Life Transitions and Goal Setting
We often want to make changes in our life, but sometimes don’t know where to start. Goal-setting can help you identify where you want to go, and the steps needed to get there. Goals can be related to a variety of life areas such as interpersonal relationships, career, school, finances, health, lifestyle and personal development. You are far more likely to accomplish your goals if they are SMART goals; for example:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Attainable
- Realistic
- Timely
Goals should be broken down into smaller, manageable steps. If you set your goal too high, it will be difficult to accomplish, and your motivation may suffer.
