For one reason or another the excitement we have at the time of setting the goal dies down and we give up on our or goal. I want to help you achieve your goals, and because I have been on the losing and winning side of goal setting I think I can help you&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>My first piece of advice is <strong>don&#8217;t set impossible goals<\/strong>: Right off the bat we&#8217;re treading into the murky waters of goal setting. You should never set your sites low, but if you set a goal that will take super human effort to accomplish you&#8217;re setting your self up for failure. If you need to lose 100 pounds setting a goal of losing all of it in 4 weeks would not be a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>One way to know if your goal is achievable is to see if others have been able to do it. If you can find other people who&#8217;s circumstances are similar to yours who&#8217;ve done what you want to do then there&#8217;s no reason you can&#8217;t do the same.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stay excited about your goal<\/strong>: The novelty of a new goal can wear off quickly so it&#8217;s important to stay motivated about your goal. The technique I personally use is something I call <em>total immersion<\/em>. I surround myself with things that support my goal. For example, if starting my own business was my goal I would&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Read books, and magazines about business and books that profile successful business people<\/li>\n<li>Listen to audio books about business in my car instead of music<\/li>\n<li>Watch movies and documentaries about business people<\/li>\n<li>Find a local entrepreneur group so I could network with local business people and pick their brain about what it takes to start a successful business.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Break down your goal into small action steps<\/strong>: I&#8217;ve found that having too big of a goal can seem like an insurmountable task. What you&#8217;ll usually find is that you&#8217;ll chip away at this massive goal every day and it will feel like you&#8217;re not accomplishing anything.<\/p>\n<p>The opposite happens when you break your goal down in to smaller action steps. Being able to check off a bunch of little items off your to-do list keeps the momentum going, and keeps you excited about what you&#8217;re trying to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>So my little formula for achieving goals reads like this: Set smart goals that are achievable &#8211; Stay excited, and immerse myself into whatever it is I want to accomplish &#8211; Break the big goal down into tiny micro-goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As far as goals go some people love them, some people don&#8217;t like them one bit, and others don&#8217;t have [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-89","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-secret"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p599WV-1r","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1518,"url":"https:\/\/mastercleansesecrets.com\/blog\/inspiration\/goal-setting-for-weight-loss\/1518\/","url_meta":{"origin":89,"position":0},"title":"Goal Setting For Weight Loss","author":"Raylen","date":"July 21, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"Setting measurable and reachable goals for yourself can give a clear focus to your weight loss efforts.
