For the majority of people, goal setting is just a box ticking exercise.
They put no real effort into it and they’re most likely setting it because someone else has asked them to.
Past experience has led them to believe that it’s a bit of a pointless exercise.
“I didn’t reach my previous goal, so what’s the point in setting a new one?”
But here’s the thing.
If we don’t set goals for ourselves then what happens? We have no real aim or objective by definition so we don’t bring our actions to the forefront of our mind and make them conscious to ourselves.
Instead, we wander around aimlessly with no objective or purpose behind our actions. The negative aspect of repeating cycles takes over here and we slowly let bad habits and routines take over.
If we’re lucky enough we might get a slap in the face one day and ‘come to’ where we zoom out and realise we’ve let things fall apart simply because we weren’t working towards anything.
We obviously don’t want to find ourselves in this situation.
