Focusing on Goals
Focusing on Goals
· Are my goals well defined and concrete? Do I understand all of the components, including the potential obstacles?
· Can I personally identify with my goals? Are they worthwhile, given my values and those of the organization?
Strengthen your confidence in your ability to achieve your goals by asking yourself:
· What experience do I have in achieving comparable goals? Can I do it again?
· Which of my role models can help me understand what it takes to achieve my goal?
· Who can give me feedback to evaluate my capacities to achieve my goal? What must I learn to ensure success?
· Can I experiment and rehearse critical tasks while pursing my goals?
Overcome negativity and develop positive thoughts and feelings by asking yourself:
· Which emotions do I harbor-and what triggers them?
· Should I change my tasks or goals so that work is less stressful? Do I have healthy outlets-hobbies, sports, friends-for these feelings?
· What about my work creates enthusiasm, fun and excitement for me? What do I love doing? Apart from my work, from what personal well can I regularly draw balance or strength?
Sharpen your focus by asking yourself:
· What simple image can I keep in my mind when I need to remember my intention?
· Does this particular intention feel right? Do I really want it?
· Does my intention excite me? Is it something for which I can maintain my passion and commitment, even when obstacles arise?
· Does my intention jibe with my personal values and beliefs? Can I stand behind it with head and heart?
· How can I accomplish my intention?
· What specific steps will I need to take to reach it?
