Seven effective ways to stay consistent with your goals

Published by

Setting goals is important but staying consistent with your goals is most important. Staying consistent with your goals is one of the things most people find so difficult to do. Setting goals for themselves might be what they are good at, but staying consistent with those goals becomes a problem. 

Consistency is not hereditary or inherent. It is a habit that anybody can form and develop. Being consistent with your goals is the key to success. Setting personal goals does not make up for being productive and actualising your goals. You need to stick to those plans by staying consistent with them, no matter how impossible or difficult it might be to achieve them. In this article, you will learn effective ways to stay consistent with your goals.

1. Set achievable goals

The first thing you need to do is to set achievable goals. Before you think about how to stay consistent with your goals, make sure you set goals you love and can achieve. 

Impossible goals most of the time kill your motivation to continue with your goals. Try as much as possible to set achievable goals.

2. Overcoming the fear of failure

You need to realise that failure is not a bad thing. Rather, it is a great teacher in the world of success. 

Whenever you fail, you should make effort not to repeat the same thing that led to failure. The fear of failing to achieve your goals can make you give up on your goals. 

3. Find your motivation

Staying consistent with your plans requires discovering what fuels your desire to pursue those goals. You need to find your source of inspiration or motivation. 

Your motivation might be tied to your desire to make money, your friends, your ability to solve personal problems, and so on. Continue engaging in whatever activities will increase the passion you have to go after your goals in life. 

4. Track your progress

Most people stay consistent with their goals when they realise they are making progress. The only way to identify whether you are making progress is by tracking your progress. 

To keep track of your progress, document what you have done so far to see if you are making progress or not.

5. Accountability

If you don’t have anyone to account for, you will easily give up on your goals. Look for a friend or colleague at work to help you monitor yourself.

To be accountable to the person, you should consider giving him or her an account and consider reaching an agreement on what they should do if you don’t achieve these goals or give up on them. 

6. Develop self-discipline

Self-discipline gives you the courage to face the obstacles that might confront you as you try to achieve your set goals. If you are not self-disciplined, you will easily give up on your goals because many things will seek your attention. 

7. Create a simple schedule

You need to create a routine that will help you to be stable with your goals, to be focused and never give up on your goals. The essence of this schedule or routine is to make your goals easier for you to identify and achieve.
