5 things to do When you feel like quitting!

I talked about this on my live yesterday on Facebook. And then uploaded it to YouTube.

Cry! And get the emotions out! It will help you get re-focused.  Take some time and remember what you are fighting for. And sometimes when you are building a better future, you will get frustrated and want to quit.

Get your focus back by any means needed.

Follow the 5 principles for success! I learned about this from the book “Finding Zero” by my awesome friend from Australia, Chris Lianos.

Know your outcome!

Know how you will achieve it! If you don’t know how to set goals, please connect with me. One of my best friends is an expert in this field. And we will help. But here’s a short way to set goals and it’s actually an acronym. SMART!

S is for specific. You need to know EXACTLY what you want. Write this out.

M is for measurable. Have a specific time frame which this will take place

A is for achievable. Make sure this is something you can do. You can do what you want. But if you aren’t willing to do the work: it’s not achievable. You can become a black belt, but not if you aren’t willing to go through training. This applies to anything.

R is for relevant!  Is it worthwhile? Is this the right time to do it? Does it match your other efforts/needs? Am I the right person to reach this goal? Is it applicable right now?

T is for time. Set a specific time that this will become realized. Answer the question of when. What can you start with today?

Realize it must be self-initiated and self-maintained. If this is something that you aren’t willing to initiate and maintain: this isn’t achievable! This doesn’t mean you won’t need help. But it does mean that your coach won’t have time to hold your hand. You need to maintain it. Your coach will help. But he/she isn’t going to do it for you.  

Act. If you don’t take action, it won’t happen. Period.  

Have sensory acuity. Know what’s going on around you. Set goals to help you realize you are achieving what you want.

Have behavioral flexibility! Be flexible and understanding with yourself.

Operate from a mindset of excellence. You will achieve your goal. Keep believing it!

Don’t allow quitting to be an option. No matter what!
