The Why of Goal Setting

Why do we gravitate to setting goals around this time each year? Is it the idea that we will live more fully when we achieve a goal? Maybe it is that achieving these goals fosters growth. Perhaps goal setting nurtures the curious, competitive spirit we all have.

Surely setting goals keeps us moving forward, and it is motivating to look back at the closing year to set new goals for the year to come.
So how should we work with goals?This year, I encourage you to set achievable goals that stretch you beyond what you currently perceive as easy, as well as goals that foster growth in the mind, body and spirit. Goals should be attainable but require work and commitment to achieve, so avoid setting unrealistic goals that end as a disappointment.

Wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2015!
