forget the mountains.

These are the least devious ways that the people try to sabotage your efforts. Why do they do this? They may present it as a way that is supportive even though it is not.

Why do those people close to you sabotage your efforts toward success?

They are comfortable with being mediocre. They have to deal with the facts that they have not done something amazing like you. This makes them feel that they are life losers. It is a lot easier to hold you back than to deal with their own fear, insecurity and laziness.

They are jealous. Some people are jealous of your success. Others may be happy to see you achieve success, like winning a lottery or lose weight. People will try to stop you and if they can’t stop you they will try to make your success feel diminished.

They may say that they could lose weight if they had as much free time as you do.

They don’t like changes. People are getting something from you or else they wouldn’t associate with you. Any changes you make threatens the status quo. If you change and become something different what does that leave them.

If you stay the same, it is easier for them.

What you need to do, in the face of all of these objections is to commit yourself to bring successful. You may want to remove the worst of the offenders from your life. Life is difficult enough without having your own friends and family trying to make it even more difficult.

Make sure that you commit to your goals for the right reason. Achieving them to impress others is a shallow reason. You have to do it for yourself.

You should consider keeping your bigger goals to yourself so that you. Will get less push back and resistance from others. You don’t have to wait for the approval of others, just choose what is best for you and go after it.

Your dreams come true in the right environment

2022-11-09 ~ adminlife

Even though people have dreams and aspirations, not many people actually achieve their goals. You are more likely to achieve your goals when you have a supportive environment and are surrounded by positive influences.

You can create an environment that will help your dreams to come true.

Supportive people. It is very challenging to keep yourself motivated to achieve your dreams if you are surrounded by people who keep telling you that you will never achieve them. You need to find people who support and encourage you to be around.

Your happiness, health and a longer life are increased when you spend time with like-minded people.
When things get tough, you are less likely to give up and will feel more confident when you know that people who believe in you are around.
With a supportive group of people it will be easier to achieve your goals by being able to get feedback on your ideas.
Keep your space to support you achieving your dreams that is not cluttered and chaotic. When your space is unorganized it is challenging to focus on your goals.
Be inspired by your surroundings. It is easier to achieve your dreams when you are in a positive environment.
Make your space reflect your goals. Get rid of your snacks if you are trying to lose weight. Create a writing space if you want to write a book.
You should feel good in your environment. It is a lot easier to achieve your goals when you are in an environment that aligns with the goals you are trying to achieve

Think positive. Thinking positively is an important part of achieving your dreams. You are much more likely to succeed when you have a belief in your ability and yourself. You need to surround yourself with positive messages and affirmations.

Boost your positive mindset with daily positive affirmations. These simple messages can make a big difference in your attitude.
Write down and review your goals often. You can stay more focused and motivated when you see your goals written down.
Create your vision board. These images, quotes and any other things that inspire you will constantly remind you of your goals and keep you on track.
Keep your self-talk positive. Put any negative thoughts into a positive light.
Deal with any past trauma. It is essential that any past trauma be dealt with in a healthy manner. You will be held back from success in achieving your dreams if you hold on to any anger, resentment or pain from the past.
Get professional help to deal with your emotions and release the past. It is easier to reach your goals when you release any past trauma.

Take care of yourself. To achieve your dreams, you must take care of your physical, mental and emotional health. You have to eat right, exercise and get enough sleep.

You also need to have some time for yourself to relax and remove any stress. You have the energy and the focus when you take care of yourself to achieve your goals.

Make your goals realistic. Your goals need to be achievable. You will be setting yourself up to be disappointed if you set your goals too high. Break larger goals into smaller, manageable pieces. Set a realistic timeline to achieve your goals and take the steps necessary to achieve them.

Create your action plan. You have to create a plan of action to achieve your goals once they are set. It may be a challenge to achieve your goals so you need to put the steps you need to take into your timeline. Move closer to your goals by taking action every day.

To achieve your dreams it is essential to create an environment that will support your dreams. Set realistic goals and make sure to take care of yourself. Continue to take action to move you towards your goals while in your positive space. Doing these things will get you closer to achieving your dreams.

Aspirations – What Are They?

2022-10-26 ~ adminlife

Do you have a goal you want to achieve in your future? If you have hopes and dreams, you have aspirations. You have a sense of purpose and direction for living with these big picture goals. But you need to know, having goals and having aspirations are not the same thing.

Aspirations are more long-term and geared to the future, while goals are actions you need to take to get you to your destination. Look at it as looking back on your career and knowing that you were able to meet your goals, that is an aspiration. When you get a new position in six months, that is a goal. They have different, separate functions but they do work together.

Aspirations Breakdown

You will have more meaning and focus in your life when you have aspirations. There are various types of aspirations you start to look for when you start to dream about your future. People’s aspirations give them a different outlook on their lives. Some, like being a good provider are simple while others aim to be a lot higher like becoming rich and famous.

We try for two types of aspirations – intrinsic and extrinsic. They have some common themes that are indicators of s sense of purpose in our lives. The breakdown here will help you to understand which of the two types that you tend to focus on.

Intrinsic : these aspirations will satisfy your well-being. These are usually centred around relationships, your contributing to your community, health and your personal growth. An example of a social aspiration would be to make friends and build your relationships and volunteer. There are also family aspirations and skill aspirations where you develop a new skill.

Extrinsic: These types of aspirations are for achieving an instrumental outcome in your life. An extrinsic aspiration would be that you are physically attractive, wealthy or being popular. A financial aspiration when you were growing up would be to have a million dollars. If you wanted to be popular when in high school, you had popularity aspirations.

Your career aspirations can be both intrinsic and extrinsic. There are certain things that you want to accomplish like having a certain salary and image. These have parts of personal growth and community contributions mixed together.
