32. Step to boost your mindset for success: Integrate your conscious achievement of goals into your everyday life
The conscious examination of your goals should be integrated into your everyday life as an integral part, just like eating and drinking. Consciously take time every day to deal with the achievement of your goals. Visualize daily how you have already reached your goal and direct your attention consciously to your goal. This helps you to maintain your motivation permanently and inspires you to come ever closer to your goal from the positive feelings that the goal triggers in you. Here, too, you will benefit most from your dispute if you conduct it in writing. This allows you to see clearly where you are on your way to achieving your goals and to make corrections and adjustments without any problems. Just as important is conscious action, i.e. daily "doing" in dealing with your goals. Make sure that your goal achievement becomes the daily object of your day and that you make progress every day. There is always something to do or improve and if it is only the conscious visualization and imagination of your goals.
33. Step to boost your mindset for success: Meeting obstacles and adversities calmly on the way
Obstacles and problems are to be expected on every route. Don't let that discourage you. Consider the obstacles as opportunities to grow and become stronger. The realization of a goal naturally also requires a change in one's own orientation. Obstacles and problems on the way to achieving a goal are only clear calls to grow and develop at this point. A change can only happen if the basis develops and changes accordingly. That's why you meet obstacles and adversities in a relaxed and relaxed way and overcome them instead of avoiding them. Focus on developing and growing on challenges and increase your self-esteem and self-esteem by courageously facing new tasks and obstacles. Do not ask yourself "if" you can make it, but "how" and you will find a solution. Welcome joyfully all problems that get in your way and make it your task to continue learning and to continuously find new solutions, in deep confidence in your abilities and solution competences. If you like to look back at situations in your past that you have already successfully mastered, for example when you learned to walk, then the shyness to tackle problems is quickly put into perspective again, because you know that you have already overcome and mastered much more difficult things in your life and have even grown and acquired new skills. So get rid of your fear and face your challenges, you can only win! Don't let yourself be distracted by obstacles and adversities on your way, there is always a solution if you are willing to find it.
34. Step to boost your mindset for success: Combine your goals with recurring everyday activities
If you remind yourself of your goals several times a day, it will be easier for you to stay motivated and on the home stretch. To do this, you can simply combine a day-to-day activity with your objectives. Choose something that you use several times a day. For example, you can stick a note or picture of your destination on your bathroom mirror or, for example, a password that you use frequently with your destination. Do you drink much coffee? Then make your coffee cup the medium of your destination and stick a picture or the word of your destination on your cup, and every time you enjoy your coffee, you automatically think of your destination. You could also use your pack of cigarettes or other items that you use several times a day to focus on your goal. The more often you deal with your goal, the faster you will achieve it. Take advantage of the opportunities that your everyday life offers you and let your goals be taken into account wherever possible. There are no limits to your imagination, it is only important that you do not lose sight of your goals and are reminded of them as often as possible. In this way, the necessary can be meaningfully combined with the useful and you use all possibilities to continuously come closer to your goal. Use the energy of your desire, which can unfold anew each time you recall your goal.
35. Step to boost your mindset for success: To-do lists
In order to be successful, a lot has to be mastered and done, and yet there should be enough room not to lose the important motivation on the way to the goal. That is why it is essential to structure yourself thoroughly and to plan your everyday life well. To-do lists have proven to be very effective in this respect. Write a list for each day, adapted to your resources, and note everything you want to create on that day. However, you should always take into account sufficient breaks and also times during which you can consciously deal with your goal and do not overtax yourself! Consistent and permanent "less" is "more" than too much, because too much can quickly lead to a breakdown that can bring your motivation and self-confidence to the cellar. That's why you take care of yourself and adapt your requirements to yourself and to your realistic resources. To-do lists have the positive effect of being able to celebrate small successes every day, because you can simply cross out or tick off what has been done and at the end of the day you can see how much you have actually achieved. However, if at the end of the day you find that you haven't done a lot of things on your list, you should honestly question that and adjust your to-do list accordingly in the future. Perhaps you have taken on too much or you have avoided certain tasks. However, as long as you have successfully completed at least 80% of the activities you have planned, you can look forward to and be proud of yourself. At the end of the day, with your ticked off to-do list, you have something visible in your hand by which you can clearly and easily measure your success and this is incredibly important to continuously build your self-confidence and faith in yourself, but also your belief in achieving your goals.
36. Step to boost your mindset for success: Maintaining motivation on the way to the big goal
Who doesn't know it! The e-mail box is overflowing, the next unprocessed letters are waiting in the mailbox and the dishes are waiting, but the motivation is in the cellar and you would simply prefer to lie down on the sofa and talk to friends or do something else pleasant. A good way to pull yourself together is to be aware of what it is good for, for example, if you process your emails or do the washing up promptly. To illustrate this quite consciously, it can be helpful to make a note of the reasons behind each task on your daily to-do list, with a view to achieving the actual big goal. This could look like this, for example: - Papers for the Office erledigen→ Reasons: Achieve financial freedom - Email abarbeiten→ Reasons: Clarity and structure to be independent, etc. So if you put your daily work in a meaningful relation to your main goal, you get your incentive and suddenly realize how much easier your activities are going to be. We all want to do something meaningful. By giving meaning to your rather unattractive but necessary everyday activities, your inner resistance disappears and you can pick yourself up again in the service of your goal. Be aware that you are on the best path to autonomy in achieving your goals, because if you achieve your goals, you have actively shaped your life the way you want it to be.
37. Step to boost your mindset for success: Finding a balance between empathy and expectation
Expect a lot from yourself and exceed your own limits, but don't overtax yourself and don't be too strict with yourself. If a day doesn't go as well or if you don't always manage everything as you have planned, then show compassion for yourself. We are all human beings, not machines, and should be loving and empathic towards ourselves. If your body signals to you that it is tired and needs a break, then give it the well-earned rest period. After that you can get back to work fresh and energized and you will be efficient and concentrated again. Try to strike a balance between the ambition to achieve your goal in a disciplined manner and an appropriate compassion for yourself. It doesn't help you to demotivate yourself and to torment yourself with self-reproaches, because it doesn't work that way, it only weakens you unnecessarily. Treat yourself just as you would treat a loved one close to you if they were frustrated and depressed. Expect a lot from yourself, challenge yourself, but don't overtax yourself.
