DEFINING YOUR MEANINGFUL GOALS HOW DO YOU WANT TO ACT?

GOALS
• Accomplishments: work/career, awards/accolades, giving to others, skills, knowledge, and legacy materials (things that will remain when you are gone, such as educational materials, videos, art, and so on).
• Relationships: family (including children, parents, partners, siblings), friends, pets—any connection that has an emotional component and involves caring about another being.
• Leisure time/recreation/fun/self-care: travel, hobbies, learning for the joy of it, sports, eating better, going to the gym, and other interests that engage/inspire you.

VALUES
• Internal/intrinsic qualities: personal characteristics that you are proud of, such as being loving, caring, giving,
courageous, honest, smart, hardworking, industrious, a good provider, and more.


Now that you understand how important meaning is when setting goals, start defining your true goals and values in the categories listed below. As Frankl notes, prior achievements are important and give our lives meaning, but when facing uncertainty and adversity—such as beginning to tackle deceptive brain messages—looking toward the future is what provides meaning and motivation to persevere when times get tough.

Therefore, in this table, focus on future goals, not past ones that you have already accomplished.


DEFINING YOUR VALUES—WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE?
When times are difficult, you need to use meaningful goals as a foundation to help you persevere through adversity. At the same time, you must muster up the effort to keep going forward, even when your deceptive brain messages are at their worst. How can you generate and maintain a sufficient level of effort to achieve your goals? Let’s review some interesting scientific findings that attempt to address this question
