2-2-3 working with yourself: GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAl

What is a "goal" exactly?

-          From the "Perceptual Control" theory; it is: setting a reference that is out of your reach so it creates a motive for you to start taking steps toward it  

What a good goal looks like?

1-     Specific

-          Very clear

-          Have a very clear visual picture of what you want

-          A "too general" goal is not a goal, e.g. "I want to be happy"

-          It make you excited when you think about achieving it

-          It is a good goal when you can at a certain point stop and say "I have achieved my goal"

2-     Positive

-          Towards something, now "away from" something

-          "I want to stop doing …" is not a good goal

-          "Goal" is something you get to, not "getting away" from, by definition

3-     Concrete

-          All the factors to achieve it are available and at you arm's reach, if not, you may want to set previous goals before that goal

4-     Immediate

-          If it is a good goal, you can start moving towards it right now

Long story short, a good goal is "An Achievement"
