How to Obtain Self-Discipline to Achieve Your Goals?

The Problem…

• You’re antsy, unhappy and you’re not sure why.

You want something, but you can’t quite put a finger on it.

You tell yourself that you were put on this earth to do something besides what you are doing now.

You don’t know what you want or what you are going to do with your life.

The people around you see you as the not-so-fun mother/wife/father/husband/friend. Maybe it’s the mid-life crisis!

If there is no plan for achieving goals, goals become empty gaps in your life that never get filled.

Self Help and Motivation

What do you want to do with your life? You must have some sort of hobby or passion. How do you fix your life?

Ask yourself. “Are you happy?”

An interesting thought…If you asked your children/wife/husband if they thought you were happy, what would they say?

If you have been working on this thing called happiness for awhile and people are not seeing you as a happy, what is missing?

You ask yourself, “How did I become unhappy?”

The First Sign You Want Change

You stop focusing on the problem of unhappiness and move towards a Solution. The solution becomes the new focus in your life.

Some of us leave our spouses and try to see change. Some of us feel sorry for ourselves and move into a depression and almost see depression as a solution.These people look at the things they have in there life as lacking and live in a constant perpetual cycle always looking in the past. They see themselves as trapped and not being able to change in a happier way, they even lose the concept of what change is in their life. The only concept of change they have is fear of change.

Sometimes a challenge motivates people. When they are at their heaviest in weight or their saddest moments, it triggers wanting to challenge themselves to change. It can take the absolute worst moment to move into a cycle of good change! Most people need a solution to why they feel the way they feel, they sometimes need somebody (Psychiatrist) to tell them they are unhappy and in turn this helps them figure out how to change.

A Plan is the Solution

Before you can change your life you have to have a plan. If you don’t have a plan than there is no direction, just frustration.

Make Your Plan Viable!

The only way to do this is to make it a plan you truly believe in! The plan becomes something you can work on easily. The exciting part is you become part of the plan and develop an easy passion for it, because it’s yours.

So if you want to be thin, want to write a book and get it published, submit art to an art gallery or go in a marathon. You have to have a plan on how you are going to do it. The plan puts value on the goal, the passion… Hence the dream.

Within your plan you may have to dare yourself to go through the Plan (steps) of change. Even though you have custom made the plan for YOU…There are some parts of your plan that may be just plain scary. Like submitting art to a gallery or sending your book to the publishers. That is why each plan has to be individual, because some people really have a hard time with motivation, self discipline and procrastination.

Going to an art gallery and submitting a painting might be scary, so why not tweak the plan and get to know people in that area of expertise first. That would be something you would write down and put in your plan before you go and submit the painting. It will establish a better confidence for you. It is much more believable to YOU and Motivation, self discipline and procrastination will be a thing of the past!

The Active Pursuit

This is when your life changes.

Try this…

Change your thinking! If you are worried about going in a marathon, but would really like to, how about you say, “I will train for a half marathon.” This goal is more believable then saying, “I am going in a marathon.” You can almost see it in levels. Our brain accepts steps, it is rare for an individual to be successful at their goals if there isn’t a plan from the beginning. The wonderful ending to this beautiful dream is looking back at it all. You remember all the steps that you learned, and the plan becomes a part of you. You are now living the good life!

The Confidence is Beginning to Build…

Life is more realistic now that you see the steps. The confidence builds which is your foundation to build on, because confidence takes away the FEAR blocks (self -doubt blocks)and replaces them with strong blocks. All of a sudden You are Happy!

So…In the beginning…the plan brings action, watch it all unfold.

• Define you goal

Devise a plan that will suit your schedule with your family and friends.

Work on the plan for 6 weeks or when you feel really confident about how things are going.

Tweak or adjust any plans.

The Red Flag

Do not get caught up in more than three goals, it can backfire on you and YOU will lose your focus. Maybe instead pick three goals and pick one out the 3 you want to do first!
