Goal setting is all about finding and listing your goals and then planning on how to complete them. Goal setting is a very essential factor in your personal as well as professional life. The process of goal setting in your life helps you decide on how to live your life, where you want to be, and how you want to be in the future.
We can use the SMART model to set goals. SMART stands for:-
S - Specific M - Measurable A - Achievable R - Realistic T – Time bound.
Personality is a cluster of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that make a person unique and different from others. One’s personality also affects the person’s relationships with others. A positive personality can lead to better performance, increased productivity and cordial relationships with others.
Self-awareness is about understanding one’s own needs, desires, habits, traits, behaviours and feelings. It means knowing your values, personality, needs, habits, emotions, strengths, weaknesses, etc. When we are not aware of ourselves, then we go in a direction about which we are not clear. Therefore, it is important that we must be aware of ourselves.
Stress is a state of feeling upset, annoyed (angry) and hopeless. Some times when we feel nothing is working right, we are not able to achieve our goals and feel hopeless. During such times, if we manage and control our emotions, it helps us to stress free.

Motivation is derived from the word ‘motive’. It is the process that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviors.
Two types of motivation are :-
1. Intrinsic (internal) motivation
2. Extrinsic (External) motivation
1. Intrinsic motivation:- This is when motivation comes from "internal" factors to meet personal needs. Enjoyment, satisfaction, and inner growth are examples of intrinsic motivation.
2. Extrinsic motivation:- This is when motivation comes from "external" factors that are given or controlled by others. It arises because of incentives or external rewards. Lack of motivation or incentives may lead to frustration, for example, employees who are kept on contractual basis for a long time may get frustrated and leave an organization.
