531 - A New Way to Set Goals

In this episode, we look at a new way to set goals that have a chance of being accomplished. 

What are LEAP Goals?

A goal-setting framework designed for long-term, lifestyle based goals.

What it stands for?

• Long Term
  Your goal should revolve around adjusting your lifestyle for the long term rather than trying to accomplish something specific in the short term.
• Empathetic
  Your goal needs to consider and account for the reality of your situation and position. Setting goals that are completely out of the realm of likely possibilities will just leave you feeling defeated.
• Actionable
  Your goal must be something that you can take action on in order to move forward.
• Process Focused 
  Your goal must revolve around engaging in certain behaviors regularly rather than accomplishing certain outcomes.

When to use LEAP Goals

1. When aiming for habit or lifestyle changes
2. When struggling to find motivation each day
3. When other goal-setting options aren't working
