-Common mistakes in setting goals-



 Anybody can set a goal, but whether we can reach it, is a whole nothing thing. When we set a goal, and don't reach it, we often feel discouraged. So what can you do to avoid that situation? Lets take a look at the common mistakes people make when setting goals for themselves.

Mistake 1) They are too BIG. - This is similar to UNREALISTIC goals. When setting a goal, you really need to think about whether you can ACTUALLY  reach it . Think about the time frame. Is it enough? Or even realistic?

Mistake 2) Too many. Often people will make like 10 goals, but in the end they only reach a few, and then feel like failure. When setting goals, don't make an entire list, just have a couple. Make sure they are something you really, truly, want. Finally, DO EVERY THING YOU CAN TO REACH THAT GOAL.

Mistake 3) Not specific. People often make the mistake of setting goals that are too broad. For example: eat less chips. That is too broad. Narrow it down to exactly what types of chips you want to eat less of.

Mistake 4) Not written down. Studies show that people who write their goals down are more likely to achieve them, than people who don't. When you write them down, and place them in different locations, you'r always being reminded of them.
