Goals

Set short term goals

By having small goals along the way you keep yourself motivated and inspired and that final goal doesn't seem that far away after all

MORE INFORMATION:
If my run isn't going so well I will change my route so I'm making more turns or direction changes. That way I'm not discouraged by distance. I run "just to the corner" then "just to what ever landmark" I see. Soon enough my run is done and I did the full time I set out to do.

Reward Yourself

205 Don't just reward yourself for the big goal, reward yourself for the small goals that lead up to the big goal.

Making Manageable Goals

Making goals that are too far out of reach can be debilitating. It is fine to have a long term goal, but create intermediate goals along the path to reaching that long term goal. If your goal is to walk/run a 5K, pick a time to accomplish 1K, and a time to accomplish 2K, and 3K, and 4K. Then it is just a step to reach the 5K goal. I am approaching my 4K goal ahead of schedule.
