We all have ideas on what we want, what we desire, what we dream of achieving. The question is, how do we turn those dreams into goals? I have a six-step plan I use for goal setting/achieving and I am going to share it with you!
* A goal must be well defined. It makes them more attainable.
* A goal must be stated in writing. We are all super busy and without a written goal, placed somewhere (say, the fridge) to be see on a daily basis, it is easy to push aside or forget what we are working towards.
* A goal must be stated in the positive. Stating a goal in a positive way makes it an affirmation. Our minds don't understand negatives. Saying…"I am not going to eat chocolate computes as, I will eat chocolate." Instead, try, I will make healthy choices when snacking.
* A goal must have a deadline for its completion. In order to stay focused on want we want to accomplish, we need a deadline to keep a sense of urgency, to push us to stay on track.
* A goal must have sincere emotional appeal. An emotional appeal adds to the motivation and sense of urgency. Goals must be prioritized and distinction must be made between a wish and an important objective.
* A goal must be difficult, yet realistic. Set goals in a sustained concentrated effort that way the confidence will be there that it can be achieved.
That's it! That is the list to start reaching your goals. Try it out and let me know what you think!
