A Note From Jim
If It Seems Too Difficult…
If there’s something that seems too difficult to get started with in your life right now, here are a few thoughts to help.
This is especially helpful if you’re struggling with those New Year’s Resolutions that don’t seem to be taking hold.
If you can’t get something done… or you’re having trouble getting started, it comes down to 3 factors:
- WHY do you want to produce a result / goal / outcome etc.?
- Do you have the CAPABILITY to take the actions?
- Do you have a TRIGGER that signals you to take the action NOW as opposed to waiting?
I’m a firm believer that we rarely want things we don’t have the capability to achieve. If your mind can conceive and believe, then you can achieve it – whatever it is.
So it really comes down to WHY and WHEN (a trigger).
Why is very personal… goals are personal… but the best goals are also EMOTIONAL – meaning they carry the force of FEELING behind them.
Ex: you’ll half kill yourself to make sure your babies have a warm place to sleep, enough food, and medical care. NOTHING would stop you from providing that because FAMILY is one of the most powerful WHYS known to humanity.
If you don’t have a powerful WHY behind your goal, do a little “thinking and linking” about what’s really important to you in life.
Finally, you need a trigger. A trigger is the starting line… the starting gun… the ready, set, GO of the goal achievement world.
So many people talk about setting a “Deadline” on their goals, but nobody (except me) talks about setting a “Startline” for your goal achievement actions. WHEN will you take the actions you need to take?
Set your startlines in your calendar AND link them up to something you’re already doing so they become a habit automatically.
Ex: if you want to write a blog post every day, write 50 words in an email to yourself every morning when you first open your email. Link turning on your email – something you do every day – to short blog posts – something you WANT to do every day.
So, decide on a TRIGGER you can use as the startline for a goal you’ve set, but not yet met.
Peace!
Jim
