Are You Setting PUSH Goals?

Goal setting has been my main focus of the last several months. I have been working with so many women who have a desire to write a book, but can never seem to make it happen. They set out to write, but then get overwhelmed and eventually throw in the towel. Usually, embarrassed they jump on the phone with me to talk about it, but I am always excited to help because ultimately I can relate.I had a dream to write a book for years, but never went through with it because I let fear stop me. I also never went through with it because I allowed obstacles to be my guide. Not anymore. I pushed past those things and ultimately it changed my life literally.Therefore my goal is to do the same for my clients.  When I work with my clients one on one I always have them set goals. They usually set comfortable or familiar goals because that is what we are programmed to do. I have to teach my clients to step out of their comfort zone and set PUSH goals.To me a PUSH goal is a goal that is pushing you out of your comfort zone and into the zone where success lies. Those familiar goals are not benefitting us one bit. What good is it for me to set a goal running a 1.1 miles a day if I already am running 1 mile a day. We have to set BIG goals.There are too many people not operating or using the gifts.  I don’t want that for you. Your story along with your gift has the potential to change lives so we have no more time to waste.So let’s break down what PUSH meansP-PositiveAre your goals adding to your life? Many people are setting goals and they are not even helpful for them. For example you may say I have a goal to get a boyfriend, but then you’re rushing to make it happen without even realizing the negative impact it has on your life. Take a minute and ask yourself is this goal benefitting me? Your goal and the outcome of it should always be moving your life in a positive direction.U-UpliftingHow do you feel about your goal? Does it inspire you? Do you feel encouraged and motivated by thinking about what could happen when you accomplish them? You want to make sure your goals inspire you because there is a long process to reaching them. Without having an optimistic attitude and an encouraged spirit you’re more likely to throw in the towel all together.S-StrategicHave you created a strategy to accomplish your goals? You can not go after your goals with a blind eye. You have to be willing to make some changes and implement a plan if you want to be successful at reaching your goal. Take time to reflect on your habits, and daily actions and determine if those are negatively impacting the goals you’re working towards.H-HardIs your goal challenging ? Is it pushing you past where you’re comfortable? If the answer is no then the goal is not a PUSH goal. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes “shoot for the sky because at least you will land amongst the stars – Normal Vincent Peale. Too many of us are shooting low and then landing lower and then we’re upset. Aim high after all you’re worth it.Every month I identify my PUSH goals to make sure I am always moving in the right direction.
