So, have you taken time to reflect on the past year, yet? Now it's time to write some goals for 2011. If you looked back at 2010 and realized you didn't do anything to achieve any of your goals or you have struggled but wasn't able to reach it, then maybe you should set them a little smaller for 2011 so that you can achieve some of them if not all. If you achieved all your goals, then you might want to think even bigger this year and stretch yourself to create even more for yourself. One way of doing this is to write a commitment goal and a stretch goal. Write a goal that you are absolutely committed to achieving and will do whatever it takes to get there. Be realistic with yourself. You want to hit this goal. Then, take the same goal and create a bit of a stretch. For instance... I am absolutely committed to fitting into my size 10 jeans by 10 March, 2011. My stretch goal: I will be in my size 8 jeans by 10 March 2011. Make sense? You can do that with all your goals. Write your goals down and put them somewhere that you will see them. Make sure you re-visit your goals so that you have a clear path of where you are heading. Sometime we forget about the goal altogether and that makes it pretty hard to achieve it. Have fun with this! Think big and play lots. This is your life, make it what you want to. If you have struggled in the past to reach your goals or if you always reach your goals, then you absolutely must read this post so you can get even more clear on how to write achievable goals.
