Goals, goals, goals. There is such a buzz going around 'on-the-line' for self-improvement goals. #Instachallenges, pintrest challenges, Facebook group challenges, fitness app challenges, clean eating challenges, yoga challenges, meditation challenges, write a novel in a month challenges, start your own business challenges, blog every day and the list could go on forever, with literally any challenge you can think of that would improve your life in the way you want it to be improved. All of these goals and challenges are so well intended; a creation in your mind built on inspiration and super charged motivation. You've seen the light and you're going to change your life, you have realised how much power you have now! But what happens when your super charged motivation begins to dim? A few days in, a few weeks or even a few months in and your charge starts to fade. The electiricity in your veins flickers and your brilliant idea doesn't seem as bright as the lightbulb once was? Maybe it's all in the way that we set ourselves up for our goals? Staying Motivated isn't always easyStaying motivated can be really difficult and feel almost out of your control, for some reason you just lose interest and that fire you built earlier begins to fade. It seems that the only time I have remained motivated throughout an entire challenge was when you had this super human PASSION, which is a luxury to say the least. Life distracts you from your goals. Get your priorities right!There is so much going on for us in daily life! I'm sure if we had all of the security and all of the resources in the world that we needed to live comfortably, then pursuing our goals would be the first thing on our minds. But there is just so much to think about and we have almost no time to do it all in. Suddenly your life changing goals and ambitions are put on the back burner because you have more important things to do. You don't have a spare moment in your mind to continue creating and building on your ideas and most importantly you have no time at all to keep pumping yourself up! Your ideas are incredible but you don't spend enough time reminding yourself to that fact. Get your priorities in order, what is truly important to you and why isn't it at the TOP of your to-do list?! #createthelifeyouloveStay Clear, Stay Focused and Remember Your WhyHow do you stay clear? What is your why and how do you stay focused? Staying Clear: What do you want in life? What do you want to create? What do you want to see? What do you want to experience? Sit down with yourself somewhere calm and ask yourself these questions. Find out what you want and make this vision crystal clear in your mind. When you create a goal, challenge, if you are offered a job, meet someone new, if you are offered an opportunity of change or if you have to make a big financial decision, ask yourself if this falls into place within your crystal clear vision of a life that you LOVE. If it doesn't fit, then don't do it. If it does fit, GO FOR IT! What is your WHY? This is probably the most important question you can ever ask yourself. This question has the power to revamp your motivation or stop an idea dead in its tracks. Your why has the power to turn heads and fill people's hearts with understanding, compassion, inspiration and drive. Why is this important to you? Why do you want this? Why do you want to manifest this in your life? Staying Focused: Making everything you want happen. Staying focused takes discipline and mindfulness. Discipline: Your motivation will certainly fade at times, for all sorts of different reasons or excuses, you decide what you want to call it. In the end the reasons and excuses don't matter at all, what you need to do at this point is return to your crystal clear vision and your WHY. Remind yourself why it is so crucial that you keep going despite all obstacles. Mindfulness: You want to start creating a life that you love? Then it's time to come off auto-pilot people. When you're own auto-pilot you will stay on the same flight path and nothing will change. Auto-pilot takes you to all sorts of places you've been a million times over: Facebook, Instgram, the same route to work or school, the same restaurants, the same people, the same music and the same movies. Be mindful as to what you do, because what you do is what you create. Is checking Facebook right now taking you closer to a life that you love? No? Then get off Facebook and remind yourself what task will take you closer to where you want to be. Mindfully choose what you should be doing to what aligns with your goals. Remember your Why: Motivator of the CenturyLosing motivation is all apart of the journey we call life. I don't know the meaning of life, but I do not that since I have been here, I have been learning and growing every single day and I have learnt that problems only stay problems until we decide to find and act out the solution. Regaining your motivation to continue to grow and develop into the brilliant person you are meant to be is not seperate from this. You will fall down and you will fade in and out but you can choose to get back up and try again and again and again; each attempt bringing more meaning purpose into your life. Don't strike out just yet despite the fact that you are tired or just over it. Remember your why and let it light your way when all you see is darkness. Your why is the most powerful attribute that you have and it is what makes you unique, let that shine through all of the scars and battle wounds from each fall and you might just see why the fall is so important. Dare to Ignite beautiful souls.

AuthorMy name is Brittney and my life pursuit has been that of self-improvement and growth. It took me a long time to realize that I don't really fit into societies model that you need to go to school, find a career, strive to be extremely succesful to then get married and have kids, ever acquiring material objects. There is nothing wrong with this model at all and for those who can embrace this with whole-hearted happiness, keep going with it. Archives
