How to Train Your Brain to Achieve Your Goals

How to Train Your Brain to Achieve Your Goals?

Having great ambition and setting goals for yourself is an inherent part of humans. However, it isn’t something you should take lightly. So, whether you want to take part in a marathon, drop a dress size, or start a business, it is essential to understand that everything in life is achievable. All that it takes is having the right mindset.

So, how to train your brain to achieve your goals? This blog contains all the information you need to know about it.

1. Choose Highly Inspiring Goals

Set personal goals – goals that will inspire you to attain new heights. Very few things are as inhibiting as following the crowd or mimicking the ambitions of peers. However, you’re unique, so you should pursue something special in which you are genuinely interested. Doing so will give you a sense of purpose that will spur you to start acting rather than spend your time thinking.

2. Be Proactive

Your life goals are the things you dream about – things you hope will happen in the future but never today. If you are serious about achieving your goals, you must change this approach. You see, it is time you stop wishing you had that job, stop spending hours scrolling through social media, stop that fake or expensive lifestyle, and stop the social life. Go out there, be proactive and work yourself to success.

3. Kill Every Form of Negativity

According to Earl Nightingale, an American writer, “our attitude towards life determines life’s attitude towards us.” This is true in its entirety. 

You will receive negativity in return if you project negativity to the world. For example, tell yourself you can’t do something, and it happens that you won’t be able to do it. It sounds cliché, but having a ‘can do attitude,’ even when it is being faked, can help you achieve your goals. When you start doubting, swat the doubt away and be a glass-half-full person. 

4. Be Balanced

Goal setting can quickly get one obsessed. You are hooked on your goal and will do everything to reach your destination. The problem is that there is always the risk of burnout. Therefore, it is essential that you set realistic objectives from the beginning. A strong drive is good, but don’t forget that you’re human, and your body needs to rest and recuperate like everyone else.

Create a schedule and set aside time daily or weekly to work on your goal. For example, to partake in a marathon, you must first draw a training plan that will tick off the appropriate amount of training without the risk of being exhausted.

5. Break Down Those Goals

Very few things are as complex as setting goals and achieving them. There are usually no accessible routes or shortcuts. But that what’s makes it a rewarding experience.

If you feel overwhelmed along the line, break down the goals into milestones. Then, outline the specific things you want to achieve, when you want to achieve them, and how you will sort out your dreams.

6. Embrace Failure

Goal setting isn’t a smooth adventure. You’ll hit so many stumbling blocks that you question your sanity – why you had to start this adventure in the first place. But that’s part of it. And you’ll be better off the sooner you accept it. 

Rather than allowing failure to weigh you down, acknowledge the things that have happened and learn from them. Consider the things that worked well and those that didn’t and move on. You’ll ultimately become a strong goal-setter.

7. Tell People About Your Goals

Talking about your goals is the first rule of goal setting. Tell those who care to listen about your plans and how you intend to accomplish them. 

You’ll be putting yourself under pressure, motivating you to live true to your words. Also, telling people about your goals will create networking opportunities. Do you have any long-term business goals you’re nurturing? As you speak to more people about it, you increase your chances of meeting individuals you can link up with and exceed your targets.

8. Get Some Help

No one is an island. You don’t have to struggle alone. In many cases, there’s only so far you can accomplish before you need a fresh perspective.

9. Keep Track of Your Progress

Nothing gives greater incentive than seeing how much progress you’ve made already. Take pictures or even vlogs of your experience throughout your goal-setting journey. Keep track of bad and good weeks, highs, and lows. It’ll help you to tackle your weakness and overcome them.

10. Visualize the Result

Not focusing on the result may cause you to veer off course. One of the keys to staying motivated is to visualize the change you want to achieve. Make a clear image of this change in your mind – who you desire to be in X weeks’ time. Then, you’ll bounce back more robustly when the odd setback occurs.

And when you achieve your goal, give yourself a special treat!
