TeenHelp - Quick Tips: Staying committed to your goals

Staying committed to your goals

By Jen (Ethereal.)

Make sure your goals are attainable and give yourself a reasonable amount of time to accomplish them. Don’t get carried away with ideas and dreams, stay realistic!
Having a to-do list and a planner handy will really help at keeping yourself organized when it comes to your goals, as well as anything else you have to get done.
Talk to people and let them know that you are trying to commit to doing (or dropping) something over an extended period of time. With more support, it is easier to commit.
Remind yourself of why you are doing this. Why are you making this change? How will it benefit your life? Will it improve relationships or your health? Perhaps type it out.
