Five simple tips to help you realize your dreams

Every dream starts with a purpose. Whether you want to learn a new language, be more confident, lose weight, or something else entirely, it’s easier to stay committed to your dreams when you know the reasons behind them. The clearer your purpose is, the less likely you are to give it up even when things get difficult.

Once you are clear with your why, these five simple tips can help you achieve your dreams.

Set specific goals

Define your goals as specific as possible. “I want to be healthier by eating one vegetable dish every day." is better than simply saying, “I want to eat healthy starting this year.” Being as specific as possible will give you clearer directions on how you can accomplish your goals.

Make it measurable

When your goals are measurable, you give yourself a way to track your progress. For example, “I will save P1,500 every month so I will reach my savings target of P18,000 by the end of 2021”. With this, you can easily adjust your plans to reach your desired goal.

Always be affirmative

Encourage yourself the way you would support a good friend. If learning a new instrument is on your to-do list this year, don’t let your inner critic threaten your confidence. Remind yourself that you are doing the best you can with what you know at that moment.

Remember your reasons for starting

Don’t get discouraged when you make a mistake or you’re not making as much progress as want. It’s normal to experience setbacks. When you find yourself wanting to give up, think about the reasons for starting the goal in the first place. This will help get your fire back and put you back on track.

Talk to people who have the same goals

Surround yourself with people who know what you are going through. They can give you the encouragement, support, and inspiration that you need to achieve your goals.
