Most people want to feel successful in some way. However, many of us feel overwhelmed when looking at the steps involved in reaching our goals. We get discouraged before we even start. Donโt let that be you. Take these tips and achieve your success with less effort! Note: This is the 2nd post in my โDoing Less to Achieveโ More series. You can read the first post here: Do Less & Live a Better Life
The secret to actually achieving your goals is to work smarter, not harder. I know, I know. Thatโs not really a secret, but it really is true. Of course, the first step is to actually get started. So, letโs do that right now!!
These six tips will ensure that you achieve your goals with less effort:
Break it into Bite Sized Bits
When working toward a big goal, it can be helpful to break it down into smaller, more manageable pieces. By taking small steps, youโll be able to see your progress and feel motivated to keep going.
Set Realistic Deadlines
Giving yourself a timeline for completing your goal will help you stay on track and avoid getting sidetracked. Make sure the deadline is realistic, however, or you may feel discouraged if you donโt meet it.
Keep it Simple
Donโt try and pile everything into your plan at once. Instead, focus on one thing at a time and keep things simple and easy. Know what it takes to accomplish your goal and donโt clutter it up with extra steps. Not making it complicated goes a long way to success with less effort.
Create a Support System
Donโt be afraid to reach out. Itโs always helpful to have people you can rely on for support and encouragement. Whether itโs family, friends, or even an online community, having people in your corner will make achieving your goal less daunting.
Visualize Your Goal
When you can visualize your goal in your mind, it becomes much easier to work toward it. Spend some a few minutes imagining yourself achieving your goal. Then, take that thought further to examine how youโll feel once you succeed. Think about the path you want to take, what you believe the outcomes will be and how youโll react to the situation. Visualizing like this will help keep you focused and motivated and help you adjust your plan as needed.
Belief in Yourself is Key for Success with Less Effort
One thing to remember when working toward any goal is that you can do it. Letโs say that again. You can do it! Believe in your ability to achieve it, no matter how big or small your goal may be. Any time you feel doubt creeping in, remind yourself of all the times youโve achieved something you once thought was impossible. Not only that but remember that failure is often not as bad as it seems and is required to get to where you want to be in life.
Keep these tips in mind, and youโll be well on your way to achieving your goals with less effort than you thought.
- Take things one step at a time.
- Do your due diligence to determine how to do something most efficiently.
- Set deadlines and simplify the process as much as possible.
- Finally, donโt forget to believe in yourself during the process too. You can do it as long as you stay focused and committed.
You may be wondering why me, a soapmaker is writing about this topic. I believe strongly that taking care of your skin is a holistic endeavor. If you arenโt in a good place emotionally and physically your skin is going to suffer. For great looking skin you need to take care of all of you!
