1
00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:04,710
Goal setting CVT can be helpful for all kinds of conditions.

2
00:00:05,130 --> 00:00:12,600
However, before we dive into the application of CBT for specific issues, we need to decide what we

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:13,560
want to change.

4
00:00:13,830 --> 00:00:15,990
We will focus on figuring out the goals.

5
00:00:16,260 --> 00:00:21,120
You want to work toward goals that set us up for success.

6
00:00:21,570 --> 00:00:27,870
Not all goals are created equal as you are thinking about your life and the ways and anxiety and depression

7
00:00:27,870 --> 00:00:29,670
may be affecting things.

8
00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:35,040
I recommend keeping these principles in mind as you set your own goals.

9
00:00:36,030 --> 00:00:36,960
Be specific.

10
00:00:38,910 --> 00:00:45,430
It's hard to tell when you've reached a vague goal like be more involved with your kids, whereas read

11
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:46,460
at least one book.

12
00:00:46,860 --> 00:00:51,920
The day to your two year old is specific and easy to measure.

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:59,610
You should be able to tell when you've met your goals, so be sure to make them as objective as possible.

14
00:01:00,150 --> 00:01:01,590
Find the right gear.

15
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:08,730
If you make goals towards you will feel discouraged like trying to build a bike up a mountain in a gear

16
00:01:08,730 --> 00:01:09,750
that's too high.

17
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:17,520
But goals that are too easy are and inspiring, like coasting along in a gear that's too low.

18
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,650
Aim for the sweet spot.

19
00:01:19,650 --> 00:01:28,980
Moderately challenging goals you can reach with a sustained effort at choose goals you care about.

20
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:37,490
You will have a little chance of meeting our goals if they aren't important to us for each group.

21
00:01:37,530 --> 00:01:44,790
Think about why it matters to you and how we think it will improve your life along these lines.

22
00:01:44,940 --> 00:01:50,940
Make sure the goals are actually yours and not just what someone else wants you to do.
