Such strategies include ways to help in goal setting and goal pursuit. Mental contrast is a self-discipline strategy for goal setting which, as stated by Duckworth and Oettingen (2010), means that “the positive future is processed first, and the negative reality is framed as an obstacle to goal realization” . positive future” (p.4). The contrasting mental strategy requires making both the desired future and the present reality accessible at the same time by focusing on them together with each other (Duckworth & Oettingen, 2010). Regarding commitment to the goal, this can be achieved through the strategy of implementation intentions. Gollwitzer (1999) suggests that people can form implementation intentions to help them in the goal attainment stage, that is, making “if-then” plans (as cited in Duckworth & Oettingen, 2010). If someone sets a goal and strives to achieve it, they will have a better chance of actually achieving it, than someone who doesn't, because someone who does will be focused on achieving it and won't let anything get in their way. In other words, they minimize distractions that may occur in their environment to stay focused on the task at hand.
