Short term goals help us reach our life long goals faster
Short term goals help us with reaching our bigger life goals we set. They are great for stepping stones towards our bigger goals and are much easier to achieve. Many good things come from using short goals, they help create self esteem, and confidence in our ability to achieve success, they speed up the process of reaching our lifelong goals, and we can set as many or and little as we like which make them fit our schedule much easier. For example, let’s say I set a lifelong goal to lose 70 pounds by next year, and I set small goals to achieve that success, these small goals could be anything like, starting to exercise every day for a number of minuets, slowly changing my diet to one which helps me lose weight faster, remembering to visualize every day of my ideal body image, and taking time to relax. A small goal could even be something like signing up at a gym, or indoor pool, it is important to set deadlines for even the small goals, that way when you accomplish them in your time frame you feel successful and accomplished. A deadline for exercising every day could be you decide to work your way up to five different exercises a day by such and such a date. Or work your way to doing 100 push-ups or sit-ups every day, these are deadlines which you can work towards and accomplish. Short term goals should also be believable just like your long term goals should be. Make sure you believe you can achieve a short term goal by the deadline and you will. If a short term goal seems to be too big, break it down into even smaller ones. Once you accomplish any of your short goals you will feel better about yourself and you will have more confidence to go further and accomplish more, it all works together, the small goals and the larger ones. Then the day comes when you reach your big lifelong goal and because of all the little goals you set down as stepping stones you were able to reach your lifelong goal by the date you set and you become a great success. The feeling is great, one of satisfaction, pride and happiness. You have achieved something which many other people are still struggling with, and if you wanted to you could write a website about it, or make a video to help others achieve the same thing you did, by your determination, perseverance and peasant. You can do it!
