Without realistic goals, it is hard to progress

Recently there are many regular things that I started to lose: writing 5 min a day, learning language, exercise, learning programming or coursers, and many more. 

There are two possible parts. First, is that I no longer have the goals. Without goals, the repetition becomes meaningless, just like how I do not feel like doing stretching in the morning, or to eat sufficient breakfasts in the morning. The lumo body lift to remind me being slouch is also less useful nowadays. In other word, I need to keep remember why I do that. For example, the stretching is because I want to achieve certain flexibility and certain strength. The good posture is also something I need so that I can control my breath and stress better. 

Similarly, for managing my emotions, I need goals. For example, that I need to be able to keep disputing my negative thoughts if I want to achieve my other goals. So, the practice of REBT twice a day becomes important, instead of just for the sake of doing. 

Secondly is the realistic. Remember to review whether the goal is realistic. Remember, it is not possible to suddenly change. It requires practice. It requires milestones. It needs budgeting. And even the process of budgeting itself needs practice. 

In doing these things, remember what people already said to me, I am not that weak. I have tendency to view things negatively, so when things look bleak, have faith that it is brighter than I thought. Even when I cannot do it now, find alternative, seek help, or if I need to do it, remember to practice step by step.
