How To Keep Focus on Your New Year Goals
Here we are Jan 21st a good 3 weeks have past since you made those new year resolutions! So how are you holding up so far with your goals you put in place? Are you living up to your own expectations? Don't feel embarrassed or bad if you been slipping up a bit this happens a lot when you live in a busy world. McDonald's is just so convenient. The ice cream is so good. The girl was mean to me so now i am jerk. I had a long day at work so i skipped exercising today! It happens to the best of us.. Situations happen and can change our outlook. Fortunately it is not too late to get back on the right path.
Start writing your goals down BIG so you can see them everyday! I just purchased a huge 36 inch by 24 inch dry erase board that is magnetic. Every time i go to sleep or wake up i see it! I write down my to do list and my goals that i want to strive towards the new year. I cant run from my goals i must take them head on. Next to my big to do list i have a huge calendar i bought at staples for 5 bucks i track the days and write down which days to do what.
Some of the examples of goals i have put in place
1) Study word-press (Need to improve)
2) Relaunch 2 new domains (need to improve)
3) Workout every single day (goal kept)
4) Stop buying sugar and use local honey instead (goal kept)
5) Stop eating fast food more fruits and vegetables (goal kept)
6) Be more understanding and nice to those around me (need improvement.)
7) Increase my relationship with the almighty (improved)
8) Write more articles (need improvement)
I have more goals though i think this shows that you need multiple goals and work towards them everyday. I also let me significant other write down goals she has for me and vice versa.
Think big! Write big! Shoot for the stars and if you fall short you will land on the moon. You are the one who decides your destiny not anyone else. Every hand you are dealt you can turn into a winning hand or at the very least a learning experience you can build off from in the future.
You have the power to accomplish anything you want if you set your mind to it. Be the unstoppable force you know you can be. Create the momentum to propel you through the year.
The only difference between winning and losing is the losers gave up! Winners never quit and losers never win. Don't quit! Don't Give up! You are a fighter! You Are a winner! You are the last person standing! You are the 1st one to the gym and the last person to leave. When people say no you cant do it you show them you can.
Winning is a mind state. Even sports is 80 % mental and 20 % physical. Some of the greatest players of all time didn't have the best physical gifts but over came those obstacles with dedication and preparation.
What you think really matters and is powerful don't let negative thoughts rule your day. The moment that happens snap out of it and think about something wonderful like a happy baby. If You think great things those dreams you have will become real.

Thanks Andrew. It's so important to be specific with our goals as well so that we can quickly see where we have matched up and where we need to improve. Having goals for all areas of life is vital as well so that we keep a balance. Great article.

Thanks everyone! Apsense is defiantly alive and well ! I did ask many of you to come read and comment this shows another way we can help each other with our articles.Now i would not do this if the article was full of links and sales pitches. I told many of you because i believe this to be uplifting and a game changer. For many years in our house we have had a small dry erase board on the refrigerator. I did notice everything that was put on that board was carried out in the house. With our craz

Well Said Andrew! I am not very good at staying with my goals at the beginning of the year. I would start and then not follow through the year. Sometime I get busy and other times I get lazy. But I may have to try the BIG Erase board Idea so I can push myself to stay on track.

HI Andrew thank you for inviting me to read your article. I like your positive outlook and the whiteboard idea? Do you belong to Click Track Profit? Did you get the whiteboard idea from Jon Olson? You know I should buy one too. That is a really cheap deal and there is a staples not far from my home. Thanks for your positive thoughts. Remember we are not perfect and if you go off your diet or workout you can always start right back up. Don't give up. Barb :)

We Forget God who has created us, Created this Universe and given us Life ! We have to keep reminding ourself to remember HIM. Same applies to goal setting and achievement. Andrew has done well and deserves all the laudits for keeping us on the edge to redeem our resolutions for our own good and welfare. He is the Light house of Mentoring . The Mantra is ... Remember,Remind,Review,Resurge... that is the Cycle All the thanks Andrew I get Inspired keep it up

True words of wisdom Andrew " Winners never quit and losers never win. Don't quit! Don't Give up! ", The thing is we have all heard these words before, but fail to remember them when needed the most.
Think big, create your own success story in your mind, replay it consistantly as if it were daily life and soon enough those success will happen as you condition yourself and your mind to them.
Love the Big Goal board idea as well Andrew, right in your face each day.
2012 and onwards will be mas

Situations happen and can change our outlook. Fortunately it is not too late to get back on the right path.
There are things to do for every person and this is the simplest thing to start from.

This article is nice, Andrew. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. The article is apt at this time when we have set out goals for the year and are due for compliance review. Setting goals is one thing, getting them fulfilled is another very hard part. Andrew calls us to go back to our plans, written or otherwise, and see how far we are keeping them. I am already looking at what I planned to do this year and considering if I have started taking the steps to accomplish them at the end of the yea
