Don’t forget that you still have a whole month in 2019 to achieve great things 💙

"When you don't keep the promises you made to yourself, you lose trust, and your self-esteem goes down and finally you stop believing in yourself."
Ohmygod.
This just blew my mind. Aileen, you explained the root of my problem.
Thank you so much!

How to set and achieve your goals in 2020
1. Envision. Start with a clear vision of what you want. (Health, career, relationships, personal growth, spirituality, creativity and adventure)
2. Write down the specific goals in each area. Start with the feeling eg glowy, security
Also focus on the why, it keeps you motivated. Try keep it in your sphere of control.
3. Prioritise the goals according to the impact of the goal. Make a plan on how you will achieve these goals.
4. Take action as soon as possible. Your power is in the now.
♦️Keep the promises you make to yourself.
♦️Work on your goals daily. Link with reward.
♦️Track your progress daily
♦️Accountability.

Don’t trick yourself. Make your goals attainable. As Aileen mentioned, if it’s less in your control and more “out of your control” then you may want to reconsider.

The WHY is crucial to sticking to your goals. Envisioning your highest self achieving a goal will definitely help.

From a self love content creator, great video Aileen. Just in time for this new decade. 💜

Another tip: don't start January. Start your goal next month instead. That way you can bypass the initial novelty "feeling" that wears off after a few days-weeks and focus on the goal itself. If something is important to you start now.

This is the kind of stuff that should be taught in school! Life changing! No one has ever explained goals like this to me, and I feel like setting things up like this makes it much more achievable and feels less daunting and impossible. Thank you!!!

Just realized that the reason why my self esteem is super low is because I don't believe myself. I gotta take action and try to build trust with myself. Thank you for reminding me that :)

✨2020✨ This new year has such positive energy attached to it already. A fresh new page, a fresh new decade to design our best life and fulfill our dreams. ♥️ Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it! 😊

I really hope 2020 brings some joy to my life. 2019 has been the worst year out of all my 17 years in this world bcoz i lost my dad a few months back :( and i have suffered sooo much that even at one point i was ao close to choose suicide but luckily i got help and now i just wish to get better!!! I don't want to go into that dark space ever againnn. I really hope i'll get better and find happiness...

I’ve started my goals in September am so excited to continue this 2020 to make it the best year and take my goals to a new “chapter”. Hope everyone finds this 2020 a happy year. 💕🙂

[jeanettemerstrand]

Progress is more important than perfection♥️ I'm working on building trust in myself by keeping the promises I make to myself while still having grace and patience with myself💕

[tfnvv]

I’ve already fallen off my goals for 2020 in the 2nd week of January, but starting Feb I made new goals or reframed them differently in my mind, so I hope to keep those up throughout the month. Annual goals are a little intimidating, so I like setting 30-49 day goals (if your goals are habits, 49 days is the length that best solidifies habits as routine).

[kahofuruta]

I’ve been a big fan of you for 4 years (since I was 18 that was the most depressed time) and I finally got a workbook in 2020✨✨ I am so excited how my life is going on!!! Love you so much from Japan🇯🇵 🌸💕 You are sunshine ☀️

[loveistwicebelongonce]

It's good to have you in this 2020

[juenisclla]

Your video is amazing, right now I want to try following your method, my plan for the next year is graduate from fashion school, finish my collection, and I hope my youtube channel will grow as well.
I personally have so many goals but I want to focus on the most important and things that I love to do.

These are great tips. Especially the part about tracking your actions throughout the year to actually achieve the goal. I also encourage everyone to think about the goals they are setting. Do the goals bring you joy? I've set so many goals based on the stuff I should be doing as opposed to the things that actually felt good to me. I appreciate you discussing "understanding your why".

[Brken_tv]

Who is excited for 2020!! BTW love you Aileen, you always inspired me.

[ziweixu]

I like the opinion that you start with the feelings of how it feels if you want to achieve your goal.

[annawaiq]

This strengthens a lot of the things i already paracticed this year and it worked way better then simply setting goals and then forgeting about them
