How to set your goal ? Setting goals and achieving them is a mindset that will help you achieve success, in both your personal and professional life. As parents teach your kids about strategies to set goals and achieve them.
On your mark. Get set goal!
You are feeling fully motivated. You are sure that you will be able to overcome challenges and come out on tops. But, before all this self-talk, the first thing that you need to do is to set a goal. It could be in terms of improving your grasp over certain subjects, or getting a certain grade in your exams, or some sports related goal, etc. Write it down and paste it somewhere in your room, where you can clearly see it. Let it motivate you day in and day out.
One step at a time
One of the best way to achieve targets is by dividing them into smaller ones. Sometimes a big goal may make you feel overwhelmed. Instead, if you were to do things in a step by step process, it does make it feel easy. For example, if you want to secure top grade in Biology, then do it one step at a time. Set small targets. You can divide the different topics in the subject and test yourself in each successive topic, every weekend. This approach will also help you measure your success.
Set realistic goals
This is another important part of goal setting. Don’t set a goal that gets you all bogged down, instead of driving you forward. Do an honest analysis of your abilities. Identify your strengths and weaknesses and then set a goal.
Have patience
Rome was not built in a day. Always look at the bigger picture. Yes, there will be obstacles in the way of achieving a goal. But you need to program your mind to accept these failures and use them as the stepping stones to success. With patience, Practice does make perfect !
Remember your past successes
Don’t underestimate the power of the written word. Write down all that you did to achieve success in the past. Did you seek the help of your teachers or friends to study? Did you go through any special notes or books? What was the time that you allotted for your studies? Just jog your memory and jot down key points. The answers can help you plan the right strategy, this time around too.
Enjoy the process
Whatever maybe the goal that you want to attain, make sure that you enjoy the process of attaining it, for otherwise it may feel a burden. The key lies in wholeheartedly putting in the effort. For example, if you want to excel in academics, study well, seek help from others or use tools like online resources, wherever necessary. While doing all this enjoy every moment of the journey towards the goal.
