How to Take Stress Out of Goal Setting - Learn the Power of Whole Brain Goal Setting

When you fail to achieve a goal, do you experience a stress response? Most of us do. It’s a natural reaction.

It’s not so much the lack of goal achievement itself. More often, it’s the self-talk from your inner critic that does the job.

In this episode of, "Mind Over Stress”, you and I look at a study published in the journal, “Behavioral Brain Research” that points to an effective way to craft goals that increases the probability of success.

Summary of Whole Brain Goal Setting Process:

- Create big, bold, and bright visualizations of your ultimate, BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) goal or destination;

- Creat big, bold, and bright visualizations of subgoals or mile markers along the way;

- Make the subgoals as small as needed to be easily achievable;

- Identify and visualize possible points of resistance or roadblocks you may encounter. If you need to, return to the previous step and create even smaller subgoals;

- Create two or more alternative responses to deal with those possible roadblocks;

- Engage in the goal achieving behaviors right away. Take one or more tiny, tiny step immediately and keep moving to main momentum;

- Monitor progress and adjust your behaviors and actions as needed to keep moving toward your ultimate BHAG;

- Celebrate each success no matter how small;

- Feel good as you move step by step toward that ultimate BHAG.
