Setting Goals

When we think about goal setting, we tend to think about business
men and young people planning their lives.
But as we accommodate to the
changes in our lives we often need to think about setting new goals. For a new widow those goals may be career
goals, financial goals or goals for addressing the changes in your personal
life.
I recently read an article by Steve Hendon, business coach,
who discussed goal settling related to the Olympic athletes. He discusses setting challenging and specific
goals:
"It's not uncommon for us to believe
that goals should be realistic to be attainable, but Edwin Locke,
professor emeritus at the University of Maryland, and Gary Latham, professor at
the Rotman School of Business, at the University of Toronto, suggest otherwise."
As widows it is important that
we set new goals, and many of them will reach beyond our comfort zone. When your life is irreparably changed by the death
of your husband, planning for your future and setting goals is essential. So reach beyond your comfort zone and set
some goals to help you achieve a happy future.

That is a great reminder. I have attended clinics with sports psychologists and they have encouraged the same type of thought. It helps you to reach above and beyond what you thought was possible for yourself.
