25 Must Ask Questions When Goal Setting
Let’s be honest, goal setting can be difficult! While all goals should be SMART (Specific Measurable Attainable Relevant & Timely), it is equally necessary to leverage subjective questions allowing yourself to really dig in and set some dynamic goals. We have compiled a list of some of our faves, sit down and journal, or get together with a couple accountability buddies or your partner, and discuss:
- What does your ideal day look like?
- What did you want to be when you were younger?
- Who are you most inspired by? Why?
- What habit would you most like to break/ start?
- Think of a person you truly admire. What qualities do you like about that person?
- How do you like to relax?
