Be honest with yourself. Is this goal a “should” or a “want”? Do you feel
you should (ought to) do it, or is it really an important value to you (want to)?
Check one of the following three categories of personal motivation:

High motivation: I am determined to achieve this objective,
no matter what.
Medium motivation: I’ll do better, and I’ll do the best I can.
Low motivation: It is something I think I should do, but my
feelings aren’t really there.
Go back to your barriers, and, after reflection, answer four more questions:

Who can help and support my efforts?

What other factors or resources could help me?

Can I mobilize myself? What are my next immediate steps?

What additional actions will I take to help myself?
