Setting personal goals require a lot from you simply because achieving goals means success and success does not come so easily. You need to work hard on it, be determined, have faith, know and apply relevant and smart strategies, and so on. You also need to be aware of errors that might hinder you from reaching your goals.So, make sure you avoid the following common mistakes in setting personal goals.
You need to be ambitious but it is practical to start modestly. It is not necessary to come up with goals that are too vague or enormous. It is possible to be overcome by lofty aspirations and quit prematurely without attaining anything. Be aware of possible stumbling blocks so you will know how to cope when these come along unexpectedly.
Be a positive thinker. The struggles may be too heavy to bear if you are easily troubled with negative thoughts. It is important to look at the entire thing from an upbeat perspective. At the same time, makes sure that your objectives are not too general. The general goals can be broken down into profession, family, home, school, physical and spiritual. Establish priorities so you will know which should come first before the other.
Proceed according to stages. This is the purpose of the plan that was mentioned earlier. You need to set your goals in small components complete with the time and date for finishing each phase; the amount of work that has to be done; the details of the plan; and your observations. In other words, your objectives should be broken down in doable steps. If possible write your goal down on a piece of paper or encode the whole plan and save it on your computer. This will serve as your daily reminder of schedules, activities and intentions. Always make this conspicuous so you will never forget your goals.
The likelihood of failure will always haunt you. This can be the result of goal-setting which is too high or very low. Either way, you can only offset this by believing in yourself. Do not adopt the mentality of being afraid to screw up. Everyone commits mistakes but these errors should not bring you down. Keep in mind that the uncertainties of people are often without basis. It does not matter if other people criticize or mock you. The more important thing is to be successful.
Concentrating on Too Few Aspects. Focusing on too many goals is just as ineffective as focusing on too few areas. You see, too much or too little of something is not good. Most people set goals that are only focused on their work, career, or family. Do not neglect some other aspects in your life like things that make you happy; things like learning how to bake your favourite cookie, competing in an amateur bicycle race, or writing a book. In setting personal goals, balance is also important.
