Realistic goal setting occurs, if you have written goals. Unless you put your goals in writing your chances of achieving them are quite small.

When your goals are written down for each day, that day becomes an event, a contest with yourself. That day becomes one step in a journey to achieve what you want from life.

So write your goals down, and give credibility to them. Tell yourself I’m excited about achieving these goals today, I am that much closer to my ultimate goals. Now realistic goals can be set and achieved with enthusiasm.

Writing your goals makes extra effort easier. You have made the important decisions of what needs to be done today. Now convert your goals into realities and continue to progress towards the completion of your plan.

If you develop the skill to set goals that are achievable and exciting, you will be rewarded with success.

Four Goal Setting Mistakes

December 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment

21322509209_img-0194.jpgGoal setting is an interesting process. There are several specific features that make goals attainable. Goals become “well formed outcomes” when they are stated in positives, individually driven, sensory based, and ecological. This article will help you identify where your goals may not be well formed.
Here are four big mistakes that may be keeping you from reaching your goals. How many of these are you making at the moment?
Mistake 1. Focusing on what you don’t want instead of what you do.
Beyond the idea that you get more of what you focus on (and who wants more of what they’re trying to get rid of?) this is a matter of training yourself to see things differently. What are you looking for now and in the future?
Mistake 2. Relying on the actions of others to reach your goals.
Any thing that is not driven by your actions is out of your control.

Setting SMART goals is key to being successful. If you want to learn what ‘SMART Goals’ are and what they can do for your life, read this article now. Goal Setting – Are You Making Any of These 3 Deadly Mistakes?

Which of these 3 mistakes are you making in your goal setting? Read on to discover which ones you’re making and what to do instead. Personal Goal Setting – Accomplish Those Goals

Being part of the total personal development formula, personal goal setting is without doubt fundamental in supplying a clear insight of what you need to accomplish. Establishing at least one or so goals looks like to be a straightforward procedure. Achieve Your Goals by Having SMARTER Goals

You are probably familiar with the goal setting process taught at goal setting courses: SMART goal. The approach I’m going to write about is a little bit different. The process is called SMARTER goal. Why smarter? Because it’s smarter than SMART. Let’s look at what SMARTER stands for.There is no way to *make* other people do things. The only tools you have are your own behavior. Besides which, most of the times what we really want is to respond in a more positive way and we try to take the easy way out by removing the action rather than changing our reaction.
Mistake 3. Ignoring the positives of the current situation and losing them when we create a new situation by reaching our goals.
There’s a story of a man totally focused on giving your family the big house, the new car, the vacations. He was working 18 hour days and barely seeing the family he was working to support. When he described the wonderful life he was creating there was one thing missing: him. He had set a goal that killed him from the stress of reaching it. I don’t know about you but breathing is one of those positives I’d like to keep in my life no matter what the goal.
By maintaining the good things in our life we are more likely to reach our goals and a lot more likely to actually enjoy life once we’re there!
Mistake 4. Having no way of telling when the goal has been reached.
If you aren’t seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, or smelling something there is no way for you to “measure” it. I agree that everything measurable is not worth having and not everything work having is measurable. However, there is always some way to tell through our senses when we’ve reach our goals or they are just guesses at things we might never attain.
By avoiding these four mistakes you can create “well formed outcomes” in your goal setting process.

Importance of Goal Setting

December 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment

11322509399_dsc00732.jpgEvery one of us, regardless of the age, height, physical appearance, and beliefs has our own goals. If we were asked on what our goals are, the answers may be simple. We will just think of a good thing that we want to happen in the near future. It can be in our family, career, studies, social life, or health. But what most of us do not know, there are goals that we simply do not plan or do not want but still we have to fulfill them. For instance, your electric bill is too high for this month’s consumption. No matter what you do or whatever you say, your goal is to pay for the bill right? That simply means that not all goals are your dreams and plans, most of them are your obligations that you have to fulfill.

We all know that goals are important and we should know how to handle our plans well for us to reach our destinations. But like I said, we have different ways of thinking. It’s like this. Consider your goal your destination. Of course, we have our own ways to get their right? Whether it’s effective or not, whether it’s fast or slow, we will eventually get there. Our road to get there is what you call goal setting.

Goal setting is important to everyone. Isn’t it fulfilling to sleep everyday knowing that you can have what you want and what you need in a specific time frame? But of course, there are series of steps on how to do them. And you have to make sure that you will follow these steps in order to achieve your goals.

If you set your mind to reach your dreams and organize your plans well, you have less chances of failing. Everything will be handled properly and you will learn a lot through the process. Goal setting requires discipline, self control, patience, and hard work. The best thing about it is that you can be easily motivated by your goals not only to reach them but eventually to learn and master these virtues.

You will learn that in the end, you not only reach your goal but you also become a better person. Goal setting helps people a lot in improving themselves, their perceptions, beliefs, and the way they live their lives. If you will just have a proper goal setting, you can easily get the things that you want. Losing weight will never be that hard when you know how to set your goals. Saving and money problems will not come in your way as well. That’s how important goal setting is.
