Tips for goal setting.

• Write your goals down.
• Avoid vagueness, negations and necessities.
• Split complex goals into main targets and sub-goals.
• State how you intend to achieve your goal.
• Visualize the accomplishment of your objective and what it feels like.
• Reward yourself once the goal is reached.

Increase your desire to succeed.

• Find out the reason why you are studying!
• What is your driving desire to succeed in school?
• Where do you want to be after finishing your education?

Think motivational thoughts.

• Anything worth having is worth working for.
• Nobody is perfect. You’re going to fail. Celebrate your failure and move on. In a few weeks/months/years, you may not even remember that it happened.
• You deserve to be here. They wouldn’t let you in if they didn’t think you could do it.
• Men’s best successes come after their disappointments.
• You can have anything you want if you are willing to give up the belief that you can't have it.
• Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
• All progress takes place outside the comfort zone.

Take action!

• Give yourself a short break. Use this break to get organized and move around.
• Write down three things that you do well or three things that you have accomplished.
• Call your “support peep” –this is someone who will say you’ve had a hard day and encourage you to stay strong.
