Goal Setting & Goal Getting

This month we will be looking at some new research on goal setting and goal getting.  For this week, consider a couple of goals you have been struggling with and which seem especially difficult to accomplish. Here are some examples:

• Lose weight  
• Become more fit 
• Clean up my office, garage, etc.

Next think about what might be sabotaging these goals. Consider:   

• What you believe about the goals (“It’s too hard to accomplish,” or “I don’t have the time”)
• The goal is not specific enough (“I would like to earn more money,” I would like more vacation time”)
• The timing of the goals (“It’s too late, now,” “This wouldn’t be a good time to start”)
• You have lost energy or focus on the goal (“I’m not sure I really want it,” “I don’t know what I really want”)
• It seems as though you have no will power to change (“I’m just a wimp,” I get so far and then I lose it…”)
