We will get into the goals soon but I do quickly want to chat about helpful goal setting tips and tricks. Making a conscious effort to be disciplined, reasonable, and detailed with goal setting is so important!
Helpful tips and advice for setting goals that you can achieve in less than one month:

- Keep your monthly goals list visible so that you can have daily motivation and inspiration to keep working on them.
- Always be patient with yourself if you don’t hit a goal by it’s deadline. It’s so much better to have tried and missed than to have not tried at all.
- Be realistic about the amount of time you really have in the month to complete your goals. Are they even goals that can be completed in a month?
- But also don’t underestimate yourself- you are capable of achieving incredible things!

23 Goals That You Can Achieve In Less Than One Month
Short term monthly goals to try:
Goal 1: Start talking to yourself positively.
Positive self talk is essential for improving your mental wellness. So set goals for talking to yourself positively, you can start with something as simple as saying 5 nice things to yourself every morning! You can achieve this goal in less than a month with consistently working on it.
Goal 2: Complete a 30 day challenge
This may seem obvious but 30 day challenges are great ideas for a goal you can do in one month. And it doesn’t have to be health and fitness related! Head over to Pinterest and look up “30 day challenge” + whatever topic you are interested in.
Goal 3: Learn a stress coping mechanism that works for you.
Finding a way that works for you to handle stress is a very helpful self growth idea as well as good for your mental wellness. I have a post on 30 ways to relax when you’re stressed and the habits of less stressed people that could help you with this goal!
Goal 4: Read a nonfiction book.
Reading is so important for personal development and just generally for your life! I recommend getting a Kindle so you can easily get a new book every month. Or you can read more often of course but one book a month is a great personal development goal.
Goal 5: Improve your body language for self improvement.
Self improvement means improving every part of yourself including how you present yourself. By learning to present yourself clearly and confidently through body language you can really improve yourself.
Goal 6: Do a one month habit journal.
Habit journals are a fantastic way to help you really starting building new, positive habit. So grab one like this and start building those habits!

Goal 10: Get out of your comfort zone at least once.
Escaping your comfort zone is an essential part of self growth. It’s so important that I have a full guide on it here! But I recommend trying to do at least one thing to get out of your comfort zone every month.
Goal 11: Do a social media audit.
This normally only takes a weekend and it can be so helpful! Take the time this month to unfollow anyone who doesn’t bring you joy on social media and determine and audit what social media you are consuming. Really think about how each account and platforms as a whole make you feel.
Goal 12: Start journaling.
This is potentially a goal you have heard a lot of other people suggest and that is because journaling has so many benefits! If you are only picking one goal from this list I definitely recommend considering this one.
Goal 13: Stick to a budget for the month.
Budgeting is a goal that you probably know is helpful so I won’t go over that too much but I do have a free monthly budget that you can check out here to help with this goal!
Goal 14: Find the self care items that are the best for you.
Self care is so important for helping you unwind and practice self love. But you have probably seen lists of hundreds of self care item ideas! So it’s helpful to set this goal to find the self care items that work the best for you. Take a few days this month to accomplish this goal of knowing what self care items are best for you.
Goal 15: Start saying daily affirmations.
This usually only takes a week or two to start becoming a habit. And starting or ending your days with daily affirmations can be wonderful for your mental wellness! Here are some self care affirmations you could start out with.
Goal 16: Find the things that motivate you the most.
Finding what motivates and drives you is one of the best personal development goals you can set. Taking the time to learn what really pushes you means you can use that to achieve more and work towards your dreams! Knowing your motivation can be life changing for accomplishing your life long goals.
Goal 17: Pick a bad habit and work on eliminating it.
Eliminating bad habits is a common self growth goal and it’s common for a reason- because it is so important! I recommend doing this goal by working on one bad habit at at time. I have a post on this that might be able to help you out: How To Break a Bad Habit in One Month.
Goal 18: Participate in a community event.
Getting involved in your community is a goal I hear a lot so putting the timeline of doing it in the next month can be the kick in the butt that you may need!
Goal 19: Learn to practice regular gratitude.
The next of the personal development goals is to practice regular and consistent gratitude. My best tip for doing this goal successfully is to get a daily gratitude journal.
