Goal setting for 2021
Jan 20, 2021
Goal setting...What does 2021 look like for you? Writing down your goals brings them to life. Find some clarity by creating a vision for 2021.
I'm using the term "goal" because it's universal but...I don't like that word because it makes it sound so tedious, annoying and...basically like work...
When "goal setting", think about getting out of your head and into your heart. Don't think of these as goals in terms of checklists or as "what you want" but more about what inspires you (regardless of what anyone else thinks)...it's even better when these are bold, hairy and audacious 
It helps to think of life categories...like:
Relationship goals (spouse, kids, family, friends)
Fitness goals
Nutrition goals
Unexplored talent(s) goals
Creative goals
Career goals
Travel goals
Present them as questions like...
"What important relationship(s) do I want to improve and enrich this year". What are three things I can do now to create this?
Fitness is necessary. It's a genetic requirement. "What am I willing to try and am I alright with being uncomfortable in creating a vision for how fit I'd like to be". If so, what does that look like? How can I start today?
How can I create inspiration around the foods I choose to eat and to cook? What am I interested in learning regarding food this year? What are three action steps I need to take to learn something new about food.
Unexplored talents: Just because it's unexplored doesn't mean it's not a talent. "Which talent am I willing to develop and what are the action steps to start now?"
Creativity can be found with drawing, writing, cooking, dancing, singing, gardening etc..."how do I want to be creative and "in which creative outlet should I allow myself to spend 10 minutes a day on?"
.
"What inspires me at work? What are 3 action steps I can take to do more of what inspires me with my career"?
"Where do I want to go?" How (specifically) can I carve out the time, save the money, and just make it happen?"
Writing births clarity and clarity IS the great accelerator. Allowing for awareness and clarity around what inspires you is refreshing. It stirs the pot....and when the pot gets stirred, you might end up with a recipe you never realized existed.
Have fun, relax...see what emerges.
