- Boosting people’s self-discipline.
- Continuously directing people’s attention toward their priorities.
- Ignite significant action.
- Bring focus and behavior into alignment.
- Maintain momentum, even through challenges and obstacles.
Varying the Target
When people utilize goals well in their life, they often aim at various targets. Some goals might be serious and significantly challenges. Others might be for fun, relaxation, or refreshment. Examples of the different kinds of goals that can be set include goals about one’s…
- Attitude: What kind of character do you want to build? Who do you want to be?
- Career: Is there a particular type of job or career you want to pursue now? What could you career look like in five years?
- Finances: What type of lifestyle do you want to sustain? Do you want work part time? Travel? Live debt free?
- Physical strength: What health changes would improve your quality of life?
- Fun: When are you most happy? What puts a smile on your face?
- Family: What kind of family do you want? Do you want to be single? Married with kids? Married without kids? What kinds of relationships do you want to build with your extended family?
- Education: What can you explore and research? Is there a skill or a hobby you want to grow?
- Artistic growth: Would you enjoy learning how to paint? Making time to practice the flute?
Far from bringing boredom and misery into people’s lives, setting and achieving various goals in all spheres of life can be exciting and fulfilling.
The Goal’s Form
Excellent goals come from within an individual’s skills, values, and talents. This is one of the ways that counselors and life coaches assist people in setting and achieving healthy goals. Mental health professionals help often guide people toward self-awareness.
The details of each goal will be deeply personal, but the form that goals take is not unique. In fact, most healthy goals have similar characteristics in how they are formed. Well-formed goals are often…
- Shared: Tell people who will be supportive of your goals—either through tangible help or through encouragement.
- Written: People often take documented goals more seriously. They can also revisit goals that are written instead of spoken.
- Specific: The more details there are to a goal, the better. For example, “becoming healthier” is a vague goal, but “eating three fruits of a day” is a specific, measurable goal.
- Time-bound: Individual goals should have deadline. The deadline could be within the day, in a week, in a year, in five years, or more. The important aspect is setting a timeframe.
