Here are a couple of tips for you.
1. Have a goals bible. Write everything down and record all your joys and pitfalls. Having a physical copy of everything we want to achieve makes them psychologically more ‘real’ for us, like we are making ourselves accountable for what we want and how we get there.
2. Use whatever tools you have available. Financial goals should use a budget, weight goals, use meal plans, exercise buddies, blogs, forums, friends etc. Again, these work to keep us accountable and integral. They work to guide us and keep us on track!
3. Understand and appreciate that bad days happen and plan for them. Everyone will go through moments of un-inspiration, and the key to making sure you get yourself back on track is to remind yourself why you are on this journey in the first place, which is where our bible comes into play. Go through and read your first entries, have a look at how far you have actually come. Have a look at how much you have saved, or lost, and use that as inspiration.
