When we eventually fail to achieve those goals, we can end up feeling worse about ourselves. Goal setting is such a personal thing. There are key elements to setting goals that will help you achieve them and stick to them - from reflection, prioritisation to execution and self-motivation. Here are our top tips for effective goal setting in all areas of your life.
Put Your Health First
Whether you are looking to lose weight or want to be more active, fitness goals are vital. They will hold you accountable and encourage you to keep going. But figuring out how to set goals you'll actually stick to is the hardest part.
- Make your goals measurable, specific, and time-bound.
- Focus on one goal at a time.
- Always remember "results don't happen overnight."
- Develop smaller goals on the way to your main goal.
- Make sure you have a strong support system.
