Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Simple Goal Setting Rules Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Really think about the goals that you want to accomplish. Spend more time contemplating
them than writing them out. Think about them first. You may even want to do a few rough drafts before you set them. Think of setting your goals as something that is being 'set in stone' in your mind. Your mind takes your goal setting very seriously. (And Literally.) Take your time with this part. There's no rush. Enjoy the process of imaging what your life will be like once you achieve them. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ A good way to tell if you are on track is if you feel excited, motivated or invigorated thinking about your goals. If you feel icky or anxious, rethink what you want to create and why.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Simple Writing Reminders Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
These are, just simply, good 'rules' to follow when you're doing any goal setting. They will keep you organized, on track and will be incredibly helpful (if you follow them) when you go back to revisit your journal entries and check your goal lists. And, by the way, you always want to revisit them. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Try to find a day and time to go back over everything you're creating. Be honest with yourself about your schedule and routine. Whether you do it once a week, once a month or once a year, set a reminder and Do It. Consistently.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Balanced Goal Setting Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
This is a great way to make sure you are living
a balanced life. If you set your goals into different categories, you're sure to notice
anytime you start to get out of whack or side tracked. You'll always be able to tell (right away) if one aspect of your life is dominating the others or if some people or things are taking up too much of your time and energy. Setting your goals for every aspect of your life is one of the kindest and most considerate things you can do for yourself.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Keep Yourself Going! Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Goal setting is the fun and easy part~the tough part is to keep yourself going, or it used to be. ;) The key here is to find ways to keep yourself as excited, if not more than, when you set them in the first place. Do whatever it takes to keep yourself motivated. You may like affirmations, reading them over and over to yourself or setting little Good Job! rewards or surprises for you when you hit a certain mark in your goals. You may want to reward yourself every few weeks or months or when you've accomplished a certain amount [of your goal]. Really, this works wonders. Who doesn't like being congratulated?!
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ You Can Do It! Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Now, above all, remember that You Can Do It. No, really. If you can think it, you can create it. Now, just remember, some
things will or can take longer or more effort than others, but whatever it is ~ You Can Do It. Keep at it. You Are Worth It. Oh, and, Have Fun!
Happy Goal Setting!
