Revisiting and analyzing your goals is a big part of doing a life reset. You might have had the same goals for a long time, and either no longer have interest in completing them, or just keep procrastinating and focusing on other things. This is exactly why you want to revisit them and get a little more clarity so you can get back on the right track.
Are Your Goals Still the Same?
Without looking at a list of goals you already have, write down any short-term or long-term goals you can think of right now. Just write them as they come to you, listing them off or making notes about some things you would like to do in your life.
These can be short-term goals that could be done in a month if you worked hard, or some that will take considerably longer.
Once your list is done, take a look at it and see what goals you have. Are they the same or different than ones you had previously? It is not uncommon to have brand new goals, or completely miss goals you used to have. This is typically a sign that you are changing, making the reset that much more important.
Do You Feel the Same Passion for Them?
When you start looking at your goals, do you feel the same hopefulness and passion for them that you once did?
You might have always had this goal of moving to a particular city you are fond of, but even though you wrote it down on your list, you just don’t feel that same excitement. It is okay to change your mind and adapt to different phases of your life. You might want to revisit some goals later, but for now it’s okay to put them aside.
Do You Have a Solid Plan for Reaching Your Goals?
You also want to have a good plan for reaching the goals you feel the most passionate about. If you don’t have a plan, then it isn’t a goal, it’s a dream. Make your dreams a reality by writing down exactly what you would need to do in order to accomplish those goals.
This takes a lot of brainstorming and being realistic about what is expected, what you might need to give up, and how long it will take.
Take your time in figuring out the right steps towards achieving your goals.
