Happy New Year, everyone! I wanted my first blog post of 2019 to be a positive and motivated one, so I want to share some tips that I've learned throughout the years on how to stay motivated. I hope this post can be a constant reminder throughout the year that you can achieve your goals. When you are feeling a little stuck you can always reflect back to this post.
So, here we go. I think one helpful tool is to write your goals on paper. That way you can see them and it's a constant reminder. Some common goals are working out, living a healthier lifestyle, maybe achieve a higher position at work, or to start your own business. Any goal you set to accomplish for 2019, those are your major goals. One of the biggest mistakes I've noticed are people wanting to conquer those major goals right away. Once they start to notice that not much has changed or improved, they get off that path that they set at the beginning of the year or just lose faith. It's easy to go back to that same old routine. You should never give up! That's why setting minor goals every month or day can help you achieve that bigger goal. Remember: every day is a new day and a new start. Don't think the only time to start fresh is the new year.
Ways that you can set those minor goals. For instance, if you want to workout and stay healthy, set a goal that is realistic to you. In the month of January, workout once a week and drink water or a glass every day. In February, start to work out twice a week and plan your meals throughout the week. So on and so on. By the end of the year, those minor goals you set every day or every month can help you to achieve the major goal that you wanted to hit for 2019.
I'll share some of the goals that I set for myself. Overall, I want to stay positive and be more positive. I tend to dwell on the positives and the negatives. I tend to get into my head a lotttt so I have to take all of those negatives out. Also, believe in myself and surround myself with positive people that bring me up and continue to support me.
Another goal is to work on my anxiety. I have suffered from anxiety my whole life. It's not fun. I have had a fair share of panic attacks. This is something that I have to work on every day and not sure how or if I can overcome it. It's hard to talk about maybe I can do a separate blog post about this in the future.
Living healthy and working out is another goal for 2019. Overall, I am a pretty healthy person. I work out and eat healthily but I would like to keep that consistent this year. You guys already voted on Instagram that you want to see more of this so I will share more food and workouts on isntastory.
Lastly, growing this amazing community. One of my biggest goals is to grow my blog and Instagram into a community. I want to get to know all of my readers and followers. This is something that I love doing and passionate about.
