5 Tips to Setting Manageable Goals

Listen Later

This is a bonus episode to acknowledge the new year. We have some tips to share when it comes to setting manageable goals. What better time to share them than the time of new year’s resolutions!

Here's a sneak peek of the 5 tips to Setting Manageable Goals: 

  1. Identify how you currently set goals. What gets in your way about your current process? What works?
  2. Instead of diving right into your goals, try starting with your values. Identify a value that has been present for you lately and THEN come up with a goal that might satisfy it. 
  3. List all of the things you can do to meet this goal. No step is too small. 
  4. Identify what other values might be at play in achieving your goal. Are there any that could get frustrated? Others that might get satisfied?
  5. Notice your thoughts, emotions, and behaviour as you're completing this exercise (and when you're taking steps to achieve this goal). As you’re writing down or imagining your goal, what’s coming up? Use this information to let you know how 'hot' or 'cold' you are in coming up with a goal that you will actually want to achieve. 

    6. Want more? Learn about our Reverse Goal Setting workshop that dives more deeply into this process.
