RE: The Importance of Goal Setting

in #inspiration7 years ago

So true! Goals are important. I have recently just started setting some again and feel empowered. But just like you said, it is challenging to get started. I would suggest starting with a little sub-goal that is easy to accomplish. This gets the ball rolling. I recently watched a Youtube video from an artist on goal setting. In the video he said that he wanted to acquire a new painting skill and to learn it he had to practice it daily. Of course, this requires a lot of discipline and hence the risk of giving up is high. So what he did, was to tell himself that he would just have to draw one line a day. Drawing a line a day probably takes under a minute. Of course, once he drew that line, he went on to draw for 1,2 or 3 hours more. He tricked himself by keeping the barrier of entry really low.

I like this way of thinking, and you make a really good point. Sometimes we do have to trick ourselves into starting something new, and taking baby steps is definitely better than taking no steps at all.
