Struggling to stick to a plan or achieve a goal? 🤔
Are you struggling to stick to a plan or achieve your goals? 🤔
It could be due to something called the False Hope Syndrome. 🚫
One common mistake I often see is setting overly ambitious goals in a very short time frame📆
We all want to be fit for Christmas or look great at the beach, but when it's almost December, aiming to lose 10kg in a few weeks might not be realistic and could harm your mental health in the long run 😔
Setting goals that are too ambitious, leading to inevitable failure, is known as the False Hope Principle. This often involves over-promising to your boss, setting unrealistic New Year's resolutions, or underestimating the time and effort required for significant changes like quitting smoking or improving your skills.
Instead, consider where you want to be in the next 10 years and work backward from there, setting achievable milestones at various intervals 🤩
✅ 5 years,
✅ 4 years,
✅ 3 years,
✅ 2 years,
✅ 1 year,
✅ 6 months,
✅ 1 month,
✅ 1 week,
✅ 1 day.
Breaking down your long-term goal into daily actions can empower you to achieve anything you set your mind to! 💪
