• Change is an inevitable and necessary part of life. Yet, an unexpected transition such as moving schools, changing careers, starting a new family, can become overwhelming. Over the years, I have gone through many transitions just like many others and through this journey, I have realized that most of the time we do not know how to cope with such changes and transitions.
• It also depends on the culture of the family we belong to and how open we are for finding help. It can be helpful to have a mentor to guide us in setting short term and long term life goals. Realistic life goals and having the accountability with a mentor can be life changing.
• I have learned few different ways and styles for goal setting, but SMART goals seems a simple and effective way to handle goal management. SMART stands for: Specific • Measurable • Attainable • Realistic • Timely •
• Answering these six “W” questions can also help to be more specific. • 1. Who is involved? • 2. What do I want to accomplish? • 3. Where is the location • 4. By when do I want to achieve this? • 5. Which requirements and constraints I may have to consider. • 6. Why do I wish to accomplish the goal
• How can we differentiate between a general versus specific goal? For an example,a general goal would be “happy marital relationships.” However, a specific goal would include “more listening, counseling, and paying attention to your partner’s need .” • We all learn by trial and error, but non-judgmental guidance has been very helpful through my journey. Let me know if I can help! I am always here to serve and help you live your dream life.
