Goals can never be accomplished if your spirit is malnourished and your outlook is bleak. Here are 10 ways to stay motivated:
1. Make a list of people you admire, are successful in the way you desire, and are examples of your values. Is there any one you can ask to be a mentor to you?
2. Consider joining or starting a support group that will give you a sense of community and a connection with people who share similar goals.
3. Post your goals and visuals in a visible place for you and others to see.
