The Art Of Being Alone

After deciding which area of your life needs more attention, it's time to take ACTION. But the question is where to start. Most people make the mistake of randomly starting out of motivation and by the next week, they feel clueless. It used to happen to me all the time. In the past, | tried to adopt a healthier lifestyle. | would feel motivated and decide 'You know what, | am gonna become healthier this year.'

Well, in less than a week, | would find myself stuffing fries and pizza in my mouth whilst watching a hot romantic movie on Netflix.

But as | shared earlier, when | started writing on Medium, | had just one goal. And that goal was based on ACTION. From the very first day, | was clear. | even wrote this on my whaatsapp group (where only | am added. It's a great hack. Make a group only for yourself and send yourself messages. Messages that you would like to receive from others. Messages that you can send to your current self to calm down and think straight or maybe a few things as a reminder) that my goal is to write one article every day. And | never made any Excel sheet or bought any cute templates or any aesthetic looking journal to track my progress. Do you know WHY?

Because | didn't overburden myself. How tough is it to track one ACTION? One article every day. Either | wrote or | didn't. Simple, right?

You need to understand that setting big goals that sound cool and energetic is fine. It shows your enthusiasm but it also represents that you are out of your mind. People set goals all the time. They keep making giant promises to themselves only to make excuses in the end. And then they expect other people to stay and fulfill their promises. God, we are kidding ourselves.

| want you to take a breath, get patient, and focus on what | am saying. This one thing will seriously change the way you look at your goalS and your working system. Instead of setting vague goals. Focus on setting ACTION GOALS.

What Are Action Goals?

Action goals mean you know what you will be doing to achieve your dream life. Action goal defines clear-cut what you are supposed to do every day to get one step closer to your destination.

When | set an action goal, | made it clear that my target is to WRITE, which is an action, every day, which defines how often am | supposed to take the action.

Now, it's your turn. Again, don't overwork yourself. Take out a piece of paper and write in front of that BIG ISSUE, ONE ACTION GOAL. Yes, make it clear enough for yourself what's the one action you will perform every day to get closer to your destination. And then no matter what, DO IT.
