subject: How To Set And Achieve A Goal Review [print this page] We all have our own rituals' that we repeatedly do without having to think about it. When you get up in the morning and brush your teeth, you don't concentrate on the movements that you make. When you tie your shoes, drive to work, open the door, you do it automatically.
We really make very little choices. We repeatedly do certain actions and after some time it becomes automatic. It becomes a habit and it becomes active in the right circumstances, without you having to think about it.
The easiest actions for us to take are the ones we perform out of habit.
Imagine what you could do and how your life would change if you would develop the "right" habits.
Having a sexy, toned body wouldn't mean forcing yourself to go to the gym three times a week.
Reaching your ideal weight wouldn't require starving yourself on diets.
Finding time to work on your goal, wouldn't mean stealing it from your family.
Achieving financial security wouldn't mean having to work 80 hours a week.
Becoming an overachiever wouldn't require you to have iron will or unstoppable determination.
All you have to do if you want to be successful, is develop rituals (behaviors that become automatic after some time) that will cause success. As simple as that!
If you want more of anything in your life, the place to start is with your comfort zone. By expanding your comfort zone you allow yourself to change, to grow, to develop.
Learning to step out of your comfort zone is essential for successful goal setting. Nothing significant was ever accomplished or created in comfort zone.
