So if you are inspired - here are some ways to set your goals;
If you
have never set inspiring goals before, or lost yours along the way, here are 7
simple steps to get you started;
1. Set
SMART Goals -
specific, measurable, attainable, resonant and thrilling.
2.
Visualize how it will feel when you achieve your goal. Imagine in great detail using
all your senses, the experience of achieving your goal.
3.
Stretch yourself by setting big and audacious goals. Don't be afraid to dream.
Whatever sends shivers down your spine, or keeps you awake with excitement -
these are goals worth achieving.
4. Get
support. You
cannot do it alone. Ask for help from friends, your partner or even a
professional.
5. Break
it down into manageable steps. See the big picture, but focus on what is in front
of you. Looking at the end result can be daunting. Take it day by day and you
will get there.
6. Have
fun. Enjoy
the journey as well as the destination. Don't be a misery to be around, have
fun along the way.
7. Be
kind to yourself. You will
stumble and it's OK. Get up and try again, and again, and again. Achieving
goals take persistence.
