Setting and Keeping Goals
Setting and Keeping Goals Why are some goals so hard to keep? And why do we keep setting the same goals - again and again - even after we fail? According to psychologist Dr. Janet Polivy, several new studies show that the human brain is “hard-wired” to be optimistic- which drives us to challenge ourselves, and believe that we can achieve new things. But Dr. Polivy says there are times when our optimism can get the best of us, and sabotage our chances of success because we tend to set unrealistically high expectations for ourselves. This helps explain why millions of us set resolutions each year but only 1-in-10 of us succeed. Do you set personal goals or make resolutions? How well do achieve or keep them? ![]() Stimulate my mind and the possibilities are endless. |

I like to set and achieve goals.😊

I think goal setting evolves over time. They can be personal or business-related. I stopped making resolutions a long time ago. Instead, I take time to reflect on my experience here and personally. Stimulate my mind and the possibilities are endless.

Yes and not very well. The problem is that the holiday season is not finished until we’ll into the new year. Surely it would be easier once the working year has commenced

Hi sexyldy1000. thanks for sharing this post... I don't shoot for goals or resolutions... I've been blessed... I try to be a better person... a better listener... stay positive... but, I'm not going to cure cancer or fix anyone... I do hope that a melonlicious breasted goddess finds me... happy new year!!! Lady Gaga - "Look What I Found" I'm alone in my house I'm out on the town I'm at the bottom of the bottle I've been knockin' them down I can't get back up on my feet See the lights all on the streetlight stars But look what I found Look what I found Another piece of my heart Just layin' on the ground Another foggy day I'm looking for a light And my only prayer Is working tonight I can't get myself out of bed Hear these voices in my head like a song...

I stopped making them decades ago (darn I'm old). I just try to be a little better than last year. If all of us make a 1% improvement every year and if we live to be 75, that's a 75% improvement. That's pretty good in my opinion. ![]()

"This helps explain why millions of us set resolutions each year but only 1-in-10 of us succeed." Just think, this is a big number, assume there are 300 million Americans ( not to disregard any other population) and 10% of them keep a resolution, look at that number, 30,000,000 will have done a good deed. never set goals that are easy, then the rewards are not as worthy, A goal can be simple as , just being a better person, doing a bit better than last year.. don't have to say …" I am going to lose 40 pounds and go to gym each day, " the simple ones that you have a realistic chance of achieving are very good goals, but think, some where in you life there is something that you can make better, make life more comfy, find one of these and try hard, be a 10%er

Hello, how are you

Being responsible on a daily basis gives me the best satisfaction and eliminates that sense of letting myself down. Resolutions are just a last minute reminder that we should have been doing something instinctively throughout the year. Using more than all the road!

You hit the nail on the head with the image accompanying your post^. "A goal without a plan is just a wish." One of the reasons many goals fail is that we set hefty, often vapid goals, with no clear plan to actually achieve them. It's better to break your goals up into small actions that you can easily get your head around. Focusing on these steps will leave you better off than setting general goals.
| ||
|
I can usually set and meet my goals, but that's because I know myself well enough to set them in small increments and don't beat myself up if I misstep. There's always a new day and a new chance to get things done.
| ||
|
I often think about things I'd like to accomplish, then I write them down on a list. The list is often long. If I achieve 50% of what I write down for a day, I'm happy. Seeing all those things crossed off on a list deceives my mind a little, but hey, euphoria is good, right? The goals I don't achieve as fast as I'd like are usually the ones that are the most unpleasant or require the most work. Go figure. One.step.at.a.time. L The person who dumps garbage into your mind will do you considerably more harm than the person who dumps garbage on your floor, because each load of mind garbage negatively impacts your possibilities and lowers your expectations ~~~ Zig Ziglar

Goals are really important as they are all over the business world and personal world. In business I made goals that were attainable but then stretched them a bit further to help obtain growth. Personally my goals are realistic and few. I have had the goal to lose weight for a 100 years and it has only partially worked so I don't to it anymore. A realistic goal this year is to get naked in an adult theater, nude private party, nude beach or nudist club at least 8 times. All possible. I reached 5 last year and reached that goal. I am trying for growth now.

Sure... Goals are great... I woke up this morning... I guess, I can cross THAT one, off my list... Words are like meatloaf- they can be sculpted into any shape you choose. I have an issue... Please Stop Sending Me Vagina Pics

Do you set personal goals or make resolutions? How well do achieve or keep them? I don't do New Year resolutions. When something needs to be fixed or changed I figure out what is actually needed and do what I can with the resources I have available. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

As a revelation I have discovered in the past few years about reaching your goals is on the level of time and commitment that you are willing to commit. This can be accomplished when you set aside a reasonable amount of specific time and place to do the work. Key word is, Work! I can easily equate this example to that of taking an online class. When I took my online nutrition class last semester, I knew that I needed to set aside days and times to complete it and to get a good grade. Once I made a commitment that I needed to treat the online class like I would need to go to a classroom, reaching my goals was made possible. If I have goals in life, which I have a few major ones, the best way to achieve them is setting aside the proper amount of time in my busy schedule and do the WORK! There may be some detours along the way, but as long as you keep your eye on the prize, you can achieve your realistic goals in life. ![]() ![]()
