My Guide To Setting Long Lasting Goals

1. Write them down. The act of setting your goals down on paper begins to program them into the subconscious mind which in turn begins to work towards achieving them. 2. Remember to use the five senses plus emotion . Use your imagination and describe your goals as vividly as possible, like they were already a reality. Describe them using your five senses and add heaps of emotion. Emotion adds massive power to your goals. 3. Be very specific. The clearer you are about what you want in life the more readily it will manifest itself. 4. Write your goals in the present tense , as if you have already achieved them. Say “I am” not “I am going to”. 5. Be 100% committed to the things you want to achieve , especially to your goals. A big reason for under achievement is lack of commitment caused by not being sure if the goal is really what is desired. If you achieve your goals and decide that you want something else, then go for that! 6. Choose goals and targets that stretch your abilities and yet are within what you believe to be possible. 7. Make sure your Goal Book is well balanced. It is important to set a variety of long and short term goals for all areas of your life to ensure a sense of balance. Some areas include: Self Image, Career, Health, Personal Growth, Leisure, Relationships and Prosperity. 8. Allow for more or better – expect the unexpected . Often the universe will supply you in unexpected ways. Always allow for something better than what you are expecting by concluding your goals with: “This or something better”. 9. Be sure to have a completion date. It is important that you set a date for the completion of your goals to lock in your commitment and desire. 10. Reward Yourself. Upon reaching or achieving your goal it is great to reward yourself. The recognition of your success will strengthen and increase your self-image and help you build a success program, this then contributes to the realisation of your other goals. 11. With short term goals, be realistic. Don’t set them too high, or you’ll end up feeling discouraged. It’s better to take a short, reachable step and then set a new goal, to create a feeling of confidence. 12.With long term goals be expansive and idealistic . Let your imagination open and up and reach for the highest. This will inspire you. 13. Put your main focus on the essence of the goal . For example, don’t aim to win the lottery if you really want the lifestyle associated with it. Target the essence of your desire, and don’t worry about the details, those may change. 14. Don’t be compulsive about your goals. Don’t try to make them happen. Hold them lightly, relax and let them happen at their own pace and in their own way. Turn them over to your highest self to create them, and let go. 15. Be flexible. You will probably find that many of your goals change frequently, but there is an essence in the most important ones that remains the same, and helps to guide you close to your highest purposes.
