From there you will need a GPS to help you get there, reports Psychology Today. You already know what you want and you have visuals to remind you of those goals. But what happens when you fall off track? And you will, because you are human. Just as the GPS in your car is there for you when you take a wrong turn or get a little lost, a life GPS can help put you back on track when you need a little guidance. This so-called GPS is really a set of techniques, tactics and guidelines to help you navigate life’s obstacles. Develop coping mechanisms to help you work through the struggles so you can stay on course to your ideal future. Allow yourself to get sidetracked and to pull over and calm down when life gets frustrating or stressful. When it comes to setting goals, don’t freak out out about unexpected detours and above all, never forget why you are working so hard to reach your ultimate destination in life. Your happiness is at stake, and with goal setting, you’re taking the first steps to achieving a great future.
