How to Avoid a Goal Relapse in 2024

[Ennieglobal]

At the end of every year, people are quite motivated to write goals for the new year and be geared up to pursue it. Now, we are two months into the year and what has happened? A goal relapse....

Let me share a quick story with you
A friend of mine reached out to me that she wanted to sharpen her writing prowess in 2022. We resolved to reading five books on writing and getting some courses this year.

By January, she started one of the books and finished it. My God, I was wowed by the enthusiasm because it was going quite well.

At the middle of the year, things started going down and I guessed she had lost her momemtum slowly.

Then I remembered one of my pastor's favourite quote, "you are not tired, you are not just motivated".

What did we do?
1. We went back to the drawing board and reemphasized her strength and weaknesses.
2. We sat down to analyze what has kept her motivated all the while and realized she had stopped them.
3. She started and increased what she does for motivation by two.
4. We created an accountability structure.

Simple right?

Try these tips when you realize you're starting to relapse on achieving your goals.  I'm sure it'll help you.
