New Year Tips for Goal-Setting

Welcome to 2019! As some people always say, ‘If you want to become successful, you must first set goals.’  I believe that this saying could not be more true. In a world where so much is constantly going on, it is important to center ourselves and make sure that our personal needs and desires for a fulfilling life are being put first. One way to create a fulfilling life is to create goals specifically for you. However, in order to accomplish the goals you wish to pursue, you must first understand how to set them. According to The Huffington Post’s author, Stacy Kim, there are seven rules that she wrote that I found useful for women to be able to set obtainable goals for themselves.

1. Pick one goal to focus on.

2. It’s best to start with a “want to” goal rather than a “have to” or a “should.”

3. Focus on yourself.

4. Recognize the difference between projects and tasks, and choose each wisely.

5. Set a check-in point.

6. Celebrate your successes.

7. Be flexible. Abandon goals that don’t serve you well.
