🏃♀️Stop running in circles
and increase your feelings of self-esteem, self-confidence, and autonomy
Good morning,
Sometimes does it feels like you are just running around in circles and don't have time for anything else? You feel like you have too much to do and not enough time to do it. You’re constantly being pulled in different directions and it's hard to stay focused.
I can tell you from personal experience that if you are feeling like that, goal setting can be a really helpful way to get organised, get focused and take control of the direction of your life. Since I made a change in 2015 and got serious about my goal setting I have managed to achieve much more than I would have thought possible.
Goal setting isn't just something that businesses do. It's something that we can all benefit from in our personal lives. In this post on the blog - Goal setting to get organised, I do a deep dive into the science behind goal setting, some of my personal experiences with goal setting, and how it has helped me get organised and keep building momentum in my life.
But for those of you who want the summary version - here it is!
Setting a goal helps to sustain momentum in life. Once you achieve one goal, it can give you the motivation to set and achieve new ones. Studies have shown that those who set goals are more likely to achieve them and have greater success.
A goal provides focus and clarity. When you have a goal, you know what you're working towards. This can help trigger new behaviours and change where you are spending your time. For example, if your goal is to eat healthier, you might start cooking more meals at home.
Goal setting provides accountability. When you write down your goal and place it somewhere visible or tell people about your goal, they can help hold you accountable. You're more likely to stick to your goal if you know others are aware of it.
Setting a goal also assists in better decision-making. If you have a goal in mind, you can make decisions based on whether or not they help you achieve that goal. This can help you stay on track, avoid distractions and make difficult decisions on where you can spend your limited time.
If you’re feeling stressed and disorganised, and have been feeling this way for a while, or if you have tried getting organised previously, managed it for a little while but couldn’t stick with it, now is the perfect time to set a goal and get organised. Goal setting can not only have a huge impact on what you achieve but it also helps increase self-esteem, self-confidence, and feelings of autonomy.
Setting an effective goal can be challenging but the first lesson in my e-course Planned + Present is all about goal setting and takes you step by step through my simple process. It doesn’t use the standard SMART method but it uses a method that fits more easily into the lives of busy mums. And I share many examples of goals that other mums have set and achieved with great success.
