| If you really want to change, ask yourself what is your goals? List them down, find out what motivates you... commitmment and determination.... if you really want to change, its going to be lifelong habits.... you might not get what you want in 12 months, but during the time, you might learn and gain something you never expect... browse through the forum, time-management, visions, sacrifices, discipline.... persistence, at times you might feel frustrated or might feel like giving up... A balanced life, dont push yourself too hard, reward yourself XD, know that you are making progresses, look back 3 months or 6 months that have gone by... how much you move forward. stay with the right community, here I also think, its best to start off with your health... physically and mentally in good condition.... sorry for my bad english |

| Make sure the change is something you truly want. If it is someone else's vision for your life, success is unlikely. Pin down exactly what you want by writing it down - be specific! Next, work on changing your daily habits. More than anything else, it is our daily habits that prevent us from achieving our goals. Evaluate negative patterns and implement positive, productive ones. If you are stuck, work through your mental and emotional blocks. Take action every day and remind yourself often about what you are working toward. |

| Spend at least 1 hour every day, working on the goal you want to achieve.

| Thanks for the suggestions. I actually have five very specific goals that I want to accomplish over the next 12 months. The challenge is that I get up every morning with the intention to do what it takes to achieve these outcomes, but I seem to mentally/emotionally deflate rather quickly. I just can't seem to pull my thoughts together or truly get excited about my dreams... |

I ask this because from what I've seen, people who passionately want something with every fiber of their being and make it their goal to have it don't have problems staying excited about it. But then again, another possibility is that you're demanding too much of yourself in achieving these goals, and each step seems too big. If your goal is to be King of the Pirates, "Step 1: Arr! Build a ship!" is going to seem like an insurmountably huge task. Where the hell do you start? It's enough to make you want to go back to bed. So try to break each step down into smaller steps ("Step 1: google pirate ship plans. Step 2: find source for ship timbers. Step 3: locate suitable shipyard, preferably near water. Step 4: Find hammer..."). Write a list of the things you need to do, and if there's a way to break one thing down into two or three smaller tasks, do it. Then try doing one small task a day to start, and cross it off the list when it's done. If you do two or three, great. The point is to do something every single day that will get you to your goal, no matter how insignificant it may seem. And the more things little things you do, and the more progress you make, the easier it is to motivate yourself to do the big things. |
