Welcome to Day 2 of my 'Glow In 2015' series! Today I am going to be talking about effective ways to stick to your goals. We know that writing down our goals is the easy part but sometimes life gets in the way of us actually accomplishing our goals. It is SO important that when we are planning anything - we are also doing something to hold ourselves accountable! I am going to be sharing a few tips on ways to help you stay on track, motivated and inspired to push yourself every single day!
Tip 1: Identity check: I know you're probably thinking 'WHAT!?' but yes, the key here is to change things up from your normal routine and in order to build lasting habits you must first step back and look at your behavior now. What do you see when you look in the mirror? If you have any self doubt I want you to erase every bit of it right now! Start telling yourself wonderful things. Tell yourself about the person you want to be and the trick is, be genuine. Be real. Tell yourself who you are now and then follow by telling yourself who you want to be, the type of person you want to be.
Tip 2: Change your current beliefs: It's pretty simple actually. This goes along with step 1. Only you can decide what type of person we want to be and only you can prove to yourself with everyday little steps in the right direction. Everything you thought you couldn't do, you better start believing you can - because YOU CAN. Realize that you won't change over night but if you take it slowly and start creating those healthy habits and you start changing up the way you see yourself and possibilities, you will without a doubt flourish!
Tip 3: Be consistent: Whatever your goals may be, you must always be CONSISTENT!
If you aren't working towards your goals then you're taking one step back. I'm not saying that you have to spend your entire day consumed in work but what I am saying is just doing one small thing a day that is working toward a goal is all you need. So for example: Say someones goal is to create a beautiful painting. Well, in order to do so you have to have the materials, you have to have an idea of what your painting will look like and you have to decide on how much time a day you need to work on your painting to have it completed by the date you set. Makes sense right? CONSISTENCY IS A MUST!

Tip 4: Surround yourself with success: The company we keep can have a huge impact on how we feel and how we spend our time. If you want to accomplish something, surround yourself with
people who are working toward same or similar goals.
Use their achievements as your motivation, and let the positive vibes
sink in. But be careful not to start comparing yourself to others lives and success. Remember that everyone is on a different journey and timing is different for everyone!
Tip 5: Relax: Yes, it sounds counter intuitive but I say this because it's probably the most important step. Above all you must know when you need to take a step back and re-evaluate what you are doing and why you started. Don't get yourself all worked up and stressed out because something you did, didn't quite go as planned. Remember that things happen and that's life. Take a deep breath and realize that if a day didn't go as you hoped, there is always tomorrow.
I hope that you all find these tips helpful and I hope you start to apply them to your every day life!
Light + Love,
Courtney ♥
