TRACK YOUR PROGRESS & REACH YOUR GOALS
It is said that people who write down their goals and dreams are more likely to achieve them. Today I want to talk about the power of tracking your progress and how it can help you reach your goals ✨🙌
If you have goals and dreams, the best thing you can do towards achieving them is writing them down and start to tracking your own progress towards them.
Tracking helps you figure out where you are currently at, which is the first step to get in place, in order to find out how to get to where you want to.
Tracking helps you to keep focus on your bigger goal through your minor action steps.
Tracking also helps to keep you motivated, and to stay on track with your progress.
Let's take some examples:
If you have a goal that you want to run 5 kilometers, and you currently can't run 1, then don't see this as a downfall or failure. But see it as knowing where you're starting at, and then you know how long you have up until your bigger goal.
Now you should't just go out and try to run 5 km the next day. You should break down your goal into smaller steps - try to follow a beginner's running plan. These are very simply (speaking from experience as I'm currently following one), where you run 3 x week, but very very easy manageable steps.
Your goal might be to run 5 km, but it doesn't have to be tomorrow - think long-term, and think about the progress you can feel every time you go out for a run. It will be hard for sure, but you'll start seeing improvements.
Slow, but steady progress - and staying consistent over a longer period of time is the key to success!
Another example could be if you are suffering from something - that could be migraines, digestive problems, acne. Start to write down when your migraines/digestives problems/acne appears - the first step to improving anything is to become aware your current state, and finding out of when and why it happens.
Does your migraine come right after you've been sitting at work all day starring into the computer? Does your stomach pain come after you've had dairy products?
Start to track your symptoms, and pay attention to what else is going on in your life whenever you feel the symptoms coming back.
When you have done this over a longer period of time, you'll start to notice a pattern of when and why it happens, and then you can actively work on trying to do something about it.
Writing down your dreams and keeping track of your progress towards reaching those dreams can be a constant motivating factor - to keep having your dreams in focus ✨🙌
