5 Important Tips for Achieving Your

Goals in Life

1. Set Small

Milestones On The Way To Your Ultimate Goal

Improvement happens in small steps. You're going to be much more likely to achieve success (and have more fun on the way) if you set yourself up to feel good as you make your way to your goal. For example, if your goal is to run a half-marathon, set out first to run a 5K, and be sure to celebrate yourself when you do.

2. Get Started

Sometimes, people set a goal but then fail to achieve it because they keep putting off, you know, getting started on the road toward it. If there's something you want to accomplish, set a date and time when you're going to start pursuing it (why not today?). Then make sure you stick to it.

3. Keep Track Of Your Progress

Every time you do something that's going to help you reach your goal, record it — whether it's writing it down in your planner or keeping an achievement journal. Being able to track your progress and look back on how much work you've done will give you an extra edge toward perseverance.

4. Engage In Some Healthy Peer Pressure

Find a friend or family member who also has a goal, and agree to encourage and hold each other accountable when it comes to working toward it. It doesn't even have to be the same goal, but all the better if it's something you can do together!

5. Keep Room In Your Life For The Most Important Things

While it's important to hold yourself accountable and keep working to achieve your new goals, it's also just as important to do other things that matter to you and that you enjoy, or that make you feel good — whether that's volunteering, hanging out with your family, knitting, reading or just getting a good night's sleep.
