New Year Goals

Why Set Goals
Goal setting is a powerful way of thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to turn your vision into reality. 

Effects of Setting Goals
The effects of goals can help you focus on the important details needed to accomplish your dream. Writing your goals down prevents distractions. Furthermore, it clarifies priorities to keep you on the right track. The effects of setting goals can empower you to believe in the outcome and maintain a positive attitude while in the process of achieving that goal. 

How to Set Goals
When setting goals, set a general goal. Then break the general goal down into more specific goals. Be sure to have reasonable deadlines that are achievable in the time frame. Remember goals are used to keep you focused and motivated.
