Create a vision board

Studies have shown that seeing is believing. Visually seeing your goals everyday, makes you more likely to fulfill them. Plus vision boards are fun to make.  

List your goals and create a check list

If you’re not fond of the idea of making a vision board then creating a list of your goals is another way to make sure you fulfill them. Writing them down also makes you more likely of fulfilling your goals

Give your goals due dates

This is very important, now not all of your goals have to be short term, they can also be long term. Along with that, you can also give your long term goals, small due dates along the way to make sure you make your long term deadline. For example, a goal finishing the Harry Potter series, your long term deadline could be finishing the series in two years, you could then give yourself small deadlines either by page numbers,chapters, or each individual book, to then make sure you fulfill your overall goal.

Share your resolutions with others that your close with

Telling others your goals can help you because once other people know, they can help keep you on track of your goals and encourage you when you feel like you wont be able to finish them.

Positive thinking

This one is definitely the key to success of fulfilling your goals, believing in yourself is the most important. Everyday won’t be perfect and you’ll need to lift yourself up on the bad days and believe that you can still do it, even though the odds seem stacked against you.  Remember, the only one that will fulfill your goals is you.
