Clearly identify your “why” to motivate you to meet your goals

Instructions

  1. Write down one ultimate goal you’ve set for yourself.

  2. Answer the following questions to gain clarity on “why” you want to achieve that goal.
     - What will I get by completing this goal?
    Money? Fitness? Experience? A sense of happiness and fulfillment in life?
     - How will my life change or benefit from meeting this goal?
    A better home? A nicer car? A promotion? A new career? More peace?
     -How will my family benefit?
    Imagine smiles on their faces as you give them a better life and make them proud.
     - What impact will I have on others?
    Perhaps you will be a role model, mentor others, or donate to charity.
     - What positive emotions will I feel when I complete this goal?
    Happiness? Pride? Self-esteem? Empowered? 
     - Are the sacrifices I have to make worth the end result?

  3. Review your answers.
    These will serve as your motivators to achieve your goals.

  4. Create distinct and memorable prompts to remind you of these motivators.
    Be creative; use all five senses – vivid images, sounds, textures, scents, and tastes.

  5. Display these prompts so you will be exposed to them often during the day.
    Out of sight is out of mind.

  6. Change and switch them periodically to avoid growing used to them.
    If they become too familiar, you may not notice them.
