hi i'm back if you don't remember me i'm
kristen and this is like Kristen happy
new year
I've been away for a while i've been on
vacation trying to get my mental health
back before I can help you guys because
you know if your caregiver or advocate
or you're working with people with
mental health issues or you want to help
people in general with anything you come
first and your mental health comes first
and I was struggling a little bit around
finals but now I'm back and better and
happy and ready to show you what's going
to happen this next year on LikeKristen
but first I want to talk about goals and
creating realistic goals and sticking to
them. around this time January in general
a lot of people start making new year's
resolutions now you have probably heard these
people going I want to exercise more
I want to eat better I want to journal
each day I want to travel more
these are great great goals for the new
year to improve yourself and just to
make the world a better place but in a
few weeks these people are going to
start eating junk food again not going
to the gym anymore and their journal is
nowhere to be seen either this is you
and you yourself are going through
this have gone through in the past or
you fear that this is going to be you in
the new year
what if i told you that i have 11
tips to guarantee that you can
achieve any goal this year
well I do and I'm very excited to share
with you today and I really hope they
help achieve your goals
i'm excited for goal setting this week
you are too let's get on with these 11
ways make the goals positive and
specific now like I just said a lot of
people go i want to exercise more or
I want to eat better these are more
long-term goals and not specific goals
for us to work toward yes it would be
great to exercise more
what does that mean
does that mean you want to exercise 30
minutes a day do you want to go on more
walks do you want to try something new
like yoga or pilates what does this mean
to you have a long-term goal that you
want to work toward and then makes steps
that are specific enough that you can
achieve them every single month for
example I want to exercise more
what does that mean probably i want to
get a gym membership close to my house I
want to exercise for at least 30 minutes
a day
these are goals that i'm going to work
toward that are specific enough for me
to actually achieve them make your
specific goals easier than the
undesirable behavior you were doing
before this is something a lot of people
don't do or don't take the time to think
about and I really think we should our
goals should be easier than the behavior that
we were doing before an example of this
could be i want a journal for 30 minutes
a day
why am i not achieving that well
probably because my journal is over
there in my bookshelf in the bottom of
my bookshelf and I don't think about it cause
it's not out i don't see it
example like this is you want to journal
more put your journal next to your bed
so it's easier for you to pick it up
then going over there in the bookshop my
know this is very simple example but these
are things that we can do you have to
make your desirable behavior easier
than what you were doing before
yeah post your goals everywhere on your
lock screen of your phone on your
refrigerator on your computer at your
desk in a bookmark in your journal
anywhere that you are going to see it so you
remind yourself that this
I want to achieve and I'm gonna remember
it I see it everywhere create an action
plan
it's easy to say that you want to do
something but it's easier when you have
an action plan. An action plan is just
what i was saying before break your goal
into smaller pieces breaking you're
going into smaller steps really helps
you achieve your goals because it
doesn't look like a big goal anymore
it looks like tiny our goals that are
more achievable create a timeline i love
my planner I plan out all my goals I have
certain things that I want to achieve in
certain months i'm creating something
for youtube and my blog right now it's a
huge project and it's due in March and I
know it's doing mark so i take those
certain baby steps to get there
I feel like it's more motivating that
way tell others about your goals
don't move inside if you tell others
they can keep you accountable they can
remind you about your goals also if you
tell others you can get support have a
support system for your goal
another thing with support is support
groups depending on what your goal is
there's probably other people out there
with the same goals whether it's fitness
writing a novel losing some weight
recovery you want to get rid of about
habit there are people out there who are
going to say things that you're going
through and it's really beneficial to
join a group or support group for your
goal you guys control experiences
stories what works for you
what didn't work for you victories and
accomplishments and just overall support
i want you to remember this
it's ok to mess up everyone messes up no
one is perfect it's totally okay to mess up
but it's not okay to give up on yourself
giving up on your goals is not what we
want we want to achieve our goals we
want to do the best that we can do
sometimes we just mess up that's okay
but we need to keep going because we can
do this
acknowledge your accomplishments I feel
like in our society were so keen on
acknowledging our failures knowing when
we failed at something we don't really
acknowledge when we did something right
so when you have an accomplishment
during your goal maybe you hit your
milestone on your timeline feel good
about that acknowledge that be mindful
of the things that you're doing right
I think mindfulness is really good just being mindful
about what we're doing in our life and
just feeling good about ourselves that
we accomplish something that can
motivate you to keep going along those
lines positive self-talk and
affirmations are amazing with goals if we
tell ourselves that we can't do it we're
going to believe that we need to keep
telling yourself that we can do it we
can achieve our goals what i like to do
in the mornings when i'm feeling low and
i can't accomplish a blog goal or YouTube
goal is I always just sit down take a deep
breath and save affirmations to myself
like you are talent you have passion you
are unique and you
change lives or something like that if I
feel like I'm not really doing a lot of
my youtube or something like that so
find some affirmations that work for you
and say them to yourself when you don't
feel like you can accomplish your goals
because i know and we both know we do
that you can accomplish any goal that
you put your mind to
you just need to tell yourself that and
the 11th tip that I have is start now it's
so hard to start a goal because we tell
ourselves
oh yeah i'll start tomorrow yeah my diet will
start tomorrow I will exercise tomorrow
oh yeah I start that novel tomorrow you
probably have told yourself this before
start now start today because if you are
in that cycle of start tomorrow I'll
start tomorrow
you're never going to start let me know
your goals and things you want to
accomplish in 2017 let me know down
below
I can't wait for the new year and what
is going to come for this channel for me
personally or you guys I have so many
great videos blog posts just things for
you and I can't wait for you to see them
i hope we have the best year together
and can't wait to see where we this year

this journey I just feel so honored that
I get to have you guys in my presents
