How to Achieve your Goals?

Goal setting is one of the most commonly used techniques in sport, business, and everyday life. In fact, of all the skills we discuss in this class, goal setting is likely the one you have utilized the most in your life. While using goal setting is an important step to success, it is critical to apply effective goal-setting techniques if you want to maximize your results

There are Objective goals and there are Subjective goals. Objective goals are very specific, clearly defined goals that leave no room for interpretation. In other words, when evaluating an objective goal, it is easy to see whether or not the goal was met. On the other hand, Subjective goals are general statements that are difficult to measure or define and are up to interpretation. Based on these definitions, objective goals are much more effective than subjective goals, and, as such, we should be careful to make sure all of our goals are objective.

There are 4 steps to goal setting. This can work as you try to adopt a new lifestyle or in any area of your life. 

Step 1: Create small steps

• The first step towards accomplishing any goal is figuring out the little actions you need to take to get there. Doing small steps everyday to reach your goal will help you reach your goal.

Step 2: Set SMART goals

• Make sure your objectives are S.M.A.R.T. once you’ve determined the tiny actions you need to take to reach them.

• Specific

• Measurable

• Attainable

• Realistic

• Time based

Step 3: Set goal-achievement strategies.

• Position yourself toward success by making it easier to achieve your goals. Purchasing nutritious recipes, purchasing jogging gear, or signing up for a gym are a few examples of goal-achievement techniques.

Step 4: Get ready for obstacles

• Identifying any obstacles that might prevent you from reaching your goals is the last phase in goal setting. By recognizing these mines, you may create plans to stay away of them, which can stop a relapse.
