Five Facts about Goal Setting

These practical tips on goal setting can help make it easier to set and reach goals:

1. When it comes to making a change, the people who succeed are those who set goals possible to achieve. “I’m going to recycle all my plastic bottles, soda cants, and magazines” is a

much more doable goal than “ I’m going to do more for the environment.” And that makes it easier to stick with.

2. It will probably take a couple of months before any changes —like getting up half an hour earlier to exercise —become a routine(日常的) part of your life. That’s because your brain needs time to get used to the idea that this new thing you’re doing is part of your regular routine.

3. Say your goal out loud each morning to remind yourself of what you want and what you’re working for. Every time you remind yourself of your goal, you’re training your brain to make it happen.

4. The key to making any change is to find the strong wish within yourself —you have to do it because you want it, not because a girlfriend, boyfriend, coach, parent, or someone else wants you to. It will be harder to stay on track and encouraged if you’re doing something out of duty to another person.

5. Mistakes are actually part of the learning process as you retrain your brain into a new way of thinking. It may take a few tries to reach a goal. But that’s OK—it’s a normal to mess up or give up a few times when trying to make a change. So remember that everyone makes mistakes and don’t beat yourself up about it. Just remind yourself to get back on track.

A. Making mistakes doesn’t mean failure.

B. It takes time form a habit.

C. Bad habits are hard to give up.

D. Repeating a goal makes it stick.

E. Specific, realistic goals work best.

F. Pleasing other people doesn’t work.
