WHAT IS GOAL SETTING?
Goals are just pathways for your dreams to come true; goal setting is making commitments to achieve your goals. These goals can be personal growth, career, relationship, financial, or professional goals. It is not only about setting goals but also about achieving them.
My experiential tip for goal setting is not setting realistic goals but staying honest with yourself. As it is said, am I? It’s always better to be uncomfortable with the truth rather than be comfortable with the lies. Having goals that you cannot achieve will bring you nothing but regret.
Moreover, ask yourself why you want to set this goal. What is your motive? How will it help you to achieve your dream? What inspires you to achieve this goal? What will you do with your goals if you’re in your bad times?
HOW TO SET GOALS?
Are you a goal crusher? What makes a person a suitable goal crusher? A suitable goal crusher makes SMART goals. SMART goals don’t require a lot of knowledge but a simple following plan can make them possible.
1S- SPECIFIC: Setting generalized goals is a waste of time. It would help if you were specific about your goals, such as if I will wake up early in the morning at six rather than if I wake up early. Having particular goals will help you stick to them and avoid finding ways to escape them.
2. M-MEASURABLE: Always quantify your goals. I know you’re not materialistic, but it is essential here. Measuring your goals is truly important for tracking your performance. It also reflects how much you have completed vs. how much you must do.
3. A-attainable: Having attainable goals is as essential as being determined. Achievable goals should also be realistic. Suppose you’re a night owl and set an unrealistic goal of waking up early the next day. The next day, you will be filled with regret and disappointment if you don’t wake up at the desired time. Setting unrealistic goals is just lying and putting everything in vain.
4. R-RELAVENT: Make sure your goals are relevant according to your lifestyle, values, and life. When you set relevant goals and achieve them, you tend to become more confident and motivated to set and achieve bigger goals in life.
5. T-TIME BOUND: Lastly, you have to make goals with a deadline. This means that you’re working within a time frame that encourages you to be better within that time limit. Moreover, if unrealistic goals can harm your mindset, so do unrealistic deadlines.
Wait, This is not the end. Here are some helpful tips to set your goals and crush them.

Remember to write your goals in a notebook hidden in your house. Make your goals visible because it will subconsciously affect your brain to make them happen when you consistently see or narrate them. You can stick notes on your fridge or bathroom mirror so you’re in touch with your daily goals. But don’t remember to remove these notes when you’re expecting a guest.
5. VISUALISATION
Visualization plays a vital role in manifesting your dreams. Spare 10 minutes in your morning and night routine to recite and visualize your goals. Think and feel that your goals are already achieved and you’re living your dream. Act like it, but don’t remember to work on them. Manifestation and visualization only work when you have the energy to execute them and make them happen.
6. MAKE YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE
Accountability is an essential part when it comes to setting goals and crushing them. Long-term goals can feel overwhelming and complex when it comes to action. Make sure that you share your goals with a person who is genuinely yours, either your parents or your friends. When They regularly check upon you, and if you’re not doing anything, it will make you feel ashamed and work upon them rather than making excuses.
7. YOUR GOALS SHOULD BE REALISTIC
Unrealistic goals are the same as reaching a destination without a map. Setting unrealistic goals brings disappointment, regret, frustration, self-doubt, and more. Six months back, I used to set unrealistic goals and ended up losing my self-confidence and gaining insecurities. Setting and achieving smaller goals is a practical way in the long run.
8. ENCOUNTER THE POSSIBLE OBSTACLES
Sit down and write down all the possible factors that might influence your goals, i.e., your distractions. Encountering your early distractions will help you identify them and stay consistent. Keeping your phone aside or decluttering your desk can help you stay positive and determined toward your goals.
9. BE FLEXIBLE
You don’t have to stick to the plan even if things aren’t working out according to the plan. Take some breaks and analyze the facts and figures that work for you. If not, change them, but ensure your end goal remains the same. Stay consistent, dedicated, and hard-working; everything will eventually, work out in your favor.
