LOL<br /><br />What a motivational post, and I'll be looking into the links you gave.<br /><br />I know the importance of goals and projection, I just have to get out from being/feeling overwhelmed.<br /><br />It's the small attainable goals that usually work best. You motivated me to set a goal of writing at least 10 minutes a day on my own stories!Karen Cioffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492421057039326702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15462854.post-54322136049467479272011-02-18T16:32:55.116-05:002011-02-18T16:32:55.116-05:00Truly great idea. 2011 is going fairly well for m...Truly great idea. 2011 is going fairly well for me at the moment.

Great idea! And it works well for most...Great post! Great idea! And it works well for most people. <br /><br />I've found during 20+ years of life coaching that people have different styles in life. And not just of clothes. <br /><br />People have different styles of goal attainment. The most important thing is for you to figure out which category you fit in. <br /><br />For some few folks, the negative reinforcement of starting over if you miss a day will have the effect of throw-up-the-hands-and-give-up-totally: it creates too much frustration.<br /><br />For those goal attainers, try setting the small do-able steps Dallas describes, then give yourselves some kind of positive reinforcement (such as patting yourself on the head, smiling, and saying "good kid!") at the end of a day when you can check your new habit off the list. If you fail, say words of forgiveness to reassure yourself that it's okay to get back on the path tomorrow. <br /><br />The ancient wisdom: Know Thyself! is essential in setting up a process for attaining your goals!<br /><br />If you're a very creative person and need help attaining your goals, read my eBook, <a href="http://www.upositive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=WordPositive.eBookDetails&item=101" rel="nofollow">Goal Attainment for Creative People</a>.BatyaDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16605146095666982766noreply@blogger.com
