Discouragement keeps many people from achieving great goals
As a human being with goals, one of the most significant obstacles you’ll discover on your road to success is discouragement, which may come from internal or external sources. Beware of impostor syndrome — when your confidence level does not match your competence. Sometimes, discouragement may come from giving your best but not getting the desired results.
Adopt a strategy for overcoming discouragement using these suggestions to energize your mind and crush depressing thoughts:
- What you watch
- What you read
- What you listen to
- Who you surround yourself with
- How you talk to yourself
- What you visualize
Evaluation is a great way to keep track of progress. When you evaluate your work, you can see your progress even if you’ve not yet reached your destination. It’s also great to break down your goals into smaller ones. This way, the evaluation will be more straightforward because your aims will be more transparent. Your tasks will also feel less overwhelming and more achievable. A well-structured plan is essential to your journey to becoming great.
⚡️Your actions, not your location, determine the results you get.
In evaluating yourself:
- Be careful not to make any room for comparison.
- Let the evaluation be between you and your goals.
- Record every progress and appreciate yourself.
- Track all regressions and address them as growth areas.
- Draft your worth statement and your growth mindset.
A worth statement describes who you are, irrespective of what happens to you. A growth mindset is a learning mentality that allows you to see your experiences as learning curves instead of descriptions of your worth.
Here is a sample of what they should look like:
Worth statement: My value is who I am. It is fixed.
Growth mindset: All the experiences that happen to me are learning opportunities.
By evaluating yourself, you challenge yourself to do more, increasing your chances of success.
