The holiday season is over and it is time to get back to work. We have set goals and made resolutions for the year. Trying to achieve these goals and keeping to the resolutions can input a lot of stress on us. Not managing the stress of not yet achieving your goals can lead to exhaustion, under-productivity and frustration. These are the four steps in managing the stress of not yet achieving.
1. Dream big and set realistic goals
The first step is to set realistic goals but still dream big. Goals should be set with corresponding times for their completion. Goals help simplify complex tasks into little set of routines which relieves the pressure of not yet achieving and also make you feel relax and in control.
2. Be consistent and build momentum
Completing a goals out of your set of goals bring confidence. Being consistent and completing other goals brings about self assurance which increases your confidence in your ability therefore reducing the stress caused by not achieving.
3. Be patient and calm
Every great thing started small. Microsoft Incorporation started with two college boys, Facebook began in the room of some college boys. Patience and time is the key to long time success. We should always keep our calm and stick to the completion of our set goals. Focusing so much on the distance we are still to cover results in unnecessary stress which will have a negative impact on our performance.
4. Sharpen the saw
Talent without action will eventually lead to regret. The key to long time success is regularly reviewing and correcting our goals and steps until it becomes part of us. No child starts walking at his/her first attempt. Staying dedicated to the course is what creates lasting success.
