Goal setting

When we think of a goal we want to achieve, it is better to write it down to focus on it more. It gives us more of a drive to want to complete it. In our wellbeing groups, we discuss what ways goals could be achieved (practice, break it down, ask for help, work with others, be realistic, be achievable, keep on top of it) 

Have a think what achievements you have already done. How did it feel when you have achieved something? 

When we complete a goal it makes us feel better about ourselves. Our confidence is lifted and we feel good about achieving similar tasks. Do you feel more confident when you achieve something?

Make sure the goals you set are realistic and achievable within a short time frame. This will give you more motivation to push for the end result. It will also help to give you a more positive mindset. If the goal will take you a long time or it maybe too difficult, it is worth breaking it down into smaller steps to achieve along the way. This way you will feel you are making progress instead of letting yourself down.
