How to Make Progress Every Day, Even if it is in Your Mind From top3goals.com The key to achieving your goals is making consistent progress toward your objectives. All too often, however, your best plans for working on your goals get derailed by daily distractions, shifts in your available time, and commitments that take longer than they should. Rather than letting these things set you back permanently, how can you make progress everyday, even if it is just in your mind? Engaging the Power of Your Mind The first thing to remember is that your mental progress on goals is often underestimated. You may be tracking your progress in hours, but you should also think about the quality of the time you spend on your goals. Your mental engagement with any given goal is the ultimate factor in whether or not that goal is ultimately achieved. Thus, even if you can't put in physical hours on your goal progression plan, you can still move the ball with your mental focus. In this way, you can be mentally prepared at all times. This way, when you do find the time to physically work on your goal, your mind will be ready to go without needing to be warmed up into focusing on this particular objective. Continuous Visualization of Achievement Mental focus consists of more than the "I think I can, I think I can" that passes for positive thinking in more quarters. Vague thoughts and fuzzy images aren't going to get the job done. Do you really, truly, honestly see yourself achieving this objective in full detail? To make progress on goals every day you need to be able to visualize your success in perfect detail. You need to focus the power of your mind on creating your success systematically in your head. With the path clearly mapped out in your mind, it will be easy to follow your own trail efficiently as soon as the moment arises. Sound like a fluffy way to avoid work? It's not. It's a way to keep warmed up and focused on achievement even if you can't be in the physical space. It's also a way to maximize time you might otherwise be wasting. Stuck on a plane for a business trip? Run through your presentation in your head. Where do you pause? How do you stand? What gestures do you see yourself making during your talk? Does it look exactly like you want it to in your mind? Fixing it mentally will make your physical practice go more swiftly. Maybe you can't sleep after a stressful day because of a big project weighing on your mind. Obviously, you can't run to the office in the middle of the night, but you can run over the major roadblocks. How do you see yourself working around them? Where do you see yourself asking for help, and how do you make your pitch? Knowing the answers will not only help you sleep more soundly, but also get you off to a running start in the morning. Concluding Thoughts Your mind is the ultimate controller of your actions and your goal progression. By harnessing the power of your own mental focus, you can ensure that you make progress every day on your objective. Visualizing your success and working through your roadblocks in your mind will help you execute efficiently and effectively on the ground. Thus, if your mind is wandering and you don't feel like you are making progress on your goals, focus, visualize, and keep yourself mentally ready to achieve. ~ ~ ~
