Happy New Year! You Need a Supporting Environment To Achieve Goals
The new year brings hope because it brings both opportunities and challenges, and the experience of the past helps us better prepare for the challenges in the new year. It is the time to celebrate and begin the hard work to accomplish goals for the new year. Goals are what you want to accomplish, and the plan includes strategies for achieving these goals.?
To achieve goals, learn about the surrounding environment before setting a plan (strategy) to accomplish the goals for the following year. It means?people?around you, such as family, friends, colleagues,?places?where you spend time every day doing things, and the?process?you are involved or things you do every day. Understanding the 3Ps would help you select or create a supporting environment to achieve your goals. The three 3Ps, people, places, and processes, create the environment for success and failure.
For example, someone has a glucose issue and aims to lower glucose level next year. Family, friends, and colleagues (people) eat sugar-sweetened beverages, desserts, and sweet snacks like ice cream and cookies. The restaurants near work, the workplace cafeteria, and colleagues bring food that has sugar. The job is to sit in the office and make drawings for the new construction project. One may set a goal for the next year and get professional help, but the environment (3Ps) makes succeeding difficult.
Understanding the 3Cs, Choices, Change, and Conflicts, will help create a supporting environment for the strategy to achieve the goals. Select the choice that helps achieve goals based on data & information analysis and knowledge. No emotions are involved in choices based on data, information, and knowledge. There are plenty of emotional and non-emotional rewards after accomplishing the goals. Change is continuous because we live in a dynamic environment, and it is needed to achieve the goals. Embracing constant change increases the chances of achieving the goals. Achieving goals requires a plan, and it includes choices and change. The tough choices and significant changes result in conflicts. Identify the source or point of the start of the conflict and use the information to resolve the dispute without impacting the process of accomplishing the goals.?
Individual health is critical in achieving our goals. The three elements of our health are (1) physical, (2) mental, and (3) emotional. Depending on the goals, any deficiencies in one of these elements will impact your ability to achieve the goals.
Millions worldwide set New Year resolutions or goals they like to achieve. The goal should be clearly stated, realistic, and a plan for accomplishing it. Creating an environment that supports the plan or strategy by understanding the 3Ps of the environment and the 3Cs of creating a supporting environment will help achieve the goals. Lastly, the 3Ps and 3Cs concept helps accomplish personal, financial, and professional goals.
Happy New Year!
