8 Habits
That Can Help You Get Closer To Your Dreams
We all have dreams. Dreams make us
appreciate existence and strive for more. Once we achieve certain dreams, they
become reality, they become like every other day, they lose their magic. We
start to chase new dreams — we need to chase new dreams over and over again. We
need to have goals in life, to move forward and to have something valuable to
strive toward.
What do you do to
make your dreams reality? There is no overnight success, you have to work hard
and be disciplined. Step-by-step, you will reach your dreams if you really want
to. These 8 little habits will help you with the chase, taking you one
step closer, day by day.
1. Set goals
Dreams are dreams,
but to make them real you need tangible goals. Set up goals and stick to
them. These don’t have to be revolutionary or game-changing
goals, even small goals help you to get closer to your final dream. Let them be
milestones you need to accomplish over a certain time. Once you do
accomplish a goal, set a new one until your mission is complete and you start
to chase a new dream.
2. Take action every day
Whatever your dream
might be, act on it every day. If your dream is to be a
professional football player, then practice every day. If you want to be a
guitarist, play every day. If you want to be a writer, you should write every
day. All dreams demand passion and hard work. You will gradually get
better and better at what you do, and you will come closer to your dream without
even realizing it.
3. Schedule time to focus
Block time for your
dreams and goals. Don’t let others steal this scheduled time — protect it. Set
it aside and use it to meet your goals and work on your dreams. You need focus
and discipline — every time you get distracted, you fall behind and have to
start over. Practice extreme focus during this time. Turn off all other
distractions.
4. Read and listen
Read books, blogs,
and articles. Listen to podcasts and interviews. Try to read or listen to
something valuable each morning while you eat breakfast or work out.
Preferably, read success stories about others who achieved similar dreams to
yours. You will gain crucial knowledge and the stories will motivate you every
day and help you think
positively.
You can get started with a simple Google search.
5. Network at every opportunity
Go to networking
events or just parties and dinners with friends. Take every chance you get to
learn from others and build a network. Be open to new people and always help
others, even if you don’t have any direct benefits from it for the
moment. A strong network is key, no matter what you want to achieve in
life. Your help will be remembered and doors can open — you never know who has
what kind of power in making things happen. Perhaps it will benefit your
dream in the long run.
6. Review your strategy and progress
Keep evaluating your
strategy and progress of your goals. Maybe you need to pivot and adjust the
goals? Maybe you need different goals? Are you getting the expected results?
Keep evaluating what you do and amend if needed. Keeping track of success and
how you achieved it is valuable information to have in order to know what works
well and what doesn’t. You will learn from your mistakes and they will help you
develop. Evaluating your methods is necessary so you know if you’re on the
right track or not.
7. Exercise for 30 minutes a day
Take care of your
body and soul. To keep the mind in shape and be productive, creative, and
motivated, you need to stay healthy. Try to exercise at least 30
minutes per day — it
will do miracles for your motivation and mind.
8. Celebrate each milestone
When you reach
milestones and goals, celebrate and praise yourself. You have accomplished
goals and you should be rewarded for it. Don’t forget to have fun and celebrate
success along the way. This will motivate you and you will feel that you are
moving forward and closer to your dream. Make sure these celebrations are
appealing to you. Perhaps you might buy yourself a small gift or treat yourself
to an indulgent dinner with friends — whatever keeps you motivated.
Have these little
habits in mind and you will get closer to your dreams each day!
