1. THE BENEFITS OF GOALS Goals can… § determine direction § increase motivation § build self-efficacy § enhance focus
2 Goal-related pitfalls
2. GOAL-RELATED PITFALLS Counterproductive ” An excessive focus on goals can have paradoxical effects: rather than getting closer to the goal, we find ourselves moving away from it.
2. GOAL-RELATED PITFALLS Counterproductive § Goal: less negative thoughts about self? -> experience lower self-esteem (Borton, Markowitz, & Dieterich, 2005) § Goal: trying to lose weight? –> more over-eating (Herman & Mack, 1975) § Goal: fall asleep? -> stay awake (Harvey, 2003)
2. GOAL-RELATED PITFALLS Counterproductive Goal Now § 60 kg § 80 kg § awake § no diploma § small apartment TOO MUCH AWARENESS OF DISCREPANCY § sleeping § diploma § house
2. GOAL-RELATED PITFALLS Counterproductive Goal Now § 60 kg § 80 kg § awake § no diploma § small apartment FRUSTRATION BECAUSE OF DISCREPANCY § sleeping § diploma § house
2. GOAL-RELATED PITFALLS Counterproductive Now Goal § 80 kg § 60 kg DECREASED ATTENTION FOR AND THUS LOWER QUALITY OF § no diploma PRESENT MOMENT ACTIVITY § sleeping § awake § small apartment § diploma § house
2. GOAL-RELATED PITFALLS Less attention for the now § goals = future § future = thought § a lot of attention for goals = a lot of thoughts
2. GOAL-RELATED PITFALLS Less attention for the now The now: = merely a way to get to the next moment = never as important as the goal = never good enough
2. GOAL-RELATED PITFALLS Less attention for the now § value of “now” depends on goal contribution § difficult to see the true value of each moment § even “aimless” moments can be enriching
2. GOAL-RELATED PITFALLS Less attention for the now Future Now
2. GOAL-RELATED PITFALLS Less attention for the now Future Now
2. GOAL-RELATED PITFALLS Fear and worry ” A lot of attention for goals means that we spend a great amount of time in our head: thinking.
2. GOAL-RELATED PITFALLS Fear and worry Neutral/positive thoughts: ü “what is on my to-do list? ” ü “if I manage to…I can…” ü “when shall I finish…? ”
2. GOAL-RELATED PITFALLS Fear and worry Negative thoughts: ü “What if I don’t succeed? ” ü “I am not sure if everything will work out fine. ” ü “I cannot permit myself to fail. ”
2. GOAL-RELATED PITFALLS The happiness illusion ” Many goals are set because we believe that achieving them will make us happier
2. GOAL-RELATED PITFALLS The happiness illusion § overestimating the anticipated impact of future events (impact bias) § we get used to what we achieve (hedonic adaption) § short-lived happiness
