This can be more challenging than it sounds. There are so many life events and obligations that can come between you and your real goals. That being said, there’s something exciting about working toward a goal that you value.
A GOAL THAT YOU VALUE, this is key. A goal that you choose. A goal that reflects something important, that matters to you and will draw you forward.
Perhaps, when you decided to become a chiropractor or nurse, you were attracted to it because you valued being tangibly helpful to others, maybe you enjoyed the intellectual challenges associated with learning about health and caring for patients, or you appreciated the profound moments you’d get to share with people. Often after you achieve your goal, you may feel a bit let down, and there comes a time to set new goals. The glow of achievement has worn off and the intensity of the work may even have led to burn out. To reconnect with what is important to you, contact me; you’ll move closer to well being.
Having a goal, provides direction for your actions and a framework for what you want to accomplish. Each step along the way, even when challenging, can be put into the bigger context so that you can experience a sense of meaning along your journey. It turns out that striving after goals, rather than goal attainment itself is more important for happiness.
Here are some ideas for how you can increase your happiness through committing to your goals.
- Choose your goal wisely.
- Claim your goal, state it publicly
- Break Down Your Goal into component steps which are manageable
