How to: achieve your goals

The final session!

We’ll explore the science behind achievement and how it can positively impact your brain and well-being. When we achieve something, our brain releases dopamine, giving us a feel-good boost, energy, and motivation – a rush similar to that first cup of coffee in the morning. Achieving goals brings satisfaction, builds confidence, and reinforces our sense of capability.

Why is it important?

• Dopamine release – Achievement triggers dopamine release, which fuels motivation and a sense of well-being.
• Increased confidence – Achieving even small goals strengthens our belief in our abilities, helping us to take on new challenges.
• Motivation boost – Accomplishing tasks energises and propels us forward in both personal and professional aspects of life.

How to increase it:
In the second session, we’ll dive into practical ways to enhance your sense of achievement and keep that dopamine flowing:

• Reflect on past successes to remind yourself of your accomplishments.
• Set clear goals for your future, creating a vision of what you want to achieve.
• Celebrate creatively by recognising your wins uniquely, making each achievement special.
• Celebrate small wins – No victory is too small to acknowledge; each one brings you closer to your larger goals.

This event is perfect for anyone looking to stay motivated, boost their confidence, and learn the benefits of celebrating big and small achievements. Come and discover how the power of achievement can energise and inspire you!
