"One of the most essential things you need to do for yourself is to choose a goal that is important to you. Perfection does not exist; you can always do better and you can always grow."
--LES BROWN
I've been reading alot lately about setting goals. In a world were wants and needs often get blurred and we forget the destination we have set out to reach, having goals seems to be of great importance. Often times I set goals for myself and then find I have lost sight of them in no time at all. Sad but true! I wanted to share with you what I have learned in hopes that it may help you as it has truely opened my eyes to the value of setting goals for personal growth in my recovery.
Just making a list of short and long term goals are a thing of the past. Open yourself up to vast improvement by making a list of daily, short, mid-range, and long term goals.
When starting the daily goals list --Ask yourself what do you wish to accomplish today?
From there you work on each goal list keeping in mind that each list divides your goals into managebale parts that will help to reduce any overwhelming feelings and stress. Before you know it you will be reaching the goals you set making room for new goals.
I know it might sound alittle childlike but it is working for me. After all, we do take it one day at a time.
