Do you know what you want in life going forward from today?

Over the past few months I have had the opportunity to reflect on where I want to focus my energies going forward, the sort of work I want to be doing and the type of organisation I want to work for. I feel quite fortunate that I have had the time and space to think about those things and to come to some conclusions.

However, even in the rush of our daily lives we can find some time just to stop and think about what we really want from life can’t we? Whether it’s when travelling by train, taking some time at the weekend to go for a walk or just quietly sat in a corner at some point in the day.

Most of us have goals that we want to achieve. Some may have long-term retirement goals; others may have aims relating to their personal life or to their body (did anyone say, weight loss?!).

But goals, and especially long-term ones, can be extremely difficult to achieve. If you find yourself stuck and not making any progress (or making minimal progress) towards them, what are you to do? In this article, find out some good strategies to use if you aren’t making the progress that you would like towards your goals.

Stop and Take Stock

If you aren’t making progress towards your goals, then you need to stop and take stock. This doesn’t just mean a quick, 5-minute reflection either.

You have to sit down and seriously take stock. Are you doing everything that you need to do to reach your goal? Are you doing things efficiently? For example, if you aren’t losing the amount of weight that you want to be losing, then take a serious look at your diet and exercise routine. Is it working? Could you be doing more?
