How To Set Goals With A Unique And Powerful Twist (Four Types Of Goals)

HOW TO SKY-ROCKET YOUR SUCCESS USING UNIQUE TYPES OF GOALS

We will cover four main types of goals.

Outcome Goals

You can state your ideal weight, dress size, body composition, and so forth.

Performance Goals

You can set goals based on performance (function). You can state what you want to be able to run, walk, lift, or otherwise perform.

Remember: "A better performance leads to a better body."

Process Goals

You can list actions you intend to take on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Examples could include your proper food intake, workouts per week, miles run per week, and so on. These goals are items over which you have control of. Choose the actions that will naturally take you to your outcome or performance goals.

When you achieve your process goals, you automatically win because you learn what outcomes result from what actions. Your next step is to adjust as necessary.You can add your process goals to a check list and check them off daily.

This is no different from the process that any great inventor goes through. An inventor makes a goal to create something, plans out the steps, receives feedback from the steps, and adjusts.

Feeling Goals

This is a subjective observation, but very powerful. The whole purpose of desiring something is for the improved feeling it will give you. You can experience your desired feelings even before your goal is met.

Choose what types of feelings you want to experience on a regular basis and aim to generate that feeling. You could go into a workout with the intention of feeling strong, fit, sexy, alive, flexible, energetic, or healthy. You could step into work and set a goal of feeling successful, fun, friendly, or ambitious.

You can keep a journal of how you felt during any event and rate it on a scale of 1-10 and look for consistent improvement. You will be surprised at how documenting how you feel can improve your awareness and ability to feel a certain way.

Use The Power Of The Pen

The reason you write out a goal is to get your subconscious mind working for you. It will inspire you to TAKE ACTION on the steps toward your goals, which is the best part.

Set A Date

When peak performers have dates or competitions scheduled, they know when they must bring out their best. With a specific time set, you will do what is necessary to peak on that date. With a foggy timeframe, it is easy to miss a workout or skip a meal, because you feel like you can make up for it later. Unfortunately, this can become a habit. "I'll start tomorrow" or "Next week I'll get back on track" are common phrases made by people who procrastinate.

When you create a date, you will make the most of your time and your decisions. You will make the extra effort to have your healthy meals ready and pack your gym clothes because you do not want to miss a beat. With a date, you have a frame to work backward from and detail the steps necessary to meet the goal.

Live With Consistent Persistence

The key is to create small, consistent steps, where each step requires the same effort as the previous one did. Get the momentum going and stay on path. If you miss a step, it requires great effort to get back on course, which can cause frustration.

NOTE: Set dates to inspire you and remain flexible with your dates. If you do not hit your mark exactly on the date intended and have to adjust the date, you still win. You learned, you grew, and you inspired others. Again, life is a journey, you will always be setting goals, meeting goals, and setting new ones. You have to be comfortable with goals that are still not achieved. Let the goals pull you, rather than create anxiety for you.
