AVOID THE WHAT-THE-HELL EFFECT

Setting your goal can be nice way for you in improving your performance. But this is not for the cases when you fall out in a spiteful little side-effect.

Let’s take dieting for example. Consider that you have set a daily amount of calorie intake and you are planning to keep this for some days but unexpectedly, your peers brought you to a restaurant one day. That resulted to a situation wherein you are having a meal in restaurant, rather than a healthy one at home. And before arriving there, your group dropped by to a bar to buy and eat some snacks and drinks. By that time, you are already near to your calorie intake boundary. Then, inside the restaurant, you have decided to have some bread and drink rather than the other menus. You have also decided to order salad, but there is something that attracts you to have a steak menu. Then, you will realize that you have already violated the amount of calorie intake that you are suppose to have. What the hell, you will take the steak menu.

This gives you the picture that sometimes as you go along in reaching you goal, things unexpectedly go out of the window as you enjoy a moment of madness.

The “what the hell effect” is not just a momentary lapse or a sudden lack of self control. Instead, it is greatly related into missing a goal. This has been discovered by the expert psychologists in their proficient studies.

Everyone should avoid this what-the-hell effect. The what-the-hell effect is not just applicable for dieters, it also related in setting your goals. It can be about shopping, money, alcohol or other areas into which you have set your limitations. It is always expected that when you have this limitation, you will do all your best to maintain it during the first days. But later, loses control over it.

In order to fight back against this what-the-hell effect, it is important that you should know the situations when this effect takes place.

When you have set short term goals like tomorrow or today, compared to those next month or next week and you are trying to do something in order to stop a bad habit, these are the times that the what-the-hell effect should be considered.

The statement above suggests that you must establish longer-term goals and transforming such goals from the inhibition aspect into the acquisition aspect. Maybe you will think that transforming goals from short terms to longer terms will be easy but transforming such goals from inhibitional into acquisitional will be of different degree.

An example of this case is the alcoholic individuals. Alcoholics are surely trying to quit from drinking which is an inhibitional goal, but this goal is transformed into an acquisitional type when they are going to consider the number of days they are sober. With this case, they will be trying to have more non-drinking days as much as possible.

This method can be use by many people, like the dieters. They can consider the number of days instead of other things. Others like the procrastinators can forget for a while about idling and focus more in producing certain quantity of work daily.
