As hard as it is to believe, we’re in the last quarter of 2021. That means it’s a great time to check-in and reflect on any resolutions or goals you have set for yourself for this year and to possibly set some new goals to end 2021 strong.

What is goal setting, and why is it important?

Identifying a specific objective, skill, or project you want to achieve is the first step in setting a new goal. Your next step in achieving it is to develop a plan and work on it diligently.

Goal-setting keeps you motivated, increases your happiness, and improves your self-esteem. Setting goals helps you envision what your life could be like in the future. Then you start pushing yourself to achieve the best results possible.

How to set achievable quarterly goals

1.   Start with the “Big Picture”

You can’t dive in and create quarterly goals without approaching them as part of the bigger picture.

To ensure that your goals for each quarter are practical, achievable, and in line with your overall company goals, you must start by planning for the entire year. It doesn’t matter if your goal is to increase your sales, eat healthier, work out more, or consume less sugar, the best way to look at the big picture is to stop going about the “all-or-nothing” approach.

It doesn’t matter how you get to your goals so much as that you get there, so long as you do.

2.   Set short-term goals en route to long-term goals

Don’t set such a big goal for this quarter that you’ll feel overwhelmed. Establish small, incremental goals along the way to your ultimate goal.

You will be able to build momentum and stay motivated if you set goals that allow you to see progress each week.

3.   Make room for flexibility

The best plans and strategies always leave room for change. We’re not robots, and even though many things can be predicted, change can and will happen, and it may cause your goals or roadmap to change, too. Also, a goal that initially sounded good might turn out to be a nonstarter. For these reasons, flexibility is important if you want your quarterly goals to remain achievable.

4.   Foresee obstacles and stay motivated

Obstacles will always arise, but planning for them is the key to overcoming them. Typical obstacles include scheduling conflicts, getting through events or parties without compromising your diet, complacency, injuries, and major life changes.

A balanced wellness routine isn’t all or nothing. Despite straying from your routine for a day or two, it’s OK to jump right back in without being hard on yourself.

5.   Incorporate Adaptogen Elixir into your routine
