Here we go again… It’s time for 2022 Goal Setting. With the New Year is fast approaching, it’s time for 2022 goal setting. If you’re like me, you look forward to the New Year because of the new possibilities it brings. It’s a great time to start fresh and take stock of what you accomplished this past year. It’s also a time to DREAM about what the next year will bring.

BUT THEN …

February comes along and you’ve lost steam. Those goals that were so important just a month ago have been pushed aside. Your goals that were so important to you a month ago, have been reprioritized and you’ve lost inspiration. Then comes the spiral of self-flagellation. You beat yourself up because, once again, you weren’t able to hold onto those goals.

Do you ever wonder why you find it so hard to maintain focus on your goals come February?

Similarly, are you sick of feeling bad about yourself because you weren’t able to achieve the goals you set?

The fact is YOU’RE THINKING TOO SMALL. Your goals are too tactical.

What’s missing from your 2022 Goal Setting process is having a bigger VISION for your life.

Take the extra step to align your values with your vision and you have the recipe for success in 2022.

When your goals are not tied to a bigger meaning it allows you to easily disregard and deprioritize them.

Make sure you’re not creating your life’s vision then closing it in your journal, never to be looked at again. Prominently post your 3–5-year vision where you can see it. Make sure you don’t just put this vision statement in a drawer and ignore it. Display it on your bathroom mirror, prominently on your desk, or on your refrigerator. Somewhere where you will see it every day, multiple times per day.

For this reason, it is also important to share your vision with someone (and share this blog post with them as well). In fact, challenge them to share their vision with you. Not only that, but get together every month, every quarter, whatever frequency feels right to share status and updates on your vision.

Create goals for the next 90 days but not too far in advance so it doesn’t seem overwhelming. Make sure your 2022 goal setting process has a direct impact in making your vision a reality. Aligning your tactical goals with your bigger vision will ensure you get to where you need to be. With this in mind, think SMART Goals

As you look at your daily to-do list, ask “does this action bring me closer to my future vision?” Does it really need to get done… today? or by me? Can someone else do this for me? And make sure you have at least one action (no matter how big or how small) that aligns with your vision. Consistent action, every day, will ensure success.

UNDERSTAND that your vision will be revised overtime. It’s ok to update it, tweak it, and if done thoughtfully and without fear driving your decision, change it completely. Just the act of creating a vision you’ll be able to gain more clarity as time goes on of WHAT YOU REALLY WANT in life.
