Setting goals can be difficult if you don't have a guideline to follow. Here is your guideline.
1. They must be measurable.
2. They must have a time-frame.
3. They must be attainable.
4. They must be written.
5. They must be believable.
Poor goals or no goals can cause frustration and will sabotage you from reaching them. We will cover each step in detail throughout the week.
In the meantime, start by making one or two goals today. By the end of the week you'll know if they fit the model of a proper goal and one worth striving for.
God Bless!
I feel that reaching goals is a lot like the whole need and want thing. It all comes back to motivation. If there are things that maybe seem like good ideas in your life and you don't really have the motivation for, it's kind of like pissin in the wind. For example, me with smoking. It sounds great to quit, but yet I just don't have the motivation to do it. Maybe the word realistic should be put in to five categories some where. Love ya
ReplyDeleteI had realistic and changed it to believable. It is important that the goal setter believes they can reach the goal. It can be realistic, yet not believable?
ReplyDeleteWho determines when a goals is realistic? Isn't it based on your own self belief? In the case of Chris who want's to quit smoking, it might be seen that quitting smoking is believable as well as realistic. Many people have been able to quit so it would be realistic and if you have thoughts of quitting it would be believable. What motivations would assist you in quitting? What's important to you? Do you really enjoy smoking or is it addiction speaking?
