Write your goals!

Write your goals in the present tense as if they are already accomplished. For example, let’s say one of your goals is to lose 30 pounds and train for your first ½ marathon over the next year. Your one-year, long-term goal will read, “I have lost 30 pounds and I’m training for my first ½ marathon.” Then break that goal down into the milestone increments and write them in the affirmative as well.
