Now that you have established your goals and created an action plan to go with them, you must make sure that you have the time in your schedule to follow through. However, you also don’t want to over do it to the point where you give up. In today’s episode, host May Yeo Silvers discusses how to audit your progress over the year so that you can sustain your goals.
Whenever we make new goals, we are asking ourselves to develop new habits that are outside of our norm. And because we are not used to living this way, it can be easy to give up and not achieve them. Rather than shocking ourselves with unrealistic expectations, it is first important to understand our internal programming. Once we recognize our patterns, we can then evaluate our routines and find the time to work towards our goals. But the true key to success is holding ourselves accountable. If you check in with your progress every week or month, you will be able to routinely evaluate whether or not you are on track.
Asking ourselves to do the work is easy when it is fresh and new, but as time goes on, it gets harder and harder. But when you take the time to make small actionable steps towards your goals, and you remain consistent on auditing your progress, you are way more likely to achieve anything you set your mind to.
