Goals are a way of working out where we would like to go and who we would like to be.- Having goals can help to keep you focused, feel in control, improve motivation and minimise distractions.
- Goals can be short-term (today, this week) or long-term (this semester, this year).
- Goals should be SMART: Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound.
- Achieving a goal can make you feel more confident in your abilities and increase your belief in yourself.
- Reward yourself when you reach a goal. What are some of the rewards you might enjoy?
- What are you waiting for? Start writing a list of goals now and the keep the list someplace visible.
