2．It's early January and for many，it's the right time of year to hit"reset"and （re）commit to all the things you want to happen in 2015：exercise，lose weight，and finally learn Chinese，etc．Our lists have been made，but the outcomes tent to let us down．
We may start off strong，but we can get steered off course before we realize it．You would have gont to the gym，but the delivery is coming in the morning so you have to wait for it．You did great last week keeping off the desserts，so what the heck-it's a birthday party，you deserve to have just one!You were totally up for going to that networking event，but your husband is away and the kids need you．Your mind becomes masterful at creating those convincing"reason"why you couldn't do something．
Of course，there are many times when we fight through the various circumstances that present themselves to achieve something that matters to us，but then there are other times when we buy into the excuse and stories we tell ourselves to defend why not to do something．
I've worked with many successful people over the years，and they frequently share similar habits and routines that make up the kind of mindset that is good at achieving goals and persevering through any circumstances．I've often taken note of them，and here are the top five most easy-to-do actions that can be applied to any goal or commitment you have．I fine these especially helpful sa we begin a fresh new year of goals．
1．GETEARLYWIINS
You cannot underestimate how much this fuels your commitment．Define what"early wins"look like and make sure that they're in your control．For example，if you said，"exercise four times weekly"，that's in your hands，so make sure you meet or exceed this number consistently．It fuels you to continue．
2．TRACK POSITIVE PROGRESS
It's important to know what you've accomplished．Mostly we focus on what ISN'T happening．This is bringing down your energy level and mood．Keep a notebook or journal （digitally or paper） of what is getting done so you can visibly see progress．If you have several goals，keep different journals．
3．COMMIT TO OTHERES
The more you share your goals with others，the more you become responsible for taking action．Take it a step further and enlist someone you will"report"to and share your progress．Make sure this person push you and not let you off the hook．
4．MAKE MISTAKES AND MOVE ON
You won't be perfect．When you're not，declare，embrace and own it，then move on fast．Recommit and get right back in the game．Also，disable your rearview mirrors （后视镜）．What happened before doesn't have to influence what happens next．
5．DEFINE YOUR OWN SUCCESS
There is no"right"way to get to your goal．It's yours and you're the author．Clearly map out the route to the top with milestones and what success looks like．The more clear you are on not only the"what"but the"how"，the easier it will be to take action．
The goals you create are hugely important，but in fact the most exciting part is the self-discovery in the process of getting there．Make this year an amazing year of breaking barriers and being"unreasonable"with yourself to achieve success．
