Ready to set some goals? (Chapter 3)
March 10th, 2008The initial impetus to set goals is something for which we seem to have a natural tendency. To some degree we all set them all the time. However, achieving goals – actually seeing them through to completion - would seem to be less innate! When most of us sit down to set ourselves goals, there is a brief surge of energy, enthusiasm and progress before we lose momentum and eventually give up and drift back into our old ways of thinking and behaving.
Perhaps the most familiar example of this is the making of New Year Resolutions. Have you ever made one? Did you keep to it? If ‘Yes’ – Well done! What follows in this chapter may be familiar to you already. If ‘No’ - Take heart! The reason you didn’t succeed is probably attributable to the quality of your goal setting technique rather that the lack of will power you may well have blamed. You probably identified a vague wish or desire without making a firm commitment to action and change. If your resolution didn’t involve action and commitment, it wasn’t a fully formed goal!
