Ready, Set... Goal!!

'By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail' Benjamin Franklin

Let's start with your goals. Everyone has them. Whether they are monumental and take time and effort to reach - to small scale and easily achievable (tiny steps!) we all have something that we want to aspire to. It could be wanting to try out a new look which you have been musing over for a while, working on your positivity to make you feel better about yourself; to losing a few pounds before your summer hols and crossing your fingers that you can be beach-ready and confident in a matter of weeks! 

The key is to be realistic; plan your goal and strive to reach it; record your progress by using a journal, diary or app and most importantly, make sure that you commit to your aspirations... shout it out! Planning in advance, even if it's just a day; will make it less likely that you will lose focus. Surround yourself with positive people - your own little team who will spur you on, support you and be there when you need a pick-me-up on a down-day and a pat-on-the-back on an up-day. 

Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow' Plato

Set a target you'd like to reach and write it down. Don't make it time sensitive - visualise yourself achieving your goal. When charting your progress, record how you feel, choose descriptive words and write it down... be kind to yourself! Never say things to yourself that you would never say to anyone else; and most importantly do your best. Don't compare yourself to others, never strive for perfection (keep it real!) and and be the best that you can be! Good luck on your journey!
