There is such an interesting thing as statistics, according to which, for example, 50% of people trying to quit Smoking, be sure that they will succeed, but only 12% were able to do it really. At the same time, according to the statistics, young people under the age of 30 years reach their targets in 40% of cases, unlike older generations, where the rate is significantly lower. If you’re under 30, it’s likely you have everything ahead and if you have more, don’t despair — it’s just statistics. In any case, don’t let her slow down.

1. Don’t talk too much before to do something

Ad your goals before you started to do something to achieve them, can bring more harm than good. This can give you an illusion of progress, forcing him to feel a false sense of satisfaction. This will cause you much easier to agree that you don’t need to change anything in your life, when you really need to get serious hard work.

2. Write down your goals

This was discussed more than once. Writing your goals on paper, and constantly having this list in yourself, you significantly increase your chances of success. So just do it.

3. Be as specific as possible

The degree of specificity of your goals can mean the difference between failure and success. So when you write your goals, don’t make them abstract. If you want to start reading, write as the purpose is not to “get read” and “read 100 pages a day”, for example. Don’t be afraid to be more specific. Refine the wording of the objectives to the state in which you will always know what to do. Do not allow alternative interpretations.

4. Focus on progress

Intermediate positive results, even small, greatly helps in building a complete picture of success. So do yourself a favor, focus on your progress and allow yourself to enjoy the journey towards goal achievement.

5. Do not overdo it with counterproductive measures

It is alarming the fact that a lot of people who are on a diet, for example, start over to reward yourself in advance by seeing the result. It actually leads to slowing progress. Focusing on the positive results, people sometimes forget why they are doing this, and strive to receive the award as soon as possible.

It will be very tempting to reward yourself with a piece of delicious high-calorie food when you have already made significant progress, but in any case do not overdo it. If you notice that getting the first awards marked the beginning of an unhealthy trend, try to find something else less counter-productive than you can reward yourself. For example, go to a good movie, Comedy show or sports match.

6. Offer yourself a monetary incentive

In one study, revealed significant improvements in weight loss people who were offered a cash incentive. There are many ways to do it. For example you can bet on the money with his close friends that reach a certain progress during a certain period of time. Such an incentive will significantly increase your motivation and your chances of success. No one wants to voluntarily lose their money. Most people are much kotche ready to fight for what you lose than what you can get.

Take life into your own hands and force yourself to enjoy it!
