Made a list of cases for the new year? Now find out why you do not follow!

For many, the approach of the holiday season - is an occasion to take stock of the year, as well as outline the main goals for the next. We take a new road notepad (this is important!), A nice pen, reflect and... Again, we deduce about the same words that wrote a year ago: "lose weight", "change jobs", "work out", "quit smoking" and so on list. Why it happens?

1. This is not your goal

The true value of a person is measured in those things to which it aspires.

Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor

If you are from one year to put in front of the same goal, but just can not get the ball rolling, it is possible, you do not really need. The goal may be imposed by the environment, or advertising. It will be difficult to go to a tropical island, if you most enjoy fishing in a nearby pond, or make increase on the work that you hate.

So before drawing up the list, make sure that this is what you wish with all my heart. The goal is to match your interests and affections.

2. The purpose of improperly placed

Most likely, in your list eternal goals have items like 'to become healthier, "" make more money "or even" become more energetic. " All these dreams are doomed to failure because it does not comply with a few simple conditions:

• target must be specific;
• have a clear condition for achieving and measuring progress;
• It can be decomposed into several simple tasks.

In your list should not be abstract "to become healthier," and specifically "to run for the year 1 200 kilometers." This goal then find its expression in the monthly and weekly plans.

3. You do not have a plan to achieve objectives

No matter which does not seem impossible if you break it into small pieces.

Henry Ford, American industrialist, inventor

You can set itself ambitious targets arbitrarily, but they will remain unfulfilled without a specific plan. Each goal should be the basis for a plan of small and specific activities with a clear reference to the dates and circumstances. This plan may be faulty, but it must be.

4. You do not watch the progress

Do not dispose of the plan drawn up immediately after the holidays. Let it be always at hand. Better yet, set a reminder in your calendar and come back to it every month. Create a system of accounting and control of achieved results, whether dumped kgs, Overcome kilometers, the money earned or written page. Reward yourself for progress.

5. You do not are adjusting plans

Only perfect people from the film are never wrong. You can set a goal can not afford, or to schedule the wrong way to achieve it. Life can make a sharp turn, you just could not have foreseen. Do not be afraid to admit it and make adjustments.

For example, you want to lose weight and developed a thorough plan for this cross-country training. But if you are already in the process it became clear that jogging - it's not yours, or too heavy, or contraindicated for your body, then working out your own different way. But in no case do not give up on the goal!

6. You yourself do not believe

Belief in themselves and their capabilities is one of the main secrets to success. Put two people in front of the same goal, and he who believes, will find the way to achieve it, but whoever does not believe will be looking for excuses and excuses.

Look again at the list of their future achievements. Do you really believe that you can do it? Well, then good luck!
