Where do you begin when it comes to goal setting ideas?

When  think about my goals I always start with a wheel of life also known as the life balance wheel, to help you understand which areas of your life needs more attention. In order to live a truly happy and fulfilled life you want to create a perfect balance where all areas are working in harmony. 

What is a wheel of life? 

The wheel of life is often used in coaching (more about it here) and it consist of the core 5 areas that are:

– Life’s purpose and you fulfilling your true personal and spiritual growth 

– Self Actualisation that represents your career choices, finance & money

 – Creative life that includes your health and fitness and fun & recreation 

– Your Social Life, environment and community 

– Love life that includes your friends and family as well as your love life 

When thinking about setting your goals try and identify the areas where you want more improvements and growth. Let’s break them down one by one when it comes to your goal setting ideas for 2021. More about how to use the wheel of life, read more here. 

Goal setting ideas for Life’s Purpose  

Life’s purpose is so important, as you go through life you want to feel fulfilled in what you do, and that comes from your personal growth. In business and entrepreneurship if feels as though personal growth is never ending quest and it should never be. In life and business you should be forever curious and be willing to learn, as that is where the secret to growth lies. More about being curious in life, read here. 

 As yourself: 

– What are the areas in your life and personal growth that you want to address? 

– What would you like to learn more of?

– What areas of spiritual growth do you want to exercise more? 

– What rituals and practices can you add to your daily routine?

I love to see women being fulfilled in business and their career, because that is when we as women truly shine, and show up from a place of confidence.

Does your finances reflect the value you give and the time that you spend in your career? 

If not, maybe you need to value yourself more and look into pricing your services higher. There is no doubt that there are people who would pay way more for what you do, than you currently charge. But do you show up as the ‘go-to authority’ for them? Or are you constantly doubting, discounting and playing small? 

Consider setting higher goals, be specific about your financial goals and set yourself timelines. You will feel much more fulfilled when your finances reflect the value that you deliver.  Read more about this on our blog ‘Why the world needs you to be rich‘.

Goal setting ideas for Social Life  

There is no doubt that we feel happier and more fulfilled when we surround ourselves with positivity and those we love and care about. Especially during the global pandemic, this has become harder but more important than ever. 

When setting your goals for 2021, be intentional about the people you want to surround yourself with, both physically and virtually. 

Where physical presence is not possible, schedule the time in your week or a month to catch up with your family or friends. It may be a virtual call, online virtual game, virtual party or just a good heart to heart conversation. 

Your relationships are important part of living a truly fulfilled life, so no matter how busy you get, make time for those you love. 

Well, for some who may be introverts and social or virtual gatherings may sound not all that appealing, consider doing some volunteering or drop by your neighbours to see if they need something. Doing community work is guaranteed to make you feel much better about yourself.
