Goals give you something to focus on, something to look forward to. They can be general areas of improvement in your day-to-day life, or they can be specific, measurable milestones you intend to accomplish. But goals can be a tricky thing. Make them too far out of reach and you're only setting yourself up for failure. Make them too easy and there's little sense of accomplishment in achieving them. The key is to set reasonable goals that can be achieved with a feasible amount of effort. A feasible amount of effort can still mean lots and lots of work. However, it should be something that you can physically achieve.
Finally, it's important to keep in mind that goals are a moving target. There's no reason to beat yourself up over falling a little bit short. Remember, goals are tools to promote positive change in your life. Feel free to adjust them as your life demands.
Most of my current goals are fairly general. You won't find any dates to do something by or a defined number of pounds to lose. I'm focused on making some lifestyle changes that don't really need a finite time frame.
