I believe that developing and maintaining healthy habits and reaching personal goals requires a balanced approach and consistency. Start by setting short-term, achievable goals — this will keep you motivated to keep working towards a long term goal. Track your progress along the way — when you see tangible results, it helps boost your motivation! Lastly, make sure to give yourself credit for progress made, no matter how small. Celebrate each win - it will boost your mood and help you stay focused on your journey.

I have a few tips for developing healthy habits and reaching personal goals. 
Firstly, start small and set realistic goals. It can be overwhelming to attempt to make drastic changes overnight, so begin with baby steps and build up as you become more comfortable. Aim to develop good habits such as eating healthily, exercising regularly, or setting aside a specific amount of time each day for hobbies or projects. 
 Secondly, make your goal achievable not only in the near term but also farther down the line. This is easier when you break it down into smaller milestones that help you mark progress along the way. Keeping a visual reminder somewhere like on the fridge of what your long-term goal is can help motivate you along the way as well!
Thirdly (and related), maintain an overall mindset of “progress not perfection.” Making mistakes will happen—just make sure it’s part of a learning process rather than an excuse or letdown! Rather than focus too much on how things could/should have gone perfectly each day/week/month etc., keep in mind that improvements are still made even if progress isn’t quite where one hopes it would be at first. So trust your momentum and don't worry so much about comparing yourself to someone else—at least not yet! Keep going; don't stop out of fear or feeling demotivated just because something went wrong in between (which I assure happens to everyone). Make changes quickly based on new observations whenever possible as life does tend change and grow unpredictably often!
Lastly: Be consistent!! Having good habits takes time, practice, dedication—both before & after "going official" with them– but it'll reward itself with greater ease overtime : - )
