Goals, goals, goals...

If you are like most people, you want to make the most out of each and every day. You want to wake up with the intent to accomplish something or work towards something. If not, I highly encourage you adopt this mindset. With that being said I will provide a simple way of doing so. For starters think of a long-term goal that you would like to achieve. Whether it be traveling to another country, or competing in an event that you are interested in but currently are not prepared for. Now that you have a rough idea of that long-term goal, start to break it down in realistic steps that you can chip away at day by day. Now that you have a goal in mind and an idea of what it takes daily to reach said goal, you are almost done! Now, think right now of a goal you can accomplish throughout the day after reading this. Something simple such as drinking a set amount of water to taking the stairs more than you usually would. This may seem a bit silly but the reality is while you are working toward your long term goal day by day, you need something that you can say you accomplished at the end of each day so that you truly do feel a sense of accomplishment while at the same time piecing together your ultimate accomplishment which is your long term goal. Doing these two things in unison each day gives you a defined purpose despite what you may be going through each day whether it is a good day or a bad one. Accomplish something everyday, because we only have a finite amount of days to do so.
