How to set goals correctly?

Competent setting and correct styling of goals in your head are crucial.

  • Goals should be set
    This is the basic concept in the issue of conscious change.

Yes, you can live without goals. True, it will always be with the caveat that you are simply not aware of them. But to create yourself anew without specific goals will not work. It's impossible to live by your own mind without personally chosen landmarks.

Life without a goal does not exist. Our body is programmed for survival, nutrition, reproduction, pleasure. Let him go - and it will fulfill this plan, to the best of its capabilities. And there is also a weighty social aspect that requires adjustment in one degree or another of conformity, whether you are a manager in a capital bank or a person with long dreadlocks on the shores of the Andaman Sea, otherwise all the hippies would not be as synchronous as each other bank employees.

  • Specify, leaving a place for spontaneity
    The goal should be specific, measurable in time, adequate.

She should effortlessly turn into a paragraph of details and shrink to a couple of words of the very essence. This ensures your clear understanding of what you want, and protects from the sinister "be afraid of your desires", which flows solely from self-misunderstanding.
The specification is very important, but it must be flexible, leaving room for options without loss of form.

  • In the beginning - only "short" goals
    At the start it's almost impossible to see the real scale and details of the action. You can fantasize about "in 5-10 years" as much as you like, but no one will believe you, and first of all - your own mind. He will be the main brake on the way to such goals. It triggers an automatic "stop-cock" every time the owner wants to spend an unreasonable amount of energy. You may not even understand that it was you who did not let you go on such a wonderful journey of your ambitions.
    For realistically achievable goals, a dense bundle with reality is needed.

  • Any goal should be intermediate
    And this is the salt.

The problem of the "main", "main" and "important" goal concerns the so-called "big" and "long" personal projects. No one considers his "lose weight" or "buy a car" as an extremely serious life guide, but real estate issues, building a family, businesses, big money, big projects, the birth of children are often put on a pedestal, extending the road to them at least twice, and sometimes at all distancing from the field of realization.

And you can not call your aspirations goals, do not write them down on paper, do not specify, you can think that you do not have goals, but one solid desire, backed by a pinch of desire, is enough for you to live in "the main goal of all life" although without a corresponding label.

Putting any goal, especially this is important in matters of "big" and "long" goals, always be aware of your next stage. Not fantasy, not through imagination - and already drawing a little the image of another, more ambitious goal. While wide strokes. This is not a plan in a specific production, not a "long" goal, but it is not even an amorphous dream. There is a connection with the next stage, you know that where you go is not the end, however far it may be.

In the process of moving, focus only on the goal, do not distract your attention, but know this connection - this will be enough. It forms a path that extends far beyond your current feasible intentions.
