Momentum Is Key to Crossing the Finish Line

Momentum is imperative to reaching your goals and is essential to becoming successful. It’s important that you find momentum as soon as you set your goals. Begin immediately.

Momentum works the same in life as it does for surfers. When the momentum is there, ride the waves until you reach your goals. You have to create your own momentum, don’t wait for something to happen.

Keeping momentum is easier if you set a schedule for yourself and your goals. Know that you’ll have to leave your comfort zone at times. Each moment that you hesitate will make it even more difficult to move forward.

Procrastination is the enemy. As long as you keep putting off what you should have already begun, the momentum will never come – and you’ll never reach your goals.

You can use momentum to overcome procrastination by always taking action. When you do this, your goals will come more into focus and it won’t be difficult to overcome obstacles and keep gaining momentum toward success.

Action should be your main focus when working to reach your goals. As you move and create momentum is built, your confidence grows and results are achieved. To keep from being overwhelmed by ambitious goals, break your goals into small steps.

You’ll give each step the momentum it needs by focusing on that rather than looking too far ahead. If a step seems too difficult or it’s not something you like doing – do it anyway. You’ll become resilient against setbacks and more likely to continue than give up. The self-confidence you’ll gain from taking action will entice you to move to the next step – and the next. That’s momentum.

Asking a teacher if you can take a math test in a separate room or after class if you get test anxiety.
