7 Strategies To Reach Your Full Potential

Are you stuck, unsure of how to reach your full potential? Are you limiting yourself by ignoring the full potential you’re capable of reaching? At first, it feels like too much effort to go out of your comfort zone and see how far you can go.

That effort is what keeps a lot of people from even trying in the first place. However, it’s interesting to see what you can accomplish if you try.

Today I want to share with you some strategies you can use to reach your full potential and discover yourself.

7 Strategies That Will Help You Reach Your Full Potential

When you think back on your past, and into your future, what have your goals looked like? Have you often achieved the goals you’ve set for yourself, or do you let them slide to the wayside?

These are just a few questions to ask yourself as you work on reaching your full potential. A lot of what holds us back is our own thoughts.

As soon as you learn to reprogram your thoughts, you will quickly start to see doors open and your life becomes more fruitful.

1. Start with baby steps

As you create big goals for your future, break them down into tiny baby steps. You’ll get easily overwhelmed by all of the to-do’s, causing you to feel frozen in place.

Categorize the steps into groups and break it all down, then choose one thing to focus on for this week. If you want to start working out more, set aside just 5 minutes a day to focus on that.

2. Your progress ebbs and flows

To give you an idea of what progress and success looks like:

Just like with this blog that you’re reading, progress is a bumpy road. It took me a long time to figure out how to blog and how to get people to see it.

There were SO many times I just wanted to give up on it, but the picture from above is what’s kept me motivated to continue on this journey.

Once you can accept how progress really goes, you will have more patience with the process. It just comes with persistence and time.

The longer you stick with it, the more progress you will make. You will also learn a lot of lessons along the way that will build your resilience!

3. Narrow down to one thing at a time

Limit yourself to just a few activities if you want to reach a high level of mastery. Mastering anything takes time.

Patience is key to long-term development

For example, if you want to be more physically active then focus on just one thing. Maybe that’s replacing soda with water, or running 10 minutes a day.

Start small so the new changes don’t feel overwhelming. Focus on one thing, then move on to the next.

I am the type of person who loves to dabble in different things, so I don’t want to limit you to just one thing. But, it is helpful to focus your attention on one thing at a time so you get really good at it. Then you can move on to the next thing.

4. Imagine the new you

Another way to think of this is when you wake up in the morning, imagine being the person you want to be.

If you want to be healthier, ask what would a healthy person do. Then DO those things. If a healthy person would eat an apple instead of chips, do that.

Be the person you want to be by practicing this exercise.

5. Be persistent

In order to make lasting changes, you have to push yourself. Keep doing the grind and keep reminding yourself of your why.

Why do you need this, why do you want it? Keep that at the top of your mind until it becomes ingrained into you.

Consistency and persistence are key, as well as a tremendous amount of patience.

6. Always be learning

Connect with like-minded people around you who remind you of why you want this in the first place. Then learn from them.

Take online courses or even find a coach who can help guide you to where you want to be.

We can’t always do things alone and you’ll need plenty of support to nudge you in the direction you want to go.

7. Break free from fear

Fear can hold you back from doing anything, and from living an amazing life. Instead, you want to have fear be a part of your life, but not let it control you.

Allow fear to keep you on your toes and lean into it. Once you see that fear is just what you make up in your head to be scary, you will slowly become less fearful.
