Set realistic goals and boundaries for success from "summary" of The Healthy Mind Toolkit by Alice Boyes,PhD
When it comes to achieving success, it's important to set goals that are both challenging and achievable. This means striking a balance between aiming too high and setting the bar too low. Setting realistic goals is key to maintaining motivation and making progress. Unrealistic goals can lead to feelings of failure and discouragement, while overly easy goals may not provide the sense of accomplishment needed to stay motivated. In addition to setting realistic goals, it's important to establish boundaries to protect your well-being and prevent burnout. Boundaries can take many forms, such as setting limits on work hours, saying no to additional responsibilities, or establishing boundaries in personal relationships. By setting boundaries, you are not only protecting your own mental health but also setting yourself up for long-term success. Setting goals and boundaries requires self-awareness and self-reflection. Take the time to consider what is truly important to you and what you want to achieve in both your personal and professional life. By aligning your goals with your values and priorities, you increase the likelihood of success and fulfillment. It's also important to be flexible and willing to adjust your goals and boundaries as needed. Life is unpredictable, and circumstances may change, requiring you to adapt your plans accordingly. Finally, remember that success is a journey, not a destination. Celebrate your achievements along the way and acknowledge the progress you've made, no matter how small. By setting realistic goals and boundaries, you are setting yourself up for sustainable success and well-being in the long run.
