The Two P's of Goal-work

First, let’s define Goal-work: It’s our focused and repeated action that leads to successful achievement of our goals. Goal-work includes problem-solving, goal-setting, and planning. And to support our accomplishment of goals, it’s our Patience and focused Perseverance when the going gets tough. Goal-work helps us create change.
 
What Goal-work Helps Us Do:
  • Set priorities and make decisions based on those priorities
  • Define and accomplish our life purpose and life satisfactions
  • Create changes that makes life worth living
  • Align our priorities (thoughts) with how we spend our daily lives (action)
  • Have emotional stamina based on our optimism and hope
  • Think positively about the future -- especially through adversity
 
When some people talk about their goal-work efforts their perspective suggests dissatisfaction and avoidance of goal-work. They have negative impressions of goal-work because fulfillment of their plans is seldom realized. They say that their plans have never worked out. Their efforts never succeeded.
 
What they are missing is the two Ps of goal-work. Perseverance, having the determination to work through challenges and disappointments. And Patience, understanding that delays are laying the groundwork for future success.
 
To have patience and persistence allows time, adjustments, and preparation to occur allowing your goal achievement to unfold. As you move forward in your goal achievement, there will be moments of surprise and moments of disappointment. There may even be obstacles that are, at the time, insurmountable. But, hang in there, keep pushing, make adjustments to your goals and timelines, adjust the steps that you hoped would lead to your goal achievement. Remember that no road is without twists and turns.
 
If you’ve gotten off track with your goal-work, here’s what you can do:
  • Commit today to daily accomplishment of short-term goals and objectives
  • Give yourself an emotional boost by surrounding yourself with reminders of your success
  • When you’ve reached a milestone or accomplishment, reward yourself
  • Change your thinking and motivation levels with affirmations, meditation, & imagery
 
Remember that each of your goals should be focused on one area of your life. Each goal and each step should be simple, concrete, and easy to imagine. And lastly, you should have timely and honest discussions with anyone affected by your goal-work.
 
Until then…

    My Transition From Psychotherapist to Personal Development Coach...

    I was a successful psychotherapist for 30-plus years and I’m still licensed in my home state of Ohio. Two years ago, I made significant adjustments to my life and career and focused my work solely on Coaching.

    Since then, I’ve been asked “how does that fit?”.

    Truth is, some people participate in psychotherapy to help “clarify some things” in their lives and to find direction. For them. it’s a wonderful revelation to know that finding their inner strengths in times of trouble and gaining clarity about current life situations is not a sign of weakness at all. It's a sign of strength.

    It has been said that the most effective coaches draw heavily on theories in psychology and skills-building methods. Both coaching and psychotherapy deal with behavior, emotions and thoughts.

    I have learned that an important key to living an effective life is self-awareness. For this to occur, it often means a journey beyond our current life events and a focus on "why" those events occur. In coaching, I help identify “why” and support my clients’ development of skills to live the life they would like.

    I encourage you to consider working with a professional who provides experience, wisdom and support -- and who also provides you with agreed upon methods of accountability to help encourage you to get things done.

    And, of course, I’d like for you to contact me.

    Would you like more information about my Personal Development Coaching? Or how about a brief, confidential, no-judgement discussion of your current situation? We’ll see if our working together is a good fit.

    Contact my offices at (336) 999-4533 during regular business hours (Eastern Time) or email me at DonnaColes.Coach@gmail.com and we’ll schedule our “getting to know you” conversation.
