Yesterday, I talked about goal setting, the importance of keeping yourself accountable, and how your plan must always be re-evaluated. To read yesterday's blog: Click here.
Today, I wanted to talk a little bit more on the importance of having a plan.
Plans are what turn our wishes into goals. And goals are what help us achieve our dreams.
In the world of therapy/counseling, practitioners refer to goal-setting as a "Treatment Plan."
A treatment plan starts with a main goal. It then outlines the steps necessary to achieve that goal. In addition, it defines the responsible parties for each task. Finally, it outlines dates that each task should completed. All great treatment plans are flexible, and change based on the needs of the client. That is, they are constantly evaluated to make sure that they are consistent with the client's needs.
It sounds simple, and that is because it is. I think sometimes we make things harder than they need to be. And the reason is that: Life is hard. And life being hard, makes everything else hard. Including our goals.
The likelihood of goals becoming realized, increases when a person commits to doing something each day to honor their main goal.
What are you doing each day to honor your goal? If you are not doing anything, start. Carve out five minutes a day to work on your goal. Work up to the point where you are honoring that goal at least 15 minutes a day. 15 minutes a day is just 1% of your entire day. Your goal is worth 1% of your time. If not, then it is not a goal of yours...it is just a wish.
Wishes are wonderful. They make us dream of things to come. However, wishes can only become goals when plans are attached to them and followed through with.
Make your wish become a reality. By creating a plan. Having a plan, IS the plan.
If you have a wish that you need help turning into a goal, please let me know. I'm here to help. My goal is to help while motivate others with this blog.
Cheers to a New Year and Turning our Wishes into Goals,
Miss Oakley
