Even though it is Sunday, I actually want to get things done. I feel some sort of pressure to get on with things. To be honest, I\u2019m pressuring myself. I\u2019m trying to reach goals but they seem to be out of my reach. Although I am not frustrated yet, I am unhappy about this situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am certainly unclear on some of my thoughts. Have you noticed that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s the deal: Since I am not clear on what things I want to get done, it is difficult to actually get them done. Because I haven\u2019t created a route map for reaching my long-term goals yet, my short-term goals are also not easy to name. That way they are out of my reach. The pressure that is building up inside of me isn\u2019t helpful at all. However, it is only a feeling. I created that feeling and now it is up to me to get rid of it again. Otherwise, it might block me completely from taking positive action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll take positive action!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, there are three important questions to answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having worked out long-term goals helps when creating the route map. The map is the necessary plan to reach a goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You could compare it to your itinerary for your summer holidays. Say you would like to travel from your home to Marseille in southern France. You know your goal is to relax at the beach, read some good books and enjoy the French red wine and atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There you are: your itinerary brings you closer to your goals. You decide if your steps are quick and efficient. You decide if they are a good help. After being clear on your decisions, take action. Don\u2019t just try to reach your goals. Stick to your plan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honestly answer the third question. Will not following your plan, but watching a movie now, bring you closer to your goals?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go ahead and take the action!<\/p>\n
