When is the best time for setting goals? We know the answer

When exactly should we be setting our goals? Revisiting goals should be done regularly. What should trigger us to reassess what we are striving to achieve?

Often, it is about shifting our attitudes and behaviours to achieve better results.

Here are the best moments to decide for yourself where you want to go to, as proposed by an article on the addicted2success.com website:

  1. When something unexpected happens: Sometimes, we receive some news which may be good or bad but, either way, we know we need to adjust our plans accordingly. It may be winning a lottery or losing one's job. If and when the unexpected happens, make sure you incorporate it properly into your plans.
  2. When you are down: To start getting up again, something needs to be changed. Sometimes we simply have to make big changes in our lives.
  3. When you want new results: Do some areas of your life need to be improved? Then probably you should set some goals. If you look in the mirror and you dislike the person looking back at you, set goals for yourself. Maybe you need to quit your job or the relationship with your current partner.
  4. At university: We should be setting goals throughout the education process in order not to forget about our dreams while trying to meet all the course requirements. Creating action plans can also help us achieve our goals.
  5. After a huge failure: We all hope nothing bad will ever happen to us. But if it does happen, we can use setting goals as a means to deal with the adversity we are facing. Sometimes plans change but so long as we are still in control, we are not beaten.
  6. After a huge win: When you have achieved what you wanted, there is the question of what comes next. So after a big win, we should reflect and after a while decide on our next big challenge.
