New Month Means New Goals and 5 Questions to Help Set Them

Today is the start of a another new month – hard to believe we’re almost half-way done through the year. Where has the time gone?

I love a new month as it brings renewed hope and the opportunity for creating new ideas and actions, i.e. goals, to work on. This is the time to take stock of how things have been going on the goals you set back in January.

It also is the time to assess your current state, to see if you’re satisfied with where you are and, if not, to change that. You won’t know where things are if you don’t truly make an overall assessment of your life, in the following areas:

• career
• relationships
• finances
• hobbies/fun/recreation
• physical environment
• health
• personal growth & development
• time management/productivity

These are the main areas, although there may be others, to identify what is working or not.  In each of these, ask yourself:

• how satisfied you are (you can rate on a Likert scale, from 1-5, or 1-10)
• do you feel uneasy when you delve into any of these area; if so, there is an issue that needs to be addressed as it could be holding you back from success
• what is working well in each area; what are the strengths you possess that is leading to positive achievement
• what is not working well in each area; what is your responsibility/choices that have led to being stalled; are there any outside influences as contributing factors
• what changes do you want/need to make that would lead to feeling satisfied in each area; what do you want/need to continue doing, if you are satisfied

These questions will give you the big picture of how all areas of your life are going. Armed with this information, you can now break each area down and continue asking the questions until you get to the bottom line for where you want the rest of the month/year to go, ala set new goals. Start today to create the roadmap for your life – it’s never too late!
