SuprAffs: Goal Setting
I LIKE it when I renew my commitment daily to developing a habit of setting and reaching goals.
I LIKE it when I break my goals down into small, manageable parts.
I LIKE it when I prioritize my goals daily. (This keeps me from feeling overwhelmed and trying to do to much).
I LIKE it when I set new goals periodically. (It gives me a sense of purpose and optimism).
I LIKE having a "written list" of goals that I can switch back and forth to when tiring of any one task.
I LIKE it when I "visualize" my goals daily. (This can be in the form of drawings, vision boards or purposeful meditation).
I LIKE it when I talk about my goals with others. (Studies show it increases my chance of success).
I LIKE it when I create "social accountability" for my goals. (Research shows it increases my chances of success).
I LIKE making my goals as "emotional" as possible. (Studies show those set with "vigor and excitement" are best).
I LIKE focusing on the essentials in my life rather than having too many goals.
I LIKE checking my To-Do-List daily. (It keeps me on track with accomplishing my goals).
I LIKE stating my goals in positive terms rather than negative one. (It helps to read back each goal and see if it sounds positive).
I LIKE asking my self is this new goal "realistic" (or am I just trying to meet someone else's standards, etc..)
I LIKE continually "raising the bar" on my goals by reviewing them frequently. (It's very easy to stay at a certain level without this habit).
I LIKE recording nightly any progress I have made towards my goals. (It motivates me to continue striving to achieve my objectives).
I LIKE being "mentally prepared" to shift my goals if it becomes apparent my current ones are not working.
I LIKE it when I share my "eliminate this" goal(s) with others. (It gives me more incentive to have the support of friends, relatives, co-workers, etc.).
I LIKE it when I shift my focus from possible loss to potential success when taking a calculated risk.
