Having a clear goal in mind also helps you plan how best to accomplish your personal goal. For example, say you have decided that ideally you’d like to lose 15 pounds. Now you know the number of pounds you’re aiming at losing and you can set up a realistic time frame for that to be possible.
Don’t make the mistake that many people do of telling themselves they’ll lose that weight in a week, a month or a year. Those goals are both too short and too long. Break the goal of losing 15 pounds down into more manageable chunks that can be done in a week and you’ll be much more likely to get the results you want.
And don’t forget to reward yourself when you meet your goals. No, you don’t have to spend a great deal of money or eat a huge meal that wipes out your calorie allowance for a week. Just take a nice walk or a glass of your favorite wine and celebrate sticking with your plan and meeting your small goals. Doing this ensures you’ll meet your large personal development goal, no matter what that goal may be.
