When you struggle to reach your goals, you might be tempted to blame it on alack of self-disciplineor too many obstacles that stood in your way. But, there’s a chance the problem wasn’t a character flaw or even an environmental issue. Instead, the problem might have been the goal itself.
If you don’t establish a clear, helpful goal in the beginning, you’ll set yourself up for failure.
Most of us weren’t ever taughthow to set goals. In fact, we were likely pressured to set an annual resolution but weren’t taught how to create short-term goals for ourselves.
Creating goals for yourself is a great way to establish a happier, healthier life. When you’re working on something, you’ll feel better about yourself. And you’ll be more likely to endure the short-term pain associated with reaching a goal that can lead to long-term satisfaction.
So whether you want to get in better shape,pay off your debt, become a happier person, or launch your own business, start with a good goal. The way you word that goal makes a huge difference.
In today’s Friday Fix, I explain how to avoid the most common goal-setting mistakes I see as a therapist. And I’ll help you craft a goal that increases yourchances of success.
