Goal Setting Worksheet

Happy Wednesday, everybody. It's a happy Wednesday here at Cadre. Welcome in, everyone. It's Dan, coach Dan and Cadre. Welcome to my live stream. Today, we'll give it a minute for peeps to hop on here. Cadre notifies everybody when we hop on, so we give them a minute to do that. Our programmers have been working away to make this app as fantastic as it is. I want to take a minute to welcome any new users that are here. We welcome you, and welcome to the Cadre family. We really are a family here of like minded people who have come together to share health and wellness on a safe platform.

So welcome if you're here through the friends one code special. Welcome to you. We are really, really happy to have you on board, and I look forward to seeing all of your comments and interacting with you here on the app. This is a really, really fantastic movement that's happening now, and it's an exciting thing to be a part of. Here at Cadre, we like to focus on goal setting big time, not only as a family of creators on the app, we're setting our internal goals, our personal goals, our goals as creators here in Cadre.

And so I wanted to take a minute in the middle of the week to talk about goal setting and give you a tool that I use when I coach my clients and offer it to you to use whenever you'd like. You can get a printed copy or a digital copy of this list. We'll make that available to you on the platform. Here, I'll do a pre recorded video and include it as a document that you can use yourself. So what I'm referring to is a goal setting worksheet that I use. And so, just to take a second before we dive in to talk about goal setting and January, and today, in a meeting earlier this month, we talked about the specific day in January where most people will bail on their goals, on their resolutions.

And it's an interesting time of the month. And I just want to acknowledge that and let you know that if you're one of those people who had expectations and you set goals and you have resolutions and you veered away from them and you've thrown in the towel, don't pull the towel back out, wrap it around yourself and keep going. It's never too late to jump back on track. Never, ever, ever. I was a smoker. I smoked cigarettes since I was in college, all the way until I was in my thirties. And quitting was one of the hardest things I ever did.

But I kept quitting. Never, ever quit quitting. I failed so many times. So many times. But I succeeded once. And it's because of all those failures that I got to the point where I was able to, to have success not smoking. Now I've got some other health goals that I'm looking at walking into 2023 and what a fantastic place to be to get help with all of that and support with all of that and join a group of like minded people who are all moving in a direction to be better. All right, so let's talk about the worksheet.

I want to hold it up, but you're going to get a mirrored image here because the camera's giving you a mirrored image. So this is the form we're going to do four columns. Okay? So the headings across the top are category. And down the category line, we're dividing your life into the different groups of focus, right? So you've got your family, you have your friends, you've got work, school, spirituality, your body, your mental health, your mind. And then I like to leave a few blank. So on the first column, you've got the category at the top.

And then all of the different areas that you want to focus on. Family, friends, work in school, spirituality, your physical, your body and your mental, your mind, a couple at the bottom if you want to fill in your own. Moving over to the next column at the top, what am I doing? Well, okay. You want to look at, you want to look back at things that you had success in, right. A lot of times when we're trying to achieve a goal, we're working. We're working toward change and we haven't succeeded. But there were things that we did that helped, things that we did that really made a difference.

And so don't throw those out. Don't keep recreating the wheel. Gather up those things that worked before and focus on them now. When you're moving ahead, looking at things that have worked well is something we like to focus on. In coaching. I ask clients all the time, what have you done before that? Can you think of a time where this was an issue, before that you had any success, that you did anything that worked? A lot of times we forget about that stuff. So on that first column, we've got our categories.

The next column, what am I doing? Well, in each one of those areas, the next column is what you want to do to improve. So you're looking at the category, what you're doing. Well, what you want to improve on is the next column. And for each one of those categories, you want to go and identify how you want to improve in those areas. Be specific. Be as specific as possible. And then finally the fourth column will be your goals. And that is your goals, what you want to achieve. Be specific. We talk about smart goals in coaching, so you want to set realistic goals that you can measure, you can achievable in a set amount of time.

So we'll talk about smart goals coming up on another live, maybe. Let me write that down. Smart goals. And so there you have it. You've got your four columns. When you look at each one of these columns, it kind of gives a sense of order when I look at it as an organizer. So here at Cadre, I'm like, you know, if an organizer and a cook and a coach walked into a health and wellness app, I want you get. Hey, Katie. Welcome. Katie is another family member here on Cadre. Good to see you. So using this worksheet will help.

I myself love to have things written down. I'm a big fan of technology when it works, but I'm a bigger fan of the old school method when it comes to lists and goals. I love to see it written down. I love to hold it in my hand. I like to be able to cross things off, make notes. We can do that all digitally. I know, but for some of us old school folks, I really love the just having it in my hand. So I hope this goal setting worksheet, the system works for you. If you have something that you're using that you're experiencing success with or in, share it in the comments here.

If you'd like to see more content from me, follow give me a thumbs up. We'd love the comments. Leave them and let us know what we can do to help you further here on Cadre. Katie, thanks for signing in. It was great to see you. Everybody else, thank you for being here. Go out, get yourself a worksheet, set some goals. Look at what worked.
