How to Set Goals

Your goals should be definite and challenging.  Proper goal setting will both challenge you and give you a feeling of accomplishment when you attain them.  Also, you should feel free to modify your goals if necessary.

Remember on goal setting to stick to the positives rather than the negatives.  Always focus on what you want to do rather than on what you want to avoid doing.  This keeps you focused on success rather than on avoiding failure.

Your Goals should be:

  • Specific in nature
  • Challenging but realistic
  • Short term
  • Measurable on a day by day basis
  • Positive in nature
