Life Coaching for Goal Setting Help—Counseling in Chesterfield, VA

Thriveworks Chesterfield offers counseling and coaching for goal-setting help, and we have worked with many clients—helping them set goals that focus their attention upon what they value and thwart distractions.

Setting a Goal versus Dreaming a Dream

Most people have dreams about their future—ideas about what they might be, do, or accomplish someday. Dreams are important, and they are the foundations upon which goals are built. Dreams often ask, What might be? Goals then ask, How can become a reality?

Goals are the vehicle for achieving dreams. They can…

  1. Fortify people’s self-control.
  2. Keep people’s focus directed toward what matters to them.
  3. Stimulate meaningful actions.
  4. Aligning focus and behavior.
  5. Sustain momentum despite setbacks and challenges.

Aiming at Many Targets

The best goals excite and challenge people, and one way to achieve that inspiration is by setting up a variety of goals. For example, goals be for one’s

  • Attitude: Think through what kind of person you want to become. More patient? Kind? Joyful?
  • Career: What type of work do you want to be doing in five years? For the rest of your life?
  • Finances: How would you like to prioritize your money? Paying off debts? Investing in a vacation? Capitalizing on your earning potential?
  • Physical strength: Is there a health goal that would improve your quality of life?
  • Fun: What activities do you enjoy? What refreshes you? How can these be incorporated into your daily life more?
  • Family: How are your relationships with your parents, spouse, extended family, children? What can you do to improve them?
  • Education: Is there something you want to learn or explore?
  • Artistic growth: Do you want to learn how to paint? Reignite your love for writing? Play the guitar more?

Setting a goal does not have to be a miserable process. Keeping goals varied and fun can make the process easier.

What Makes a Healthy Goal?

Good goals are grounded in people’s talents, skills, and values. One way that life coaches and counselors help people in their goal-setting is by helping them grow in their self-awareness. Goals should be challenging and stretch people, but they also need to be realistic. For example, a 45-year-old who loves basketball should probably not set a goal of making an NBA roster, but he might set a goal of attending a certain amount of NBA games.

The form the goal takes is important as well. The following are often characteristics of healthy goals:

  • Documented: Documented goals hold people’s attention and can be revisited easily.
  • Time-bound: Each goal should have a timeframe. Deadlines mean there is a specified evaluation point where people can feel the satisfaction of their achievement or make necessary adjustments.
  • Specific: Details are a goal’s best friend. For example, instead of making the goal to “eat more vegetables,” make the goal, “eat two servings of vegetables each day.”
  • Shared: Most people need help to achieve their goals. This help can come in the form of tangible support or encouragement. Either way, people who can offer support should know about the goal.
