Change can be overwhelming and difficult. Concentrate on what you will gain with change - not what you will lose. Below are seven ways you can make a change this year to accomplish your goals and become more effective in your personal and professional life.
- Set your goal. Be specific.
- Examine why you want to make a the change. It will help you identify a course of action.
- Write down what you will gain when you reach your goal.
- Look at yourself objectively to become more self-aware. Your own defenses may be blocking you.
- Ask a close trusted friend for feedback. It is mandatory to get out of your own head. Being in our heads traps us into seeing few options.
- Don’t make assumptions. List the facts of where you, what you want to change and how you will get there. Just the facts. Not what you “assume”.
- Visualize yourself with the new change implemented. To stay on course of getting there, think about how you will feel when you reach your goal.
