Setting Goals to Become a Newer, Better You
Achieving Your Goals, Once and For All

To become inspired by your goals, so you achieve them, here are some starting points.

1. Why are you setting this goal?

Many times, people set a specific goal too fast.  We set them, not knowing why we set them or what we really want.  You should feel a strong desire about your goal.  If you don’t know what you really want, you will be wasting your time because you wont be committed.  You should feel like you want to do this, not that you have to.  Such as saying, “I want to lose weight,” not, “I have to lose weight.”  Even if it’s for health conscious reasons, that should be an even more reason to increase your motivation so you get healthy faster, not that you have to because the doctor says so. 

2. Make your desire clear

You can have two kinds of goals, personal and professional.  Determine what your goal(s) fall under.  If your goals are made with a strong desire in mind, you may not complete them.  You should feel excited by the possibility of achieving this goal and what the outcome will do for you. 

3. SMART Model

The SMART model was a model created that has helped many people achieve both their personal and professional goals.  SMART is an acronym for:

S = Specific

M= Measurable

A= Attainable

R= Realistic

T= Time based.

Write down your specifications in detail and how you feel about each one.

4. Don’t make your goals impossible to achieve.

Don’t set a time limit to complete your goal because you may become pressured by time or give yourself too much time, which may cause you to slack.  Let go of your judgments, as well as your attachment to the outcome such as looking the way you think you need to look.

Once you let go, you let go of yearning and waiting which frees up your time so you are not attached to a specific outcome but instead are letting the universe deliver.

Use your intuition to inspire you and take action.  Taking action from a place of feeling good is effortless.  Take in new ideas, opportunities, and assistance that you may have not considered before.  You should feel that you are no longer having to do things, and instead wanting to do them or effortlessly achieving your goals. 

If your goals aren’t met then,

Reframe it – maybe you set your goals too high or it wasn’t the right time to strive for them.  Perhaps something came up that took your attention away from being able to achieve them.  Don’t give up, just reframe your goals and achieve them!
