When it comes to goals, I immediately advise you to pay attention to values. Values ​​are what matter to you, my dear ones. They reflect beliefs, priorities and what you consider important. To begin with, you need to understand whether the goals correspond to your true values, and this will allow you to reject the goals that were imposed from the outside. Because imposed goals only take away energy, and even if they are achieved, they do not bring joy.

Why do you need to know your values?

First, it is extremely important for self-esteem and self-awareness.

Knowing your own values ​​allows you to define boundaries, express your needs, express your desires and reject from your life what does not specifically correspond to your values.
Second, intrinsic goals are exactly what we really want.

These goals are realized in our lives, even if we are not always fully aware of them. For example, if your value is comfort, you will achieve it, even if it means changing jobs or giving up some obligations.

By connecting external goals with your internal values, you increase the likelihood and ease of achieving them.

And one more important point: if you don't know your inner values ​​and goals, someone else can try to tie them to your outer goals. Things, actions, or choices can easily be imposed on you, pretending that these are your values.

A person who knows values ​​and goals becomes resistant to any attempts to impose different things, actions or choices on him.
Life hack for successful goal achievement: Break big tasks into smaller, concrete steps. Instead of setting a general direction, break your goals down into small tasks and create a clear schedule with deadlines for completing them. This approach makes the process of achieving your goals less daunting and more manageable, allowing you to move forward one step at a time. It's also important to set realistic deadlines and give yourself small rewards for each part of the goal you achieve, which helps keep motivation high.
