Whether you’re wanting to shrink your waistline, get a promotion or chalk-up a new personal best, setting yourself goals can help you get to where you want to be. Having the motivation to improve yourself is an important first step, but what is the best way forward from here?

We’ve compiled some articles from three goal-setting specialists to help you really reach your full potential.

1. Stay motivated

“Imagine how you will feel once you have achieved your goals. Does it feel good? Then keep going.” So says Tina Ornezeder, who shares five easy tips for staying motivated and reaching your goals.

2. Stay on track

The best way to tackle a big challenge is to break it down into smaller steps. “A simple goal-setting approach can help get you to your dream.” EXOS performance specialist Kerry Greer tells us how to put this into practice on a daily basis.

3. Stay positive

We can’t all be winners all of the time. “When your glass seems half empty, just pour your drink into a smaller glass and it will be full again!” says Sanne Verstegen, who has learned that accepting smaller wins can help deal with bigger setbacks.

Now you have some guidance to help you set your goals, there’s nothing stopping you.

“Be committed, enjoy the process, and don’t be too harsh on yourself when you fail.”
Matt Walters

Hello
I learned the value of small advances or goals to the blows.
basically I had a heart condition (2 heart attacks) that left me almost knockout. (from that moment on, I performed the operation with the bay pass methodology and from that moment on it began little by little ... and very slowly ... "recovery"
the pain and the worst of the postoperative ones made me think that I could not do sports ... but I started from steps little by little with small objectives ... 1 minute running and 3 walking ... to the weeks 2 minutes running and 2 minutes walking ... and so on until today ... that I run approximately 7 and 8 km per day in approximately one hour 20 minutes
if I could ... ANYONE CAN

I believe, setting goals is one side of the medal. Achieving them, the second. And being motivated isn't enough to achieve. However, let's not forget that we live in times, in which we must strive for more than just personal improvement. To achieve a future together, personal goals can only be stepping stones. But the true vision must be bigger, it must be mutually shared. Because being accountable to yourself is one thing. Being accountable to a whole planet with various codependent but vastly extinct species who demand a mutual future is a whole different game.
