You may hear or use the word need a lot. You may need a new jacket or that new CD. Your parents may say you need a haircut. These things may feel like needs, but, in fact, they are desires or wants, not needs.
What are some needs and feelings people share?
All people must find ways to meet their basic physical needs for shelter, food, water, and air. Basic physical needs aren't right or wrong, good or bad. They are simply facts of life. We all have basic emotional needs as well, including the need for love, security, and a place to belong. Most children live in families where their parents or other adult family members meet their basic needs. Imagine how different your life would be if your basic needs were not met. Would you still think about needing a CD or a haircut?
When your basic needs are met, you begin to move in the direction of health—the condition of feeling good physically, mentally, and emotionally. Now you can start to think about your desires, and you can set goals for yourself. You can begin to move toward wellness—a state of good health. Why do you think your most basic needs must be met before you can focus on other needs and desires?
How can setting goals help you meet your needs?
Sometimes it appears that some people have all the luck. They seem to get whatever they want with little or no effort. In truth, though, this situation happens mostly on TV. In real life people who make their dreams a reality usually work hard and understand goal setting—the process of choosing a goal and taking the steps to make it happen.
When you were younger, you probably spent a lot of time wishing for things—a special holiday to arrive or a certain present for your birthday, for example. It was up to other people, mostly your family, to try to make those wishes come true for you.
Now you are getting older, and you are becoming more responsible for yourself and what happens in your life. You don't have to rely on wishing anymore. You can still have dreams, but you can be the one to make them come true. Of course, there are some things you can't change, no matter how much you would like to do so—your height or the color of your eyes, for example. It's good to accept those parts of yourself that you can't change and to remember that there are many other things you can change. Learning how to set and reach goals is a good way to take charge of your life.
What is your goal for this week? What are your goals for one year from now? Five years from now? Ten years from now? Goals that can be met in a short amount of time are called short-term goals. When you say, "I will finish my book report by Friday," you are setting a short-term goal. When you say, "I am going to be an author when I grow up," you are setting a long-term goal. It will be many years before you reach that goal, but you can start working toward it now.
Think about goal setting this way. If you and your family wanted to take a car trip across the country and arrive at your destination in two months, would you set out without a map? Probably not. You would take along a road map to guide you from place to place until you reached your final destination. Your stops along the way would be short-term goals that moved you closer to your long-term goal.
Many people set long-term fitness goals. To help them reach their goals, some of these people
work with athletic instructors. Athletic instructors help them set safe short-term goals they can meet as they work toward their long-term goals.
Imagine that your long-term goal is to go to college. Imagine also that you tend to wait until the last minute to complete assignments and study for tests. Setting a short-term goal to improve your study skills could help you improve your grades and bring you one step closer goal of going to college.
to your long-term goal of going to college.
As a way to reach your short-term goal, you could make the following study plan for yourself:
Write down each assignment and its due date. Write down the dates of all tests.
Estimate how much time you need to spend on each assignment to do a good job. Then figure out how much total time you need to spend on your schoolwork each day.
When you have turned in your assignments and taken your tests, think about how well you did. What might you do differently next time? Above all, take time to feel proud of yourself.
REMEMBER...Once your basic needs are met, you can begin to set goals for yourself. The ability to set goals shows you are beginning to take responsibility for yourself. When you know how to set goals, you have a way to make things happen in your life.
