Setting and achieving personal goals

 

 

 

1. Pick a goal that is realistic and possible for you to accomplish within a reasonable amount of time.

 

2. Pick a goal that is manageable, that you can break down into a series of small steps.

 

3. Pick a goal that is measurable so you can tell weather you have achieved it, or how much further you have to improve before you do.

 

4. Pick a goal that is meaningful to you. Pick something that you really want to do rather than something you feel you should do.

 

5. Have a positive attitude. Believe in yourself and your ability to reach the goal you set for yourself.

 

6. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. It's all part of the learning process toward your goal.

 

7. If you don't reach a particular goal, don't think of it as failure. Think of it as a learning experience, as a step toward achieving your goal. Identify what went wrong and correct it.

 

8. Praise and reward yourself for any progress you have made.

 

9. Identify any areas that need further improvement and work on them with confidence and determination.

 

10. Use your imagination. Spend some time each day "seeing" yourself achieving your goal.
