Should we really write our goals down?

What is the benefit of writing your goals down where you can view them each day?

For me, it provides a constant reminder of what I am working towards and the commitment I have made to accomplish my goals.

Are your goals REAL in your mind?

I love this short clip from Tony Robbins around a key step in goal setting.
 
He shares a point that if we can create our goals and make them so REAL in our minds…we will start to feel the emotions of actually achieving them.
 
Once this happens something clicks inside of us, and we start doing the work, making the plan, and committing ourselves to achieving the goals.
 
How can this principle assist you in building your life today?
 

Goal setting!!!

December is a great month to think about and plan for how we want to finish the year and how we want to start the new year. As we start a new month, I would love to get your thoughts and share ideas around goal setting.

What are your goals and plans for giving your very best in December?

Why You Should Avoid Making New Year’s Resolutions

I love the thoughts from this post!

How often do we set goals based on “fear”? I know that I have been guilty of this in the past.

My favorite part of this post is:

“Because if they were ready to make a real life change, one in which they’ve mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically determined there is no alternative than living the life they want on their terms. If they’d visualized themselves living this life to the point they can smell, hear, taste and feel what it would be like to live this way. If they’d written their plan and posted it for all to see while making a declaration that they will achieve this life. If they’d burned the boats and took one immediate step to their goal’s fulfillment, then they wouldn’t have voluntarily waited until January 1 to begin.”

I have always set new years resolutions, and I have set them out of fear in the past.  Over the last few years I have taken the approach that is outlined in this post and have found a tremendous difference in sustaining and achieving the goals I set for myself.

New Year's Resolution blog photo

Hello all. Following my first extended vacation following 19 years of post-college work, I’m back with a best life practice that couldn’t be more applicable.

Now that 2015 is upon us, you may have decided to partake in one of society’s oldest and most fruitless endeavors – New Year’s resolutions.

“I’m going to get in the gym!”

“I’m going to read more books!”

“I’m going to stop smoking/drinking!”

Not to sound like Ebenezer Scrooge, but I say bah humbug to all of it.

As we’ve discussed, deciding to make a real life change takes more than just reacting to an emotional impulse such as guilt. And that’s far too often exactly what a New Year’s resolution is.

We incur a sense of guilt over partaking in an unhealthy lifestyle – whether it’s eating, exercising, our relationships, our personal development …

And that’s why we view January 1 as such an optimal…

Don’t quit on your goals

Choose your goal and keep your eye on it. Never give up.

Perhaps you will need to change your plan and approach you goal from a different direction

but don’t quit.

Keep thinking. Keep re-planning. Keep going.  – Jonathan Lockwood Huie
