It’s a New Year. A time to rejuvenate my spirit, but where can I find the Motivation to Continue?  Have you fallen out of sync with your previous goals? How can you “get back on the wagon” with determination, incentive, and excitement? Let’s face it, 2020 was pretty tough for most of us.  2021, though, can and WILL be the rebirth of that spirit.  

There’s an old saying, “If you fail to plan, you’re planning to fail.”

So, to find that motivation what we need to do is, sit down and start writing down what we’d like to accomplish this year.  Separate the areas in your life that matter most to you.  My areas are:

Spiritual

Health

Work

Hobby

What are your areas in life that matter most to you?  

Try writing down no more than three things for each category to keep it simple and easy to remember.  Once that is completed.  Write down under each goal what you need to do to accomplish your goals.  Example:

Health

1.  Goal weight is…….

a. lose 5 pounds per month

b. use the WW app to keep track of what I eat and to stay focused

c. focus on skin and joint foods

2.  Walk 10,000 steps 5 days a week

a. walk 500 steps around the house when I first get up

b. set my alarm on my phone to remind me to start walking schedule (one or two alarms as needed per day)

Just the act of writing out a plan, in itself, will be a great start and can help give you the Motivation to Continue!

What is another area that can help KEEP you motivated??

Motivational quotes (one or two of your favorites) either hand written out or in poster form in your home office, bathroom, kitchen, really wherever you hang out; can be just the gentle reminder you need to keep those goals in focus and active!

There are many other ways to help keep that motivation moving.  Next week I will be posting additional ways to keep that motivational spirit strong and unbreakable!  Until then, get a jump start on the two items just mentioned above!

It’s Not Whether You Get Knocked Down, It’s Whether You Get Up!
