Today, we’re talking about the ‘G’ word!
Yep, setting Goals. With a capital ‘G’.
If you are like me, setting goals is not so hard, it’s accomplishing them that is tough.
I love setting goals. They are like writing lists to me and I’m a list maker. Going down my list and checking each item off is such a big thrill to me. I feel such satisfaction and accomplishment at the end of the day. It makes my life easy in so many ways.
But goals, not so much.
It seemed every time I set a goal, the Goal Trolls clap their hands in glee and with an atrocious maniacal laugh set about to thwart me in ways that make it impossible to complete them.
{{sigh}}
So how does one beat them at their own game?
Set. Your. Goals.
You heard me.
And it’s okay to start small. When you reach those tiny ones, you will be surprised how good it feels and will become excited to set others. Maybe the next one will be a bit bigger. And soon, those Trolls will find someone else to pick on.
To make it a little more exciting – Issue yourself a challenge. It doesn’t have to be an expensive challenge or even a monetary one. And it doesn’t have to include anyone else but YOU to do it.
Just fill in the blanks. If I accomplish (goal)________ by (time frame)_________ then I get (reward)________.
And no cheating. No accomplishment, no reward.
Back at ya next time!
