Well, friend, you\u2019re not alone. The reality is that 47% of American adults break their commitment within the first month, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/less-than-half-of-us-adults-plan-on-setting-2022-new-years-resolutions-301442748.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2021 survey<\/a> on New Year\u2019s resolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For reasons including demotivation, no solid plan or support, and setting too many or overly ambitious goals, it\u2019s no wonder that only 10% of Americans stick to their resolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So how do you set your goals and crush them?

Find your &#8220;why&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Easier said than done for some people. But as palliative carer Bronnie Ware highlights in her book, <em>The Top Five Regrets of the Dying<\/em>, one of the top life lessons from dying clients is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI wish I\u2019d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth is, everyone has a &#8220;why&#8221;\u2014the reason, purpose, or belief that drives and guides us toward fulfillment in all aspects of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>Without knowing what that true north is, it\u2019s really even hard to know what we\u2019re fighting for,<\/em>\u201d explains Payal. She also emphasizes how imperative it is to reflect inward, figure out what you really want to do, lay it down as your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/goal-statement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">goal statement<\/a>, and then have a plan in place to be able to go after your dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And you can take this as a sign to <strong>discover what yours is<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a reason why the saying \u201c<em>it\u2019s never too late to start<\/em>\u201d exists. And if you\u2019re a bit lost on where to start, a little <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tBZcrYDo4CQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">creative visualization<\/a> is always a good practice to do. Or try diving in with these three <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/goal-setting-redefined\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">most important questions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-set-boundaries\">2. Set boundaries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An integral part of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/self-love-routine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">self-care<\/a> is setting healthy boundaries. Without them, you may feel depleted, taken for granted, taken advantage of, or all of the above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There will be times when people might not be as supportive as you hope them to be. And there are hundreds of reasons why they choose not to be\u2014maybe it\u2019s due to jealousy, not understanding your passion, or even respecting your &#8220;why.&#8221; This can lead to resentment, hurt, anger, burnout, and guilt on your end.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>Sometimes, what we need to do when we\u2019re figuring out what our own life and what our own expectations are is cut off these negative thoughts,<\/em>\u201d says Payal. That includes people in our lives and the internal chatter that isn\u2019t serving us or championing our &#8220;why.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So go ahead\u2014set goals and crush them. But remember to also <a href=\"https:\/\/podcast.mindvalley.com\/how-to-set-boundaries-without-feeling-guilty-nancy-levin\/\">set your boundaries<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-share-your-goals-with-your-tribe\">3. Share your goals with your tribe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Setting boundaries and sharing your goals might be a juxtaposition. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2921311\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">research<\/a> shows having a support system is beneficial for maintaining your physical and mental health. Some of the benefits include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A sense of belonging<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lower levels of stress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved overall health and wellbeing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emotional support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved self-esteem<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though your goals are unique to you, it does take a village. A tribe can help support, empower, champion, challenge, and send you love showers when you need them the most.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Surround yourself with people who help guide you, not instruct you. This is where an accountability group or a community (like the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC_Zk4qtXvJQk9seqem0f3gg\/featured\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Mindvalley Tribe<\/a>) can come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-make-money-work-for-you-instead-of-working-for-it\">4. Make money work for you, instead of working for it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you ever skimped out on taking a cab to work, but not felt the pinch when dropping $5,000 on a trip to Europe? It\u2019s because the trip meant more to you than a $5 ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Payal explains it&#8217;s about the conversations you have with yourself about money. What do you want to spend your money on? And what is money worth to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people struggle with their <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/money-wounds-that-keep-you-from-abundance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">money wounds<\/a> and often feel trapped with their financial obligations. \u201c<em>Sometimes we follow beliefs that don\u2019t serve our happiness, but that feel as if they reflect an accepted and inescapable way of life,<\/em>\u201d says Vishen, founder of Mindvalley and trainer of the <em>Be Extraordinary<\/em> Quest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, when you truly understand your relationship with money, you\u2019ll understand how to put <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/financial-goals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">financial goals<\/a> in place. And then, you can pursue the things that really matter to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-manage-your-time\">5. Manage your time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>I should work out more\u2026<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>I should eat healthier\u2026<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>I should start a new hobby\u2026<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are all great plans to have, but oftentimes, they\u2019re met with the same excuse: \u201c<em>I don\u2019t have time.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Time is one thing we have a limited amount of. So when you start making the time to set goals and crush them, that\u2019s when you\u2019re living your dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So while you contemplate what money means to you, remember to include how you want to constructively spend your time while you still have it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not about the &#8220;shoulds&#8221; or the obligations set on you by society\u2019s &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/vishen-lakhiani-brules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brules<\/a>.&#8221; It\u2019s about getting crystal clear on what your &#8220;musts&#8221; are in life. Because your time is your own, prioritize what you must be doing instead of what you should be doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-set-your-goals-and-crush-them\">Set your goals and crush them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Life is full of passion, purpose, magic, and miracles, as author and thought leader Roy T. Bennett beautifully puts it. And by setting goals, you\u2019re one step closer to living them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>Dare to live your precious days on Earth to their fullest, true to yourself, with an open heart and thoughtful mind, and with the courage to change what doesn\u2019t work and accept the consequences,<\/em>\u201d says Vishen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So friend, take that bold step toward your dream. You may just find yourself living a life grander, more beautiful, and more fulfilled than you could ever imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">&#8212;<br><em>Images: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/payal\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@payal<\/a> \/ Instagram<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you set goals and crush them?
