Anyone have any suggestions on how to keep the goals that I set? Sometimes I just really get frustrated with myself! There are a few things in particular that I am working on in my life right now. And time after time, I set these goals for myself. And they are even pretty realistic goals, nothing crazy! But it's like I just keep sabotaging myself!
There will be a particular thing that I shouldn't do. And I know that in order to stick with my goals I shouldn't do it. I sit there and tell myself that I shouldn't. And yet, for some reason, I do it anyways! I start to rationalize it all in my mind, or just tell myself that this once wont hurt and I'll get back on track tomorrow. But then a few days later I'm telling myself the same thing again!!! I just never get anywhere with it all.
Honestly, I've never really been one of those people that ever sets a particular goal. I have never cared for New Year's Resolutions or anything like that. So, I really don't have any experience in making and keeping goals. But I know that things will really improve in my life if I can just reach these goals, so I know that in the long run it will be worth it! Anyone have any help you can give me?

It is somewhat easier if you break it into small pieces. I want to keep my house cleaner, but with Claire and the two year old I watch during the day, I don't have the time or energy to clean the whole house in one day. But if I spend an hour just cleaning each day, I can get it done. It also helps me to set an alarm- I set the kitchen timer to one hour and clean until it goes off (or I finish) and that helps keep me on track because I know that there is only 59:40 left.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I think sometimes sharing that goal with someone else, makes me better at finishing the goal. i.e. I'm trying to lose weight (I know shocker) but it's a constant and forever battle for me. But I always lose more when I'm doing it one on one with someone else. My work did it but there were lots of people, so I figured no one would notice when I failed cuz there were tons of people. It's so hard. I'm bad at goals!
