It’s human nature to examine your priorities at this time of year.
Lots of people set new goals, and if you’re one that doesn’t believe in committing to resolutions, that is a declaration in itself. It is common for people who set goals, and even those who don’t, to fear failure that they won’t be able to follow through.
What’s the difference between those reach their goals and those that don’t? Motivation. Motivation is the enthusiasm and force that drives a person to push past their real or perceived limits to accomplish something challenging.
Motivation lives in your heart. It is carried out in your thinking and actions but it is birthed in your heart by way of conviction.
If you find that your motivation is wavering, it’s time to settle down and find your conviction again. Why are you doing this? What will this give you? How much do you want this again? What costs are you willing to pay for this?
Reconnecting to your values and the importance of your goals will flood you with fresh energy and inspiration to continue changing your old patterns. When you get a new surge of motivation, be sure you put support measures in place to help you change your thinking and your actions to line up with the passion of your heart.
