Another way to look at it is: Think of it as an iterative process where each new action spurs on a new set of goals.
How Could You Use GROW to Grow? First, imagine the “ideal” and set Goals What is it that you really want to achieve?
Next, examine your REALITY What is happening now (what, who, when, and how often)? What is the effect or the result of this? What might happen if things kept going this way? What steps have you already taken towards your goal? What is holding you back?
Then, consider your OPTIONS Once you have identified obstacles, you need to find ways of dealing with them if you are to make progress.
Finally, decide what you are WILLING TO TRY Choose 1 of your options and convert it to action steps
Try it out for awhile and reflect on what worked and what might need to be modified.
