Goal Setting Tip Sheet<\/h2>\n

\u201cA goal without a plan is a wish\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0– Antoine de Saint-Exupery<\/p>\n

So, you have set a goal that sits just outside your comfort zone?<\/p>\n

It will force to stretch and reach – to expand your knowledge, understandings and skills.<\/p>\n

A goal creates both challenge and reward. The challenge to demonstrate goal directed behaviours that promote goal achievement, and the reward that comes with them.<\/p>\n

So, what goal directed behaviours (actions) will you demonstrate to achieve your goal? What\u2019s the first step you will take, and the next, and the next\u2026.?<\/p>\n

Breaking a goal down into what is \u201cdoable\u201d and actionable is critical to ensuring its achievement. This process moves a goal from theory to practice \u2013 from thinking to doing.<\/p>\n

It also builds self-efficacy, self-determination and self-regulation through promoting progress towards goal achievement – creating a virtuous cycle of self-development.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The journey towards goal attainment starts with small, incremental steps that can be sustained over time.<\/p>\n

Trying to do too much in a short time frame is unsustainable and risks burnout, resulting in feelings of failure.<\/p>\n

Incremental and steady progress towards a goal achievement increases commitment, persistence and feelings of success.<\/p>\n

What is your goal? What is your first step to achieve your goal, and the next, and the next\u2026?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
