Goal Setting Is Not Only Once-A-Day Affair

In my last post, I mentioned that we should set goal clearly and do it daily. Now, the question is, when is the best time in a day? Of course, the answer is in the morning. However, it should not be just anytime in the morning; it should be first thing in the morning! Yes! The first thing when you wake up, instead of brushing your teeth, you should rush to your desk, and start writing your daily goal!
I mentioned in my other posting that there are long-term goal and short-term goal (which for me I called it as daily goal). It is this daily goal that you need to write down everyday! It is important so that you are aware of your daily activities are geared and swift towards it. On top, in the morning, when you just awake, your Alpha wave is at its most active period and according to many scientists' researches, Alpha wave is presence when a person is engaging into his superb learning mode!

Have you ever experienced, when you were young (or maybe you still doing it now), rushing to study as much as possible only at the night just before a test or examination, trying to utilise and grasp as much as you could; and unfortunately, those you studied earlier, usually tend to be forgotten and seems that they were never ever be a way to register in your mind, however, those that you had studied while you were almost dozed off, surprisingly, can be recalled easily during the exam! Did you ever asked yourself, did I really come across this subject? Why is it so? The answer is because of Alpha wave, which begin to sync in just when you doze off!

What I'm drifting here, it is important to write down your goal in the first thing in the morning, so that you can leverage on your morning Alpha wave which present in your just awaken brain so that you can subconsciously register it and deeply root it into your brain.

Alpha wave also present during at night just before you doze off. So you should also write down your daily goal at night, just before you turn for the bed! This action not only help you to review your day time activities if it gel with your daily goal, but also, help you to register again better, leveraging again on the alpha wave to sink into yourself about your daily goal!

Goal setting is like sharpening a knife. The more you sharpened it, the sharper it will be! Thus, best time to set goal is in the morning, first thing in the morning. And for best result, set again just before you doze off!

Try it! You will be amazed of the result and your goals begin to fall in place. You will be more aware of your behavior towards your daily activities. If it does not work, it's OK! You will not lose anything! But what if it works? You are in no lost situation! So, just do it!

Goal Setting Cuts Stress in Your Life

Just how many of us really set realistic goals in our life? Goal setting is a good idea for any person. They could cut out being so disorganized in their life. When any one sets daily goals they quickly realize that their day would run smoothly and not have as many mishaps that makes you have a lot of stress from something not going just right and running out of time try to get it done.

When some set goals in their life it might not be because they want to it may just be because they have to, so they do not have lots of chaos in their life. This group of people may even need to write down when they are to arrive at the grocery store to do the shopping and even how long it is to take in the store. Some people just need that organization in their life to live freely and peacefully.

When you set goals for the day and have them out for everyone too see them you will notice that if you have kids they will soon start to fallow them, with a little help. After a while you would end up noticing that the kids have set their own goals that they would like to achieve in their daily life.

One example is that they set the time to get up, brush their teeth, get a bath for bed, and even go to bed. That does not include the time at school and any other chores or tasks that they would want to put in there on their own.

Really every one needs to set a life goal and work hard to achieve the goals that you set for yourself or your family.

One thing that you need to think about when you set the goals in your life is that you need to make sure that you do not set goals that are completely out of reach and are too hard for you to accomplish. Some of the goals that an adult could set for himself or herself are better schooling, better position in the work force, or even working toward a promotion.

Setting Career Goals

Setting a career goal or objective is a personal challenge a person makes to himself or herself within a limited period by setting deadlines. The most successful people are usually ones that have set career goals for themselves. They know what they want to do, and work and plan towards achieving those results. It is never too early or too late to start setting career goals and working towards them.
Difficulties in setting goals

One of the most difficult issues in setting a career goal is recognizing exactly what a person wants. Even after they have a career goal chosen, often there are still doubts in their mind about the choices they make. Determining exactly what an individual wants is the most important decision they make in goal setting and career planning.

Understand that it is very common when setting career goals to have times in their career path where people are not sure about the goals and choices they have selected. Even extremely successful individuals feel this way occasionally.

These feelings often come and go. Sometimes, when an individual has to face a huge obstacle on their career path, it can be overwhelming and make them question their choices. Once the individual has dealt with this challenge, everything seems on course again. This is a test of his or her perseverance and is not a career goal problem. It is a problem when these doubts persist or are always in the back of their minds.

If this seems to be the case, study the career choice and carefully rethink the career objectives. Sometimes we make a career choice in high school such as cooking. When we take Chef Training in college, it may not be what we are still interested in or no longer have a passion for.


Simplifying the process

Here are a few steps that can help you realize your career goals and maintain your goals once you have achieved them.

1. List - It is very important for anyone who desires to set and then achieve their career goals, to write their plans down so they are in black and white. When written down, ideas are much more real on paper than ones kept in our heads. It is very easy to forget or put aside goals that we talk about or think about but are not on paper.

2. Visualize - Daydream and think about your goals. If you want to be a top salesperson in a large company within the next three years, imagine ways to make this goal a reality. Also, visualize about the responsibility and work you will acquire once the position is obtained.

3. The Right People - Surround yourself with people that believe in you and are positive about your ability to achieve your career goals. People that believe you can succeed at anything will reinforce that anything is possible with determination and hard work.

Make your goals a part of your lifestyle and constantly work towards achieving them.
