How to Set Objectives to Reach Your Goals

The stairway to reaching your goals is long and hard and you can not reach the top overnight, however, reaching your goals and being successful is one of the most rewarding things one can ever feel. There are multiple steps to reaching your goals, however, sticking to your plan is the most important thing to get results. Here are some steps on how to plan for your goal and actually stick to the plan. 


  1. Start small. When you are planning for one big goal, it is easy to get overwhelmed and not know where to start, so it is best that you start with one thing and one thing only, then slowly start focusing on bigger goals. For example, if your goal is to become a healthier person, instead of cutting off all unhealthy food and going to the gym 5 days a week and doing intermittent fasting, start small and build up to these goals. Start by cutting off junk food and going to the gym 2 days a week, then learn new healthy recipes and cut off all unhealthy food and ingredients, then start going to the gym 3 days a week, then start reading about different diet plans and see what suits you, and so on. You can also read “The One Thing” by Gary W.  Keller and Jay Papasan, which talks all about the idea of focusing on small goals to achieve bigger ones. 


  1. Set motivating goals. As mentioned earlier, the road to reaching your goals is hard and takes time, so you need to make sure that your goal is motivating enough so you don’t stop pursuing it. Think about why this goal means a lot to you and why it is important that you reach it. You can also think about your fears rather than your goals, for example, instead of “I want to be healthy”, you can say “I don’t want to be overweight or unhealthy/ I don’t want to have health issues in the future”, or instead of “I want to get a promotion”, you can say “I am scared of staying where I am at work and not get better”.


  1. Set SMART goals. This is often talked about by researchers and life coaches when it comes to setting goals. SMART is short for “specific”, “measurable”, “attainable”, “relevant”, and “time bound”. 

  • Specific: this means when setting your goals, you have to be precise what exactly is it you want to achieve, for example, if your goal is to lose weight, instead of saying “lose weight”, you can say “lose 10 pounds’, that way, your goal is more specific and accurately represents what it is you want to do. 

  • Measurable: which means that you should determine how you are going to measure your progress. For example, if your goal is to lose/gain weight, you are going to need a scale to track how much weight you have lost/gained, or if your goal is to eat healthier, you will need a way to track if you have been eating healthy, such as get a notebook to write down what you have been eating or download a calorie counting application to track your calorie intake. 

  • Achievable: this means you have to be realistic with yourself when setting objectives to reach your goal. For example, if you know that your body does not lose weight with just dieting, you need to include the gym in your plan, or if you know that your body will not gain any weight as well by just eating more, then you need to include in your plan to visit a nutritionist to help guide you through how to gain weight healthily. 

  • Relevant: setting relevant goals means that these goals have to be of value to you or actually matter to you. This is important because if your goals do not hold important or do not motivate you to achieve them, you give up on them at some point, so make sure your goals are actually relevant to you. 

  • Time bound: adding the element of time to your plan is very important to help make it easier on you to work on them. When you set a certain time and date for when this goal has to be accomplished, you will find yourself actually sticking to it. 


  1. Write down your goal daily. When you write down your goal, it then exists in another place than your mind. This helps you actually realise your goal and adds realism to it in your mind, that this thing - this goal - will actually happen. Write down your goal everyday in a persistent tone, for example, “I will work out today” instead of “I should/ have to work out today”.  


  1. Share your goal with someone. When you tell someone about your goal, it gives you an extra push to keep working on it to make it real. Telling a friend about your goal and constantly giving them updates on where you are will help you realize the accomplishments you have done and how far you have come, and will give you support from your friends that will fuel you up to do more. 


  1. Lastly, be patient with yourself. Big goals are called long-term for a reason, and they do not happen overnight, but they are not impossible to achieve. With hard and smart work, you will make it happen, just be patient and believe in yourself, and make sure to celebrate your achievements along the way, no matter how small.
