30 Affirmations for Setting and Achieving Goals

Are goal setting affirmations important?

I would give that question a definitive, “yes”.

Sometimes affirmations can be a mixed bag. They can help some people, but will give give others a false sense of ‘mission accomplished'. But goal setting affirmations are a little bit different.

To achieve goals one of the important factors is to stay aware of your goals at all times and do all the little things that will help you to reach your goals.

When you use daily goal setting affirmations it keeps your goals right where they should be: in the front of your mind.

Why Affirmations are Important for Goal Setting

Regular use of goal affirmations will help (1) to condition your mind to help you achieve the goals you have set and (2) to stop procrastination by providing a clear and specific focus for your efforts.

After all, setting goals is not the hard part, sticking to your goals and achieving them is the hard part.

It takes planning, focus, perseverance, foresight, dedication, visualization, and hard work to achieve any worthwhile goals. Affirmations help you achieve the focus and visualization parts of reaching your goals.

How to Set Goals that Succeed

Talking about visualization though goal setting and focus affirmations is sort of jumping into the middle of a story.

We are telling you about an important PART of how to properly set goals without going into all the details on how to set goals.

Let's remedy that:

If you are not already an expert at setting goals that succeed, lets give you all the resources you could possibly need to succeed.

The first thing you need to know is the style of goal you are looking at. Is it a process goal or an outcome goal. These are two very different ways of approaching your goals so this should always come first.

The second thing you need to know is what type of goal are you looking to achieve. First this means when you want to achieve the goal: immediate, short term, 6 month, one year, five year, long term.

Secondly you want to balance the type of goals you choose: (personal, professional, self improvement, financial, health, fitness etc.) The reason for this is that it is important to maintain balance in our goal setting.

The final tool for goal setting success is a really good overview of how to actually set and achieve any goal.

Without further ado, here are 30 good goal setting affirmations to help you get a clear visualization of the success of your goals and how to go about reaching that point.

Looking for Worthy Goals?

Maybe you do not have that many goals in your life. If so why not?

None of us are perfect, part of being a functional adult is trying to do the little things that make us incrementally better.

We may never become, “perfect” but that doesn't mean we can't strive to be better than we are now.

For me, improvements usually come in the form of habits. Both starting new good habits and stopping older bad habits (and replacing them with those good habits).
