Perhaps you want to save money, lose weight or learn a new skill. But then you get busy. Before you know it, weeks, then months have gone by, and you are no closer to your goal. When we do not work on our goals, we may end up feeling guilty or not successful. So, how can we work on these larger life goals?Set specific goalsAs you set your goals, be specific. If a goal is too general, it may be hard to achieve.Lets say your goal is to get in better physical shape. Thats a fine ideabut scientists might say as a goal, it is too general. To make the goal more specific, you could say your goal is to lose a certain amount of weight in a certain amount of time.Write your goals downExperts say writing down your goal is a very important step. It gets the goal out of your brain and into the real world.Some scientists suggest that writing a goal on paper is better than typing it on your computer or saying it into your phone. Your brain receives information differently when it comes from handwriting. Writing things down seems to say to the brain, “I am important! Remember me!”Tell a friendTelling someone your goal is also helpful.If someone else knows about your goals, you are held accountable for any progress or lack of progress. Your friend might ask, “So, how many pages of your novel have you written?” If you keep saying “none,” you might feel bad.Break down BIG goals into small onesNot all goals are created equal. Some can be quite big. And for those bigger goals, experts suggest breaking them down into smaller ones.So, lets say you want to work for yourself. You love cooking. So, you decide to start your own company that supplies food for special events. Now, that is a very big goal. But it is made up of many smaller goals. So, identify them, write them down and set time limits for yourself.These suggestions all help to realize your goals. Your way to your goal makes up the weeks, days and hours of your lives. So make sure to have fun along the way!Ways to 41 . your goalsYou may have new goals from time to time. Sometimes you are too42 . to work on it.
