“This one step – choosing a goal and sticking to it – changes everything.” I am excited to begin 2023 and with that I am going to share the ideas of motivation, commitment and goals. I begin with the importance of having motivation as you start to want to achieve or accomplish something. That first part is very important but then I also mention that we need to make sure to have the commitment with the motivation to help carry us to the end. The last part of the episode I share about the importance of goals and the help they give our brain to focus on something. It is really the essence of the principle of being proactive. We are deciding how to direct our life. I hope that as you begin this new year, maybe understanding a little bit of these 3 things can help you go out and make a plan to achieve your goals.
Show Notes: Hi Friends! I hope you enjoyed listening to this episode. Below are all the references.
Things I learned this week: This week I learned that we need motivation and commitment to help us accomplish the goals that we have in our life. At the start of the new year this is when we want or get more inspired to begin again. So this week I really loved learning that motivation and commitment leap frog one another. We need them both, we need motivation to start us going and then usually commitment to help us to the finish. I also learned really how important goals are to our lives and especially to help our brain focus. Our brains love to solve problems to as we focus on a goals them it helps our brain focus on figuring out how to do that rather than focusing on problems outside of us, like our kids, our home or family.
