It’s a new year and a new decade! What do you want to create in this new year? Not sure where to start? How about with just three main goals?
They can be around your health or wellness routines, family or friends, travel desires, career ambitions or anything else your heart desires! The common denominator is how you plan and follow through, no matter how small or elaborate your vision is.
Now that you have your three main goals set, how will you achieve them? Here is where you need to give some genuine thought to them. This is more than just creating action items; it is about identifying motivators, determining behaviors, setting targets and creating accountability measures that will make your goals more than a flippant resolution.
Follow these guidelines for a solid goal-achieving plan of success. Write your goals out on a piece of paper and leave room to make notes on the following:
1. Define your goal. What is it you truly want to accomplish this year?
2. Identify motivators. Why this goal is important to you? What is motivating you? How will this make you feel?
3. Determine behaviors. What behaviors of yours need to change (or be embraced) to support this goal? Who do you need to be to accept that you are worthy of achieving this goal? Talk yourself through it.
4. Set targets. When would you like to achieve this goal by? Be specific, yet flexible. Not everything comes when we want it, but setting a deadline will help you take action plans and measure progress along the way. It’s fine to revise as you go along, but give yourself a starting point.
5. Take action. What are 3 concrete steps you can take now towards achieving your goal? It does not matter how little or big they are; the important thing is that you keep moving forward.
6. Create accountability. How will you measure you progress? When will you measure it? Who can you rely on to perhaps support you in your journey to help keep you accountable?
Ready for a 2020 year of success??
