Sally-Anne Blanshard, who has just established a new local business Nourish Coaching, gives an insight into making goals, sticking to them and rewarding your successes:
10 - Grab a pen and some paper and jot down all the areas in your life. This might include work, friends, family, finances, holidays etc
9 - Put a tick alongside the areas you are happy with and do not need any focus on - acknowledge what is going well for you right now
8 - Highlight the areas you would like some support or enhancement - what would you like this to look like?
7 - Create your new list - you might write - FINANCE - to save a deposit for a house so I can have a Christmas moving in party, or EXERCISE - to run along the Sea Cliff Bridge without stopping
6 - With your new goals work out what you need to do to get there - who will help you? What will you do if you have any setbacks? How can you keep motivated and on-track.
5 - Declare your goals to the world (ok - perhaps your friends and family) let them know what you want to achieve so you have accountability - they will ask how you are going!
4 - Create visual reminders. Put a picture of the house you want to buy, or the jeans you want to fit into onto the fridge, in the car or in your office - subtle reminders to keep your conscience on track
3 - Create a plan for the month, what do you need to do today, tomorrow, next week - allocate times to review your goals
2 - Reward yourself when things are going well, celebrate your successes, pat yourself on the back or indulge in that (small) Easter egg! Then get straight back to it.
1 - Commit to yourself. When you are committed to yourself, you will be in control of what you want to achieve.
