Maximizing Your Potential: Goal Achievement Tips for the Second Half of the Year

Six months of 2024 have elapsed and many of us have still not embarked on the journey to achieve our goals. It is overwhelming to realize that there is no significant progress made in the first half of the year. Another way to view the similar stance is acknowledging the truth of your circumstance and reflecting on how you chose to take your steps in the second half of the year.

Here are few ways you can achieve your goals in the next 6 months of 2024

1)Pick atmost 1/2 goals that you would hyperfocus on

2) Create a list of 3 specific actions - Superspecific, action based goals that you want to achieve . Make your plans as simplified as possible.

3)Create a list of smallest possible action you want to take in a day and check it off once you are done with it. Our thoughts become our reality, so if you constantly belittle yourself and engage in negative inner dialogue, you attract more situations, people and opportunities that reinforce that belief. But if you reprogram your mind and actively remind yourself of your goodness and your power, it will manifest opportunities of abundance. A compelling method of doing this affirmations

Some of my favorites are

1)My name is spoken amongst the most successful people in the world

2)I am safe and secure in who I am and nobody’s opinion, worth, energy, achievement or progress can diminish who I am

3)I am always at the right place, at the right time and on the right path.

4)I am strong, confident, beautiful and I trust in my abilities

4) You are not going to give up- If your way of feeling worthy is other people’s appreciation and praise of how endearingly you have performed and stridden in your strife, your sense of self is hanging by a thread that could lead onto the befoulment of your self-perception within a matter of seconds. Stop seeking validation from others and start trusting your abilities. Learn to decide for yourself and it's okay even if it doesn't work. Because in the end you are responsible for your circumstances and there is no scope for self-blame or victimization. Dedicate yourself completely towards the goals you are aiming to achieve, even in the face of setbacks. If there is a day that you couldnot perform your best, pivot your plan of action and change the course , not the destination :)

5)Set a routine - Rather than hyper fixating on the outcome, fall in love with the journey. Build habits that you incorporate in your daily routine and stick with them consistently.

6) Hold yourself accountable- Be true to yourself, if there are days where you are not performing your best or are unable to maintain the routine up to the mark, be honest with yourself. It is important to have constant reflection of how you are progressing towards the goals you set for yourself. While it is therapeutic to vent your emotions in the presence of your loved ones, you have to realise in the end you are reinforcing the negative beliefs that you hold about yourself. Try to process and handle your negative spirals, that is how you build accountability and trust in yourself to handle situations. I am not saying that sharing your pain with your loved ones is wrong, but if you always rely on something external to fix you, the ability of self-belief will never foster its essence in your spirit.

Let's strive in tireless endeavors that celebrate our stride,

Embracing the quest of accomplishing our dreams, one goal at a time.
