Why Big Goals Don’t Work – Baby Step Your Way To Success — 5 Comments

  1. Thank you for sharing!

    I admit that for me it's not so much the goal setting that I struggle with. I've tried several different styles of goals, large and small, and the sticking point for me is getting back on track when I fall short. It's sometimes challenging to know whether to just pick up and move forward or take a new direction altogether. And how to keep a stone in the road that stubs your toe from turning into a major stumbling block.

    Great food for thought, as always!

  2. Thanks, Darla! It gave me chills as it was related to me; I'm glad I was able to bring that across.

    Nikki, it's interesting you bring that up. I was talking about that same issue this morning with my mentor. I think maybe I'll tackle that on my next Wiley. It's something I had to learn in Weight Watchers (and keep learning it, I suppose). But you're right – it's important to develop the skill to pick yourself back up or it's easy to get stopped in our tracks.

  3. You are so right about the reasons we give ourselves NOT to write. The critic is always there with its insidious voice and it's hard not to listen. But if we wish to do anything, we need to learn to ignore the critic. Here's to making and keeping habits and learning to do what we want to do, not what we tell ourselves we can't.

  4. Hi, Tess! I agree, it's so hard not to listen to the critic. We fight ourselves and so often, WE are our own worst enemy.

    I love it! I'll take that toast – here's to making and keeping good habits! ~raises glass~ (Well, okay, coffee mug, but you get the picture.)
