I have always believed in knowing where am going. It's kinda difficult for me to leave my landing destination to chance. So, Goal setting have been one of my favorite topics and tasks too. Don't grin, I'm not that bad in it.
I always try my best to stick to my plans. Anyway, Day one - I'll be all enthusiastic about doing stuffs. Day two, fine. Not that bad. Then, over a period of time my interest and perseverance used to deteriorate. I have observed this many a times and I used to call it off whenever I'm on the verge of collapse - Buddy, YOU NEED A BREAK!!! And that break would be the end of it.
Have you faced this issue anytime? Don't think about bluffing a NO.
One boring day, I decided to find out whats going wrong every time. After thinking about this cycle a lot, it dawned on me. Holy cow!!! I always try to over-do things, push myself to the limits. And because of this nature of mine, I found it very difficult to continue doing anything.
So, I decided to deceive myself a bit. I found a trick. Rather than over-do something I started to under-do it. Blimey! It paid off very well, over the period of time I wasn't wearing off as I used to. Also, day by day I found more interest in doing everything with involvement rather than doing it as a ritual.
Still confused, may be you need valiant example. Suppose, you want to have a great body and you also know what you have to do to achieve it. You know that you've to workout, control your diet and keep an eye on your calorie in-take. So, you prepare yourself for the journey and in the very beginning you start to over-do everything.
You spend an hour in the gym, follow a crash diet and you are all into low calorie food. Soon you will be overwhelmed with what you are doing and sooner, you'll be back to square one. In no time, you will call it off and take a break - eat everything you like, more of pastries and ice creams with less or no workouts.
And you very well where this small break will lead to - a big break. It takes all the effort in this world to start it all over again.
Instead of this, try to underwhelm yourself. Start off with 20 minutes of work out a day, be conscious about your food but do not starve in the name of a crash diet. Give yourself some credit. Soon you will feel the difference. Instead of being overwhelmed, you will be underwhelmed and you will be more interested to stick to your plan.
Over a period of time, this method of achieving your goals yields superior results.
Remember the old saying, "Drops of water, makes mighty ocean." Won't you be happy to achieve more by doing less? Give it a shot, friend!
