Achievement Goals vs. Lifestyle Goals

Can you believe it’s already July? Time flies, but it’s never too late to define what this year stands for and set meaningful goals. Whether your kids are in diapers or heading off to college, you’re doing an amazing job juggling everything. Take a moment to acknowledge your hard work and be proud of yourself!

Setting goals can be overwhelming, especially with everything on our plates. That’s why it’s essential to break them down into manageable steps and differentiate between lifestyle goals and achievement goals. Lifestyle goals are about creating feelings and experiences, like fostering a deeper connection with your kids or prioritizing your health. Achievement goals are specific and measurable, like saving $10,000 by the end of the year or organizing your garage.

To keep track of your progress, I recommend using a daily to-do list with sections for gratitude and accomplishments. Reflecting on what you’ve achieved each day can boost your motivation and keep you focused.

As we move into the second half of 2024, let’s identify one primary goal to focus on. Consider what will make you say “wow” when you achieve it. This wow factor is crucial; it ensures that your goal is meaningful and aligned with your true desires.

Here’s a simple framework to get started:

1. Identify Your Goal: Choose a specific goal to accomplish in the next six months.
2. Determine the Type: Is it a lifestyle goal (focused on feelings and experiences) or an achievement goal (specific and measurable)?
3. Clarify the Why: Understand the true desire behind your goal. Why do you want to achieve it?
4. Create a Vision Board: Visualize your goal in detail. What will it look and feel like when you accomplish it?

Let’s make the rest of 2024 truly remarkable. To dive deeper into goal setting and achieving, join our upcoming DREAM Goals Workshop. You’ll get hands-on support and guidance to turn your dreams into reality.

Sending you so much love, Momma. Keep shining and celebrating your journey!
