3. make your goal statement infront of you. mainly where you can seeit everyday like in bathroom or dresing table.
4.Listen to motivational audios
5. Associate Potential pain (what if you do not achive your goal) for example you are smoke then think all the things will happen to you if you do not quit and all the suffering you are already facing .. make it more emotional and writeit and take it with you in pocket or if possible record it mp3 and take it with your mobile and listen whenever you have time.
6. Associate all the pleasure. -- similar to above point
7. Make it temporaory (do make 30 days commitement and not life time.)
8. Associate with right people who are succedded on what you are going to achieve (this is really tough for me and i dont know how to do it - I am still learning on it .. I think i have to improve my communication skill for the same.)
You can use above mention tools.. |
A great strategy PerDev and I quite agree the pain and pleasure approaches are good tools to use towards achieving success. However, I feel wherever possible the pleasure option is the preferred choice.
I like your idea of using different media, such as an mp3 player, to remind yourself about your goal. Add associating with successful people to become successful yourself. You could add building yourself a Mastermind team to this idea.
Also you may like to use the GROW model for setting goals; this has proved very successful in life coaching circles. There are also other acromyns to use that will help with your goal setting process, such as SMART.
Good luck and keep up the great start.
