Crushing Your Goals in 2021 - LLP Article - Jan 2021
by Stacy Reuille-Dupont
Humans really get things done when there is “necessity”. Necessity is about accountability. To make sure you are successful, build in necessity and find a way to be accountable. Some of us are good being accountable to ourselves. Others need to be accountable to someone else. A coach, friend, or family member can be helpful here. Just make sure if you are picking family and friends that they will really hold you accountable. I like to hire a coach because they can be more objective and really hold me to my goals. My family and friends, albeit well-meaning, often aren’t as strong when holding me accountable.
You’ll also want to vision your goal. The human brain is wired to “see” where we are headed. When you create a vision for your goal you are more likely to complete it. Many people like to use pictures or create a drawing to represent goals. This can be done with pen and paper or digital. Many cut apart magazine photos, snapshots they’ve taken, use apps like Pinterest or an online photo album to curate visual expressions of the goals they want to accomplish. From a somatic psychology perspective, visioning works because your body and brain go through physiological processes when you think about the action you want to do. This is why elite athletes spend time meditating on athletic goals. They “see” themselves accomplish the shot, win the race, sink the ball long before they ever get on the competition field to hack the bodymind system for success. You can do that too by focusing on your goal vision boards often.
As we start 2021, make sure you are set up for a successful year. Crush your goals by creating SMART goals, planning for your obstacles, building necessity, and creating a vision to remind you to “see” your completed goal in one form or another.
By taking these steps you’ll be ahead of most people who say they want things to change. You’ll actually be taking the action steps that start changes. With your plan you’ll be ready to break the goal statement into actionable daily steps. Long-term change rarely happens all at once, it is most successful in small steps done consistently over time.
Here’s to a happy new year and crushing your goals in 2021! Happy New Year.
If you are wondering where to start when it comes to setting goals, knowing yourself well enough to ask for the right kind of help, and learning how to outline strategy to be successful - then consider applying for the next LLP class. Applications are due May 2021 and the next Leadership La Plata class starts in September 2021.
