Goal setting can be a fun and engaging activity. Allow yourself to dream a bit and open your mind as you determine how to set the goals you wish to achieve.
First focus on the following three components of goal setting:
Goal setting can help you achieve your dreams.
2. Setting consistent but small tasks necessary to achieve your goals. If you break your goals down into smaller tasks you are more likely to achieve. (Example: If you set a goal to run 1 mile each day this week and 2 miles each day next week etc. you are more likely to end up being able to run a marathon, than if you want to just start by running a marathon.) Small daily efforts truly do add up to large achievements.
3. Motivation. Remind yourself of the reasons you wish to achieve your goal. If you set a strong motivator, you are more likely to reach your goals.
Then keep going until you achieve your goals. Goal setting should be an exercise of bringing into your life more of what you want. Life passes us by and will continue to do so – if you do not take advantage of goal setting, you may end up discovering time passing without achieving the things you truly want.
Take a few minutes today and start goal setting.
