How to Find Motivation to Achieve Your Goal After a Setback

Too much of our life is spent doing what we think we should be doing instead of how we actually want to show up and spend our time. The reality is that our thoughts about what it means to live a successful life have been shaped by outside influences: family, friends, and our environment.

Before you put in the hard work to achieve your goal, you should make sure that the goals you create are aligned with your vision of a successful life. Knowing exactly how you want to spend your time is the key to living an optimized life. With the clarity of what you’re working towards, it’s time to get to work on your goals. While you put in the hard work to achieve those goals, you’ll undoubtedly experience setbacks. Life doesn’t always go as planned, and outside circumstances will set you back.

When you experience a setback, you have a choice to make. You can let that setback keep you stuck, or you can use it as motivation to work even harder. The issue is that feelings and emotions tend to take over during moments of setback and keep success-seekers from pushing forward towards their goals. The question then becomes, how can you achieve your goal after experiencing a setback? If you’re going to get back up and accomplish your goals, you’ll need the motivation to do so. Motivation is the fuel in your goal accomplishment car.

Here’s how to find the motivation to accomplish your goals after experiencing a setback.

1. Silence electronics and get into a mediated vision state
2. Process your emotions and talk it through with someone you trust
3. Spend the first minutes of each morning on yourself
4. Focus on healthy self-optimization habits
5. Find content that inspires you and model examples of success
6. Use the setback as fuel to work harder to accomplish your goals
7. Take this goal accomplishment journey one step at a time

Experiencing a setback doesn’t have to be the end of your goal accomplishment journey. Life offers lessons in many different ways; we have to be willing to listen. Setbacks mean an opportunity to reevaluate what you’re doing and see if there’s a more efficient approach. You need to use setbacks as motivation and have your sources of inspiration. We’re human beings filled with emotions and feelings that tend to run the show too often. It’s time to take a different approach to setbacks.
