New Years Resolutions?
OR would you rather....
New Years “Life Goals”!?!?
Who wouldn't prefer setting goals to “enhance” &“add” to life vs. simply "resolving" what to "quit" or "stop" in 2021?
My favorite life coaching tool is my self developed Life Assessment & Goal Setting Process. Following an exploration of values & beliefs, a "mission statement" is developed for the group, family or individual. This is followed by a guided assessment of 7 "life areas" which provides an opportunity to look at where we are.... and where we'd like to be. Goals at that point begin to reveal themselves.
RESOLUTION: To solve, Undo, Settle, Explain, To loosen. A formal decision to do or not do something.
GOAL SETTING: More than “deciding to do” ..... “A specific plan to execute“, Plan to achieve desired accomplishments , Measurable time frames, Well defined steps, Sharp & clear , Action plan , Guided & motivated
