Goals Aren’t Stressful

A reminder: goals and goal setting isn't stressful. Our thoughts about goals and goal setting are.

You could use this as an opportunity to understand more deeply how you view goals.

You can view a goal as super exciting or super stressful (or anything in between). Your choice.

You can use the Though Model below to see what your current thinking is going to create.

Insert your goal below and see where your thinking is leading you. Do you end up at a result you want or not?

If you don't like the result you are headed toward with your current thinking, work on a new, Intentional Model.

Pick a row of the model and work row by row until an entire model is filled in and you have an "R" line (Result line) that you desire.

Circumstance: My goal is... (i.e., My goal is to create 10 paintings.)
Thought:
Feeling:
Action (Inaction, Reaction):
Result:
