Too often when we set a goal, we look at the big picture, and the goal we set suddenly becomes a massive undertaking that can be overwhelming. These habits and systems, while they may seem small, add up over time and are what help us achieve our goals. When we implement habits after triggers, such as drinking a glass of water (habit) first thing when we get up (trigger), this will help us achieve our bigger goal of staying healthy. This means developing fool-proof triggers that build habits. In his book, Clear asks us to step outside traditional goal setting and drill down to the root of how we can affect change in our lives. James Clear discusses this in his book Atomic Habits. These systems and habits are what make us (or break us) when it comes to achieving success, whatever that may look like to us, and getting the most out of life. One thing I have learned through my own goal setting is that it’s not necessarily the goal itself that should take all your focus, but the small habits and systems we put in place as a result of these goals. But achieving that goal can sometimes feel unsurmountable. If you are like me, you thrive when you have a clear goal.
