Goals – Anxiety or Harmony?

Goals

I have used many goal setting techniques through the years and have noticed many of them seem to create much more anxiety than harmony.

Isn’t a goal suppose to help make our life better?

Another thing I have noticed is that the “end result” or better said the lack of the end result is what causes the anxiety.

Recently, I have had the opportunity to set goals in a different way from the methods I used in the past. Using this technique has made my life feel very harmonious!

I have discoverd that many goal setting processes are just a recipe for stress and worry.

I have discovered that a couple of little changes in most of the popular goal setting processes actually make the processes, that were previously miserable to me, enjoyable.

Steps to happier goal setting.

  • When making a  goal, do not make the end result the most important aspect of the goal.
  • Make the actions steps the most enjoyable to you. Make sure you actually enjoy the journey. If you enjoy the action steps, then you already have the essense of the “end result.”

That’s it. You were probably expecting much more, but using these 2 steps is all it took.

Set goals, but make sure the ”journey part” is enjoyable and makes you happy.
