5 Steps for Setting and Achieving Your Goals

Reflect & Align. The first step in setting your goals is to reflect on your successes of the past year (or life up to this point—you should take a lot of time and get really deep here) and celebrate these accomplishments! Ask yourself questions like, What have I done well? Where do I feel disconnected? Where do I see myself going? What am I passionate about? When you do this kind of deep digging, you become way more focused and powerful in your goal setting and achievement. I like to journal this process. Try to get really quiet and treat it as something ceremonial. Feel gratitude for your life journey, even if you are unhappy with where you are now. Coming out of this process, you should have a solid understanding of where you’re coming from and we can move into Step 2.
