How can I stay committed to my goals when I mess up?
So you've got big dreams, ambitious goals, or you want to change yourself, your life, or your business in some way. Amazing. You start off strong and follow the plan for a couple of weeks, but then life kicks in, real life kicks in, and you fall off the plan, or you forget that you're even trying to do things differently now, and you fall back into status quo, what it's always been. How many times have you had the same resolution, or how long have you actually been working on the same goal? This is because the process of achieving our big goals and desired outcomes, the how we go about getting there, is mostly what derails us, making it harder than it needs to be.
What are the first steps to clarifying my big goal?
And then we often just give up when we mess up, and then all those dreams go unfulfilled, all the goals go unrealized. So today I'm showing you how to stay committed to yourself and your goals even when you mess up. so that you can stay the course, be in it for the long haul, and really truly get what you want. The truth is the only way that you truly fail is if you stop trying and give up when you mess up. Hi, it's Hillary. Welcome to the Hillary Silver Podcast.

How do I differentiate between goals and objectives?
And if you're enjoying this podcast, please consider sharing it with a friend because if you like it, they will probably like it too. Let's talk about the moments when you set a goal or a resolution and then life happens. You mess up. You have one of those, why did I do that moments? It's frustrating, right? But here's the thing. Messing up isn't a dead end. It's really just part of the journey.
Why is celebrating daily progress important?
So I have seven tools that that can help you stay on track even when things don't go perfectly. And even if you only just implement one of these, it's going to help you dramatically. So first, make sure that your big goal is actually very clear to you. And to do that, you can use your senses. What does it look like? feel like, taste like, smell like?
How can I accept my imperfections and mess-ups?
What does it actually look like to live your life when the goal is achieved? What are you doing differently? How are you living your life? And what are the choices that you're making in this future state? If you can't visualize it, you can't create it. period. So don't be vague. You have to be very specific. This is why people use vision boards to have images to go with that outcome that they want. I personally don't like using vision boards, but it works well for a lot of people. Just in case you're wondering why I don't like vision boards, I just don't have time to cut out all the pictures and do all that craftsy stuff. I can use my imagination and my visualization practice to see it and feel it.
And it's more real to me that way, actually. The Daily Journal is an amazing product for that. I'll also put the link to that in the show notes. The second thing I want to make sure that you understand is that there is a difference between goals and objectives. So you have your big goal and vision for yourself, and it's very clear for you now because you've done step one. Objectives are the small baby steps, the actions that you will take each day that slowly add up to the big outcome. So break this all down to small, measurable, tangible actions or tasks that you can do each day. efficient actions that make it clear and easy what you need to do in the moment.
What should I do when I feel stuck or off track?
It makes it feel like you just need to step over a small bump rather than climbing a big hill all the time. So what are all the little things that you need to do that will help you move the needle towards your goal little by little? Write a list of all the things that will help you get there. And those are the things that you need to be focusing on every day. You can include the big needle movers too because some actions will have a bigger impact than others. All of this will help you actually make progress rather than just squirreling around and going nowhere because you don't know what you need to be doing to get closer to your goal.
