Which attributes help you maintain and achieve a goal

Have you ever set a goal for yourself, only to give up when things got tough? If so, you're not alone. Many people struggle to maintain and achieve their goals and don't know about or fully understand how to apply FEEL4. But what if I told you that there are also certain feelings (the glue of the FEEL4 steps) that can help you stay on track?

That's right, your emotions can play a big role in your success. When you feel motivated, confident, and excited about your goal, you're more likely to stick with it. On the other hand, if you're feeling discouraged, stressed, or overwhelmed, it's going to be much harder to stay motivated.

So, which feelings are most helpful for goal achievement? Here are a few of the top contenders:

Motivation (Step 2: Energize).

Motivation is essential for any goal worth pursuing. It's what gets you up in the morning and keeps you going when things get tough. When you're motivated, you're more likely to take action and persevere in the face of challenges.

Confidence.

Confidence is another key ingredient for success. When you believe in yourself and your ability to achieve your goal, you're more likely to take risks and try new things. You're also more likely to bounce back from setbacks.

Excitement.

When you're excited about your goal, it's easier to stay motivated. You're more likely to look forward to working towards your goal and you're less likely to give up when things get tough.

Gratitude.

Gratitude is a powerful emotion that can help you stay focused on your goals. When you're grateful for what you have, it's easier to appreciate the journey towards your goal. You're also more likely to be motivated to keep going, even when things get tough.

Of course, not all feelings are created equal. Some feelings, like anxiety and stress, can actually sabotage your goal achievement. If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's important to take some time to relax and de-stress. You can do this by exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.

It's also important to remember that everyone experiences emotions differently. What motivates one person might not motivate another. The key is to find the feelings that work best for you and to use them to your advantage.

So, if you're struggling to maintain and achieve your goals, don't give up. Remember that your emotions can play a big role in your success. Focus on cultivating the feelings that will help you stay on track and you'll be well on your way to achieving your goals.
