Where to Get Started with Goals

Now that we have stepped into 2022 everything you will hear and see will be about goals. Although we know how important goal setting is, you may be stuck on where to start. It can become overwhelming to have that fresh starting point. So for today’s discussion we are going to focus on a daily reset.

Daily Resets

Remember that most of our goals is not in the setting of the goals but in finishing them. If you are struggling with a goal you may get discouraged by feeling like you failed before you could begin. For instance, if you have a goal of weight management the second you eat a food you are trying to stray away from; your mind is ready to give up. The way you find success is resetting your mindset. One “bad” food item or “bad” day doesn’t define the goal’s end. The only person who can define a goal is you. Reset you mind to begin again. You need to understand that most of your goals will have moments of failed attempts. The failure isn’t in the attempt it’s in not resetting and journeying on.

Where to Start? Woes of Goal Setting

If you are struggling with multiple goals at the same time, work each goal with one intention at a time. An example of this is having a financial goal as well as getting up early. If you wake up late, do you just end all of your intentions for the day? No. Reset yourself to the believe that you can find ways of cutting out extra distractions that will allow you to go to bed early and completing the goal the next day. In the meantime continue with focusing on you other goals. There is something that we can do in each category of several goals at the same time. Take a deep breath and write down what you plan to accomplish for the day.

Grace Through Goals

Its imperative that we extend grace while you work hard. Do not allow yourself to be overtaken by your goals. As big as they you have enough grace to get them done. Do not let anyone use your past against you. This is why while you complete your goals to have the right people around you. You are already in your head enough and you don’t need confirmation from a Negative Nancy in your circle. Clean your circle. Get an accountability partner or someone who can hold you to what you wan to do. You need someone who can challenge you and know when to extend grace when you need it. Life is already hard enough than having someone tearing you down.

You Got This

Let’s remember that you got this. If there is one thing that helps with completing goals is to share how you are accomplishing it. This is a great way amongst like minded women to encourage. So if there are goals that you are working on and you have ways that have helped you sound off below. For instance when it comes to meal prepping I will set my planned meals including my snacks to make it easier to make the goal happen. This helped me to be able to be prepared for my day and accountable.

Accountability with Goal Setting

Being able to be accountable to yourself is sometimes hard. But remember the goals that you are making for yourself are promises to treat you better. So how can you treat you better? Be mindful in what you eat, entertain, or entangle yourself with. Think on that before you make a decision that may or may not have your best interest in mind. Be considerate of what you say to yourself. If you had a best friend in your personal situation would you handle them in the same manner? If the answer is no, than do NOT allow you to handle you any type of way. Be gentle with you. Handle yourself with care. Speak lovingly to you. Even in the midst of a goal you can do the right thing.

It only been a little over a week into the New Year. Stay conscious and uphold what you are doing by setting yourself for success. Do an overhaul of your environment. When I was growing up living in a shelter it wasn’t the most ideal situation. My mother taught me some valuable lessons that I will share. She never allowed us to live like we were in a shelter. We took care of ourselves and our things with pride. We also was never allowed to have a shelter mindset. No woe is me mentality. We were supposed to show up and show off until our situation improved. Same goes for you. Let’s take this week by force.
