Two Tweaks You Can Use Immediately to Make Achieving Your Goals Easier
How SMART Goals can be altered to help you be successful every time
Hey, hi there! Just popping in to see how you’re doing with the goals you set a few months ago.
I know it was right around New Year’s Eve, and you were probably a little giddy from your 37-day-long sugar-cookie binge. You may have been a bit overly optimistic about what you could accomplish in the new year. But idealizing ourselves and our futures is what we all do until said future actually shows up, right about…now.
So….how ARE things going?
Like most people, you’ve probably blown right past your goal deadline, similar to an overloaded semi-truck careening down a steep hill. You didn’t even get close to achieving your goal. (I’m right there with you. My goal of being able to knock out 15 push-ups at the drop of a hat by March 1st? Yeah, that didn’t happen.)
Achieving goals is hard (not going to lie on that one!)
A study done by the University of Scranton found that 92% of people who set goals never achieve them. But that means 8% of people do achieve their goals, and you can be one of them. Nothing says you can’t reset your goals and restart working on them today.
