keep your goals to youself
imagine :check:
personal goal
telling someone
their congratulations
decide to do goal
how you feel
good to say out loud
one step closer
part of your identity
shouldn't have said anything
good feeling makes you less likely to complete goal
psychology tests
proven that when you tell someone your goal youre less likely to achieve it
social reality
mind being tricked into thinking the goal is already done
goals need work to feel that you've achieved them, but telling someone and them acknowledging it, gives you the same feeling
1926: Kurt Lewin, founder of social psychology
substitution
1933: Wera Mahler
found when it was acknowledged by others, it felt real in the mind
1982: Peter Gollwitzer
wrote a whole book about this
in 2009 published new tests
example test by peter gollwitzer
163 people across 4 separate tests
everyone write down personal goal
half announce, half dont
given 45 min to work toward goal, stop whenever
non-announcers worked the whole time and still felt far from goal
announcers worked 33 min and felt closer to achieving goal
if this is true, what do you do
understand your mind mistakes talking for doing
delay the gratification social acknowledgement brings
state it in a way that brings you no satisfaction
i really want to run this marathon so i need to train 5 times a week and kick my ass if i dont okay?
resist temptation to announce
next time you're tempted to tell someone your goal what will you say? :red_cross:
nothing
the key is the same as it always is on my coggles
