One key ingredient to accomplishing goals are to write them down. I want to share something I have practiced and taught over the years in regards to this. Consider not just creating a list and writing out your goals , but taking this a step beyond and using a 3- Tier method
What I am suggesting will take some time and deep thought but the reward is that if you DO THIS detailed step, you WILL ACCOMPLISH your goals. The more thought and detail you put into this exercise the more likely and quickly you will achieve your goals and intentions.
To do this 3-tier method grab three sheets of paper. On the tope of each you will label one "FANTASY and DREAM goals", the second " LONG TERM goals" and the third, "SHORT TERM and immediate." Now start writing! Be as detailed as possible and don't edit your thoughts.
- FANTASTY: This is your dream page. If you could achieve everything you have ever desired, what would those things be? What does it look like? What does it feel like? What does it taste and smell like and who is with you? Where are you living? What are you doing? Be as DETAILED as possible.
- LONG TERM : This is your one year plan to help you achieve those "fantasy goals" and to make a dent in them. What needs to happen this year to make those things come to fruition? What do you need to invest your time and energy into this year?
- SHORT TERM: This is your daily, weekly, monthly plan. Again, as detailed as possible. What do you need to do every single day to make those long term goals possible? Be as specific as possible.
If done correctly, you will generate feeling and emotions during this project. The right feelings and emotions will attract the results you want by calling you to action!
Once you are done this exercise I suggest you take things a bit further and "Act as if" these long term and fantasy goals will happen. An example of this is moving to another city. If you have always wanted to live in say Miami but you are stuck in West VA, "acting as if" would involve interviewing for jobs in Miami, house or apartment shopping in Miami, getting out of your lease in WV and telling your friends you are moving! If you are not "acting as if" your goals will not ever "magically" happen!
Good luck with your 2011 goals! I would love to hear what your goals are. If you would like to share your goals or would like more information on achieving YOUR personal goals please visit my site at www.Nataliejill.com and send me an e-mail. I promise to keep you accountable and will keep you posted with tips and new blogs.
