Goals Means What Who To Improve Our Own Life Goals

Posted By: Vinayak Dhotre

About this Talent:

Hi,

Setting goals involves putting in place cognitive and behavioral strategies. For example, much of goal setting involves mental strategies like developing a growth mindset, the mindset that we can grow and improve. We also need to have dedication, perseverance, and grit. These are all cognitive processes that help us stay motivated long enough to reach our goals.

Behavioral strategies for goal setting might include breaking our goals into baby steps, planning for when we'll work on these steps, scheduling time to work on these steps, and actually following through. Both cognitive and behavioral strategies need to be used simultaneously in order to for us to reach our goals.

Goal Setting Theory

Goals setting theory suggests that the reason we set goals is to regulate our emotions and resolve "discontent" with the present situation. Years of goal setting research show that specific, hard goals lead to better performance and success than vague or abstract goals like "I'm going to succeed!" Other things that lead to goal success include being committed to the goal, having the skills needed to achieve it, believing we can achieve the goal, and not having conflicting goals. We can also benefit from feedback and tracking our progress (Locke & Latham, 2006).
