15、for many, its the right time of year to hit “reset” and (re)commit to all the things you want to happen in 2015: exercise, lose weight, and finally learn Chinese, etc. Our lists have been made, but the outcomes tend to let us down.We may start off strong, but we can get steered off course before we
16、realize it. You would have gone to the gym, but the delivery is coming in the morning so you have to wait for it. You did great last week keeping off the desserts, so what the heck its a birthday party, you deserve to have just one! You were totally up for going to that networking event, but your hu
17、sband is away and the kids need you. Your mind becomes masterful at creating those convincing “reason” why you couldnt do something.Of course, there are many times when we fight through the various circumstances that present themselves to achieve something that matters to us, but then there are othe
18、r times when we buy into the excuses and stories we tell ourselves to defend why not to do something.Ive worked with many successful people over the years, and they frequently share similar habits and routines that make up the kind of mindset that is good at achieving goals and persevering through a
19、ny circumstances. Ive often taken note of them, and here are the top five most easy-to-do actions that can be applied to any goal or commitment you have. I find these especially helpful as we begin a fresh new year of goals.1GET EARLY WINSYou cannot underestimate how much this fuels your commitment.
20、 Define what “early wins” look like and make sure that theyre in your control. For example, if you said, “exercise four times weekly”， thats in your hands, so make sure you meet or exceed this number consistently. It fuels you to continue.2TRACK POSITIVE PROGRESSIts important to know what youve acco
21、mplished. Mostly we focus on what ISNT happening. This is bringing down your energy level and mood. Keep a notebook or journal (digitally or paper) of what is getting done so you can visibly see progress. If you have several goals, keep different journals.3COMMIT TO OTHERSThe more you share your goa
22、ls with others, the more you become responsible for taking action. Take it a step further and enlist someone you will “report” to and share your progress. Make sure this person push you and not let you off the hook.4MAKE MISTAKES AND MOVE ONYou wont be perfect. When youre not, declare, embrace and o
23、wn it, then move on fast. Recommit and get right back in the game. Also, disable your rearview mirrors (后视镜). What happened before doesnt have to influence what happens next.5DEFINE YOUR OWN SUCCESSThere is no “right” way to get to your goal. Its yours and youre the author. Clearly map out the route
24、 to the top with milestones and what success looks like. The more clear you are on not only the “what” but the “how”， the easier it will be to take action.The goals you create are hugely important, but in fact the most exciting part is the self-discovery in the process of getting there. Make this ye
