If you’re new to the world of personal development and goal setting, then you may be wondering what it is and how to go about goal setting. In this article, you will learn what’s goal setting and how you might just be doing goal setting already.

When you awake in the morning to go to work in time, this is goal setting. The process of setting your alarm to get up, washing your clothes the night before, and preparing for work are all part of goal setting.

In the dictionary the term goal means the end of the race or the object of effort. These points are important. Another word we have is set. To set means to put or place in specified position or condition; cause to sit; fix, point, put up; make ready; become firm or fixed, establish; prescribe, allot; arrange while wet, so that it dries in position.

That last point is an important one. If we think about sand and cement, we add water, and it sets, it becomes concrete. This is the essence of what is goal setting. You have an objective, and with the right ingredients, you make a product, your goal.

A goal can be thought of as an end step. What do you want exactly? Answering this question gives you the understanding of what the goal you want to set is. Another term we have the ability to call this other than the end step is the outcome. So if you think of a concert. Now the travel isn’t the end goal, but being in the concert, listening to the band is the end step, the outcome. Literally, you walked steps, and the end step was the concert.

Understanding what is goal setting is pretty much easy. You have a goal. But, what about the setting part of things? To really comprehend what is goal setting, we must look at the set part.

For many people goals are a part of life. Though there’s a huge distinction. For example someone wanting to get to work in time, may be doing a form of goal setting, but this type of goal isn’t what we are thinking about when we say what’s goal setting.

So, what’s goal setting exactly? There is a massive difference, and that difference is either doing it consciously or unconsciously. When you consciously goal set, you are setting goals that you’ve decided upon. You say you want this, that or other.

This is important as it means you are choosing the direction. Only a small portion of the population does this. Current conscious goal setting is done by only 4-7% of people. And the success rate is approximately 50%. For example out of 100 people 4-7 of them will set a goal, to reach something, to be something, to get something. Out of that 4-7 people only 2-3 will achieve.

It may seem slim chances. But consider that you’ve a 50% of a chance of achieving some goal you set, compared to the 96-93% who never set goals. It is the only thing that will give you the greatest leverage to move forward and that is to be consciously deciding on what you want.

The figures do not stop there however. Only 1% of those 100 people will achieve a financial goal, such as becoming a multimillionaire, and truly prosperous. You might say why goal set. The answer is in what is goal setting. Setting goals is the only way to increase your chances of living the life of your dreams.

Stress is an overlooked reason people have health problems. Reducing stress is guaranteed to give you a healthier life and can prevent future health problems!

Stress!!!

Most of us feel some kind of stress each day.

The dictionary defines stress as physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension. Everyday 87% of the population lives under this type of stress. We worry about money, kids, jobs, our spouse or significant other and hundreds of other things on a daily basis.

Just driving to the corner store can cause tension as you dodge that crazy driver or see the price of gas at the pump.

Some people are very aware of the strain and tension in their life, but many of us live with stress that we don’t see or are unwilling to admit we’ve. We just go about our daily life thinking this is the way it is supposed to be, the norm.

We build our lives and behaviors around stress. Even kids and especially teens have stress. They worry about their friends, their weight, if they are wearing the right clothes or if they’ve a zit (acne).

More Medical Problems are caused by Stress than anything else!

Learning the right way to relax and reduce tension can help your body work better and create a healthier life. Your body’s natural processes are affected by stress. Stress can be a killer and reducing your stress should be a top priority in your life.

Stress can cause:

1. Your Body to Age: – Which means all your cells and organs are getting old before their time. When your stomach ages, food sits in it longer and can start to spoil before its even digested. This can lead to colon problems. Your skin and heart can also be affected by stress.

2. Sugar to Build Up: – When humans were hunters and gatherers, they had stress when they were being stalked by a predator. The body understood this stress and released sugars for instant energy so we could flee or fight. Now, when the stress causes the sugars to release, we don’t use them for energy. They go unused and the body stores them as fat instead.

3. Your Blood to Thicken: – Thicker blood grants it to carry more oxygen to help with our fight or flight as previously mentioned. Again we do not use this feature as nature originally intended and now thicker blood only starts the process of building up plaque on the walls of our arteries.

4. Increased Number of Diseases: – Stress depresses the immune system. Colds and viruses are more common in stressed people. Viruses can cause some cancers, thus keeping a strong healthy immune system is a must. Stress has also been linked to Parkinson’s disease.

99% of all Disease is caused by Stress!

When your body senses stress, it automatically gets you ready to run or fight. This is just part of your biological makeup.

First, the natural response causes the stomach and colon to shut down. – Extra blood is needed by the body and it takes it from the stomach and colon. – With no blood, these organs age faster. – Food that was being digested now just sits there and starts to rot. You end up with rotten food in your colon. As you can envision, eating rotten food can make you sick, so can having it sitting in your body. – 90% of your immune system is battling disease in the colon. Ask any doctor who does autopsies about people’s colons. It’s not a pretty picture.

Second, your metabolism changes. – The body needs energy and it needs protein. – It goes to the muscles to get it. – If you don’t replace the protein and all the amino acids and enzymes, you lose muscle. – You lose body shape when you lose muscle. – The body replaces the muscle with FAT!

I’ve just described a majority of the human population.

We are stressed out and because of the stress we’re battling colds, the flu, allergies, you name it because of our reduced immune system. So What Can I Do to avoid this downward spiral?

Dealing with stress is something we have the ability to manage. There are many steps that can reduce stress and when that becomes too difficult, there are things we have the ability to do to counteract the negative effects stress has on our bodies.

First and foremost, the best way to alleviate the problems associated with stress is to get rid of the stress in our lives.

Some things you can do include learning relaxation techniques and ridding yourself of stressful habits. Everyone is different and deals with everyday situations in different ways, but we can all learn to reduce the stress in our life. Second, because it is impossible to get rid of all stress, we need to give our bodies the things it needs to be healthy and overcome the ill effects that stress creates.

These can include:

1. Provide you body with the nutrients it needs. While this sounds easy enough, when you body is under stress , the stomach shuts down so even if you’re eating a good diet, your body is not getting what it needs.

Supplementation is the answer. However, not all supplements are created equal. Make sure your supplements can be used by the body when it is under stress. This means they get the nutrients to your cells where they’re needed and not just take them on a nice ride through your digestive tract.

2. Boost your immune system.

Stress makes our bodies more susceptible to disease. It lowers the overall immunity and creates a situation where a majority of the immune system is battling disease in the colon.

3. Get more protein.

Most people do not get enough protein. Stress causes the body to need more of it and so your body raids the muscles to get what it needs. When there is nothing to replace the muscle protein it gets replaced with fat. We slowly lose our shape and definition as we lose muscle.

Adding more meat to our diet is not the ideal solution. Today, nearly all commercial meat is contaminated in some way. The beef, pork and chicken you buy from the supermarket is pumped full of antibiotics.

A better solution is soy protein. This is a plant protein that has all the amino acids a human body needs.

I read a great article once about everything I ever needed to know I learned in Kindergarten. It said something like “Live a balanced life – learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work each day some.” It’s astonishing, if we think back to when we were young and now as adults followed some of those same rules how much superior our lives could be. I can hear my Mother saying “Eat your vegetables and Take your vitamins”.

We have the ability to all learn a thing or two about life and living if we sit back and watch tiny children.

So rest, listen to your body and learn how to reduce the stress and its effects on your health. This could be the most important action you can take towards living a longer, healthier and more enjoyable life.
