Setting achievable goals is essential for progress from "summary" of Eat Move Sleep by Tom Rath
When we think about making progress in our health and well-being, it can be tempting to set big, audacious goals. We want to see significant changes and improvements, and we want to see them quickly. But the truth is, setting goals that are too ambitious can actually hinder our progress rather than help it. When we set goals that are too lofty or unrealistic, we set ourselves up for failure. And when we fail to meet those goals, it can be discouraging and demotivating. That's why it's so important to set achievable goals that are within reach. Setting achievable goals allows us to make steady progress over time. By setting small, manageable goals, we can build momentum and confidence as we work towards larger objectives. When we achieve these smaller goals, we experience a sense of accomplishment that propels us forward. It's a positive feedback loop that keeps us motivated and engaged in our journey towards better health. In addition to helping us make progress, setting achievable goals also helps us stay consistent in our efforts. When we have clear, realistic goals in place, we have a roadmap to follow. We know what we need to do each day to move closer to our objectives. This consistency is key to long-term success. It's the small, daily actions that add up to big results over time. By setting achievable goals, we can establish healthy habits that become ingrained in our daily routine.- Setting achievable goals is not about settling for mediocrity. It's about setting ourselves up for success. By setting goals that are within reach, we can make steady progress, stay consistent in our efforts, and build momentum towards larger objectives. It's a strategy that sets us up for long-term success in our journey towards better health and well-being.
