Looking after yourself

Goal setting is about you anyway, but there are some particular goals you should consider to look after your overall well being and to achieve the sometimes elusive life balance.

Career goals
Career goals are important as they probably occupy the largest part of your day and in most cases is the main source of your income - so having goals for your career is important for financial security and your own personal happiness and satisfaction.

And you can be happy at work - job satisfaction and success is an excellent driver of personal happiness and satisfaction. Conversely, having an unsatisfying job is likely to cause great stress and unhappiness.

So choosing the right career in the first place, then managing your career to get the most out of it and coping with any career set-backs is the key to setting successful career goals.

Health and well-being goals
It's also important to take care of your physical health and well-being. You only have one body - so look after it! By setting yourself effective health goals, you'll maximise your life span and enjoy your life more too!

And it's important to understand that health and well-being comes from the combination of your lifestyle factors, and not just one aspect of it - lifestyle factors are all inter-linked. This means that to improve one aspect of your health, you need to focus on your overall health profile and life balance.

Setting successful health goals therefore need to consider the following factors:

• Your general health goals - your age, family health history, weight and condition. These will all affect your health goals.


• Weight loss - something we all seem to struggle with from time to time, but you need to take control of your health to allow weight loss to happen.


• Healthy eating - food is your fuel for life, and also provides the building blocks for maintaining your body's structures.


• Exercise and fitness - a fit body is a healthy body.


• Life balance - stress management, sleep and relaxation are all important in maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle.

So look after yourself and set some health goals!

Self-Growth goals
All goals you set will be 'personal' to you, but some goals are for the benefit of YOU - think of them as the Self Growth Goals. They include Family and personal relationships [ what REALLY makes us happy], Friendships [making new ones, fostering good ones and ditching the bad ones], Self Growth or personal interests and Spirituality.

Self Growth Goals are about personal growth and connection with things other than material possessions and it is the Self Growth Goals that bring true happiness and satisfaction.

Achieving a suitable life balance demands that we identify Self Growth Goals and how to achieve them.
