How To Beat The Slump Of New Routines

Adjust Goals As You Go

Often, when we first set goals, there’s an expectation that may not follow when we begin working on those objectives. Along with tracking your progress, talking about your projects with one or more supportive individuals, and allowing yourself the flexibility you need to attain your goal, it’s helpful to adjust goals as you go. This involves assessing needs at each moment, using creative thinking to move through challenges, and understanding limitations of resources, energy, and time.

You may also discover that, while busy attaining a goal with smaller goals and stepping stones, the original mountain you sought to climb isn’t the right one. Don’t fret or throw in the towel. It’s okay for goals to change as you do. Allow both yourself and your objectives in life flexibility to grow. Integrate the lessons you’ve learned, even if your ultimate goal shifts focus. Maybe you realize an end goal wasn't realistic, but a shifted focus makes it so. Don't be ashamed of adjusting so it fits!
