Setting a reasonable goal to make sure 2011 is fantastic ~ A Teen Girl’s Perspective

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We all can and should plan to select and set our 2011 goals wisely.
Instead of making a whole bunch of little goals that we may easily forget as soon as January is over, maybe we can try setting just one big goal.

Setting a goal that sums up all that we want to do and accomplish in the upcoming year is a great way to set ourselves up for success.

We can think about where we want to end up by December 2011, and work backwards to see how we can accomplish parts of our goal each month until we get there.

Some teens may set goals like:

Plan to become a better person, refrain from being selfish, prepare for success, try to find their true self, etc.

If we can just stick to our one big goal for 2011, we may be able to look back at the year in December 2011 and be able to smile and feel proud, knowing we have accomplished all that we planned to accomplish!

Happy Goal-Setting!
