Setting goals is pretty simple, but achieving those goals takes a lot of work. There’s nothing wrong with the amount of work needed when working towards a goal. But affirmation and goal journaling could help make things easier. 

Affirmation and goal journaling can help you reach your weight loss, healthy living, and wellness goals with one simple trick. Setting goals for ourselves is important.

We can give ourselves something to work towards, something to look forward to daily. Of course, it helps if the goals we set for ourselves are healthy ones. Maybe you have a goal to lose weight so you can fill your time with eating healthy, working out, and living a healthy lifestyle.

Maybe you have a goal to advance at work which would fill your time with educating yourself and perfecting your efforts at work. Goals help us fill our time with healthy activities, which is always good.

Unfortunately, the problem isn’t setting goals; we can do that in our sleep. The issue is sticking with the efforts it takes to reach those goals. We hear it all the time; turning goal efforts into habits makes the difference; we are creatures of habit.

The question is, how do we turn those goals and those efforts into habits? There isn’t a single, right answer. But one simple way to turn those efforts into habits is to write them down.

We can use goal journaling to help keep our goals in mind on a daily basis, but it also turns those thoughts into habits. We can come home from work, relax for an hour, and write in our goal journals.

Another way to turn those efforts into habits is to use affirmations. Affirmations help build our self-confidence and make reaching our goals easier. Combining the two and writing down affirmations and daily goals (or to-do lists) can create a more productive and fulfilling day.

Putting pen to paper makes the idea in your head become a motivating reality, creating movement in your day to think about what you wrote down.

Affirmation and Goal Journaling

The act of writing down whatever you choose is simply to create a habit. Once you create a simple habit, it will prove to yourself that you can be consistent with one simple goal each day that will soon turn into more.

The more healthy habits you have, the healthier your life will become. This is the start of something easy, quick, and affordable that can help you reach your goals, no matter what they may be.

The question is, when do you get started? Starting a new habit can be stressful, and timing does play a big role for some. That is why you will want to start your new habits at the start of a season.

Seasons give us a sense of deadline which will help keep us on track for our goals. 

Starting Goal Journaling

We know that the start of the season can make a big difference in our new habits. But one season is better than the rest, summer! Summer is the season of fun, relaxation, and a healthy mindset.

We can use that healthy mindset as the platform to build our healthy habits. Make this summer your most productive summer by writing down goals, things to do, and things you are grateful for.

By consistently doing this, you will see a dramatic change in your daily life; this simple idea has changed mine. We all just need a good starting point to help us on our way.
