Avoid These Mistakes When You Set Goals for 2022

12/23/2021

Are you ready to set up your goals for 2022? Well, I say STOP!
Wait, don't do it yet! Or if you've already done it, you need to read this blog.

Everybody's making goals for 2022. That's awesome, and you totally should be! 
But I want to make sure that you avoid these mistakes when you set your goals for 2022. I'm going to talk about the three things that I see people do that totally screw them over. By screw over, I mean: 
  • you don't reach your goals in 2022  
  • you find it harder to reach your goals 
  • you're not focused or you're pushing 
  • you can't just get rid of any negativity, or disappointment from 2021 ​
These are the 3 things to make sure you're not doing when you set your goals. 
AND make sure you join the complimentary mini-course 5-Day Reset to help you get ready to make your 2022 goals. It’s happening from Dec 27-31 and it’ll be on my Facebook Group Dynamic Women Global Community. You’ll be able to say goodbye to 2021 and greet 2021 properly! Register here.
Number 1: Don’t jump into your goals…yet
How do you know if you have the right goals? Well, there are a few processes I take my clients through in order to properly figure that out. But the problem is we jump into our goals…
  • before we're ready 
  • before we're focused 
  • before we're motivated
  • before we've had time to properly go through the steps to reset from the previous year
But by jumping into your goals too soon, it can throw off your success. It's kind of like thinking, “Oh, I'm just gonna go and do some sprints without warming up first.” If you've ever done that before without warming up or even cooling down, you know the disaster that can cause.  Oftentimes, our muscles get injured. Our performance is poor. We’re not able to continue on and we're sore for many days after.  
It's the same way with goals. You have to be ready, and you need to have the right ones. 
Number 2: You don't release the unfinished goals and don't celebrate the completed ones
Releasing and celebrating goals is so important in order for there to be the proper closure, and motivation carried forward. So often we just move into the next goals, not even claiming the success that we've had. 
The acknowledgement, the success, the achievement, and really sitting in the success and being witnessed is the reason why people are motivated to achieve the next goal. 
  • It also helps with procrastination. 
  • It helps with perfectionism. 
  • It helps you when you're stuck. ​
There are so many benefits to properly releasing and celebrating old goals and the learnings from them. But I just don't see people taking the time to do that. We're so ready to just shake off what happened the year before. As high achievers, we’re so quick to be like, “Give me the next goal! I’m going after what I want to achieve.” But we're missing out on the golden nuggets from the year before. 
I do this fully as a 3 step process in my Dynamic Year Program.

Number three: You don't start with a strong foundation
Picture a building that is constructed on a strong foundation. One that is made of concrete, not on just sand. One that will actually stand the test of time. This is the type of foundation you want for your goals. It will carry you forward even when you get shaken by things like:
  • COVID which is still around and so you're going to be restricted in what you can do personally
  • Or you're going to have to change things professionally because the way you wanted to do things just isn't going to happen anymore. ​
Maybe life clears up and things get better. Then all of a sudden, we've gone from the online world to the in-person world again. When you have a strong foundation, no matter what life throws at you, even if you shake a little bit, you move a little bit, at the end of the turmoil of being completely rattled, you'll still be standing. 
Creating a strong foundation comes from going through the steps of releasing and celebrating accomplishments and disappointments. It also comes from sitting with how it feels and sharing that with others. 
So often the goal setting experience happens alone. We take the time to figure out what it is that we want to achieve, but we do it by ourselves. That's the problem. 
  • We need to be witnessed. 
  • We need to share. 
  • We need to be challenged. 
  • We need to have our eyes awoken to what really could be.
  • We need to be stretched.
  • We need to be pushed beyond our boundaries. 
The most successful goal setting experience only happens when you're making goals with someone else. And when there's a strong foundation, it’ll be easy to stretch and increase your goals.

Well, the good news is I have a 3-step process in Dynamic Year that helps you create that foundation and design a 1 page plan including your awesome goals. 
Why should you care about this? So often we get to the end of the year, and think I didn't achieve what I wanted to. We promise ourselves, next year will be the best year ever! What are you going to do to make that happen? Oftentimes, the answer is nothing. 
If you don't have a foundation in place, you'll make the same mistakes and miss out on the success that you crave. But when you join the Dynamic Year Program, you're going to walk out with a 1 page plan for 2022 to set you and your goals up for success. With Dynamic Year, you'll build a foundation to get you excited and confident about your year. And then you'll go and blow last year's results out of the water. I'll help you do it.
