• W71158104 abstract "AFTER ADMINISTERING preliminary diagnostic exams (uncovering problems in grammar and usage), generally assign the goal essay as the first graded assignment. Because students draw upon their own experience, the goal essay provides them with opportunities to use specific concrete examples, fulfilling the desired outcome of using examples as an expository technique. ask students to concentrate on specific personal development goals or specific relationship goals and to focus on one problem or perceived deficit that they wish to remedy. To help students identify problems they want to correct, ask them during an in-class exercise to provide ten adjectives describing themselves at their current stage of personal development. Typically, a student might respond with the following list of higher order abstraction adjectives: * Shy * Forgetful * Late for appointments * Indecisive * Careless * Lazy * Tendency to procrastinate * Hot-tempered * Obese * Stubborn then ask students to pick one of those adjectives and discard the rest. After having listed ten adjectives, students will often indicate one problem that proves more annoying than the rest. For example, if a student chooses indecisive as the descriptor, encourage the student to identify specific incidents in which he or she has demonstrated this behavior, in order to avoid the less factual, but predictable is-of-identity description, I am indecisive. The IFD Disease A need for perfection can inhibit progress toward a goal. For example, as the student considers setting the goal to become more decisive, the tendency to view decisiveness as an absolutistic, perfectionist ideal makes goal setting unnecessarily daunting. Understanding the IFD disease will help reduce perfectionist paralysis. In his book, People in Quandaries, Wendell Johnson proposes a theory to explain why individuals become so overwhelmed by self-improvement programs. (Johnson, p. 14.) He refers to an affliction that enslaves and paralyzes much of humanity. Johnson termed this affliction the IFD disease. IFD stands for Idealism, Frustration, Despair, a predictable sequence that moves the hapless victim down a destructive spiral. We could explain the acronym as: People set their goals or ideals impossibly high or beyond reach. F They feel frustrated or a sense of futility in falling short of their expectations. D They feel demoralized and defeated, and do not desire to continue. Johnson has taught us that we cannot grasp the big picture unless we first see a series of small pictures. In the context of goal setting. refers to vague and hazily defined goals--goals that we do not measure in bite-sized chunks or increments. F refers to the predictable frustration and anxiety we feel because we have not made intermediate, incremental objectives clear in our own minds. D refers to the despair we feel in falling short of attaining these absolutistic goals. Small Steps When our goals for overcoming a specific problem are not spelled out in incremental, intermediate steps, we can expect the outcome to be demoralization and worry. Motivational expert Paul Meyer describes anxiety about the future as a penalty paid in advance for failure or wrongdoing we have not yet committed. Conversely, he defines success as the progressive realization of a predetermined, worthwhile goal. (Meyer, Dynamics of Personal Motivation, p.21.) Susan and Bruce Kodish, in their chapter on Getting Extensional suggest that simply changing the emphasis from being to doing makes any task less daunting and brings about a great deal of emotional improvement. …" @default.
