New Goals.
Blog post: Setting Achievable Resolutions for Individuals with Disabilities.
At True Living, we believe that setting goals is important for individuals to recognise their aspirations so we can support them in achieving them. In this blog post, we’ll explore the significance of goal-setting and provide a step-by-step guide on how to structure and achieve meaningful goals tailored to your journey with True Living.
Goals serve as guidelines that highlight the path toward independence and personal fulfilment. Within the True Living community, goals become a powerful tool for empowerment, shaping a journey that reflects an individual’s unique aspirations and desires.
Steps to Structuring and Achieving Goals:
- Reflect on Your Aspirations:
- Take the time to reflect on any aspirations that have come to mind recently.
- What specific achievements or lifestyle changes align with your vision?
- Identify Short-Term and Long-Term Goals:
- Distinguish between short-term and long-term goals to create a roadmap for success.
- Short-term goals provide immediate direction, while long-term goals offer a broader perspective.
- Utilise the SMART Criteria:
- Structure your goals using the SMART criteria – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.
- Define each goal clearly, set measurable targets, ensure achievability, relevance to your vision, and establish a realistic timeframe.
- Break Down Larger Goals:
- Divide larger goals into smaller, manageable steps.
- Breaking down goals helps to create achievable milestones, making the path to success more tangible and less overwhelming.
- Collaborate with True Living Support:
- Engage with your support network/team to align your goals with available resources and services.
- If you’re within the True Living community, you know we are here to empower your journey, providing the support and guidance needed to achieve your aspirations.
- Regularly Review and Adjust Goals:
- Regularly review your goals to track progress and identify areas for adjustment.
- Adaptability is key; life evolves, and so should your goals. Make adjustments as needed to stay on the path to success.
True Living is committed to fostering an environment where your victories are recognised and applauded. Whether it’s mastering a new skill, achieving a personal milestone, or experiencing a breakthrough in your journey toward independence, we celebrate each step forward.
Here’s to a year filled with the triumph of achieving True Living goals, the empowerment of independence, and the unwavering spirit of resilience!
