Getting My Body Back Friday - Don't Let a Lack of Encouragement Stop You From Achieving Your Goals

Feeling discouraged? Have no one around to encourage and support you in achieving your goals? Don't let a lack of encouragement stop you from reaching your desired results.

If you are surrounded by family and friends who don't see and understand your vision don't let that stop you because you may be the light for them to follow, to show them that they too can achieve their goals and live their dreams.

Sometimes all it takes is one person who's willing to stand up in support of their dream and the others will follow. Many uncharted lands have been crossed by people who were willing to take the risk and create their own paths.

They did not wait for someone to show them the way. They followed the strong desire in their hearts to make a difference in their lives and the lives of their families even if they were the only ones who had ever done what they were doing. If you are willing to go all the way, dare to take the risk, the universal power will be available to help you cross to the finish line.

Here are some nuggets you can use to help you stay encouraged on your journey to achieving your goals.

Nugget #1 - Encourage yourself

Sometimes you may be the only cheerleader on your team. You may be the one to do your own motivational self-talk. Find a song that will keep you encouraged and stir up your energy and creative juices inside. Pat yourself on the back. Praise yourself. It's what you're saying to yourself that will make the difference in making it to the manifestation of your goals.

Nugget #2 - Find a group of like-minded individuals

If you don't have family and friends who support you, find a community or online group where you can share experiences and encouragement. You don't have to go it alone. Many support groups have been set up for many different topics. Just find one that meets your needs and participate in them.

Nugget #3 - Use motivational material

Borrow from your library, purchase or watch online motivational material. YouTube is loaded with all kinds of positive videos you can use to listen to some great people who share their experiences and how to's. Take what resonates with you and use it.

Nugget #4 - Develop an unstoppable mindset

Let nothing stand in your way of achieving your goals - "I'll keep moving forward one step at a time until I reach my goal. I'm successful. I awaken the Spirit of greatness within me. I will overcome every obstacle that stands in my way. I am strong." Focus on your goal, own it and strengthen your mind.

Nugget #5 - Connect with the Universal Wisdom

Even though I have listed this as the last it should be the first thing you do to overcome lack of encouragement. Let the Universal Wisdom be your guide and inner strength. Send your roots deep down as you spend time in quiet meditation. This is where you go beyond your will power to gain power from within. You'll draw exactly what you need, when you need it and at the time you need it.
