Successfully Reaching Your Goals
You may or may not have a set of written goals. If you do not, then I strongly urge you to make a written set of goals and clarify what you want to achieve.
Remember times when you accomplished your goals. Was there any doubt? No. You probably were probably very sure about yourself and never had a doubt that it would happen.
It was the second wasn’t it? Successful people know their plans will work and that they will be successful. You must Know it is going to happen and that you will succeed. Knowing with a capital K; that solid feeling in the pit of your stomach that you will make happen and you cannot fail. Expect it to happen and know there is no other way. It will happen. This Knowing gives you drive and commitment to see you through to the success of your goal.
One of the greatest ways to develop this strong feeling is by using visualization.
You probably already use this powerful technique in your life. Many of us run through things in our heads before actually doing them.
Visualization is a very effective technique. It works for many areas of life, but it takes practice for it to be effective.
Visualization works like this.
First, choose one particular goal that you have.
Second, imagine it in your head.
Third, using all of your senses, visualize what your life would be like if you already accomplished it. Make a movie in your head and insert yourself right in there, on the beach, in your new home or whatever. What are you smelling, seeing, hearing, touching etc…
Fourth, spend at least ten minutes being there. If doubtful thoughts present themselves, eliminate them and stay positive. If you find yourself drifting to other thoughts, simply bring yourself back into this movie.
Remember this movie throughout your day. In life, we get what we think about all day long. If we can keep our mind on what it will feel like after we have reached our goals, the universe will get us there. What we are really doing here is installing software on our brain that will program us for success.
With some goals you may want to keep them private. If you are trying to get fit and your friends know you have been less than energetic in the past when you tell them your goal, they will laugh and joke and not believe you. This doubt and disbelief can affect your belief in yourself and in your goal, which in turn can lead to failure to achieve the goal.
Don’t let the discouraging feedback of those around you come into this equation. Keep your goals to yourself. It will be fun to see their reaction and hear their feedback upon seeing you reach those goals. Show them. Don’t tell them.
Insisting On Success
Insist on success. One powerful method to take us to our goals faster, is to tell our mind that we will get there over and over. Positive affirmations, repeated, really work. They send a message to that quiet part of our brain that directs us.
You must write these affirmations of a sheet of paper for yourself. Use motivating language and make it crystal clear, with amounts and exact dates for achieving your goals. It is not enough to say you want to earn alot of money. Instead, say I will earn $10,000 per month by July of this year.
If you are very clear and exact, you send instructions to your mind that are precise and it knows what to do and when to do it by.
If the goal is to lose 10 pounds by the end of the year, we need an action plan to get us to this goal and to make it happen. In this case the action plan may be to reduce our chocolate intake and increase the amount of fruits and vegetables we consume. The action plan is made up of a series of milestones. For example, if there are 5 months until the end of the year then our milestones would be to lose 2 pounds each month.
Small Steps
It is okay to have big dreams like wanting to be a millionaire by the age of 40.
This goal can be very daunting to look at, perhaps even enough for you to give up and not strive to achieve it. To overcome this, you break your goal down into a number of smaller, more manageable steps.
Mega goals are great, but it is important to divide them down unto smaller, realistic goals and assign them action steps to accomplish.
Our mind can grasp the small steps and believe in our ability to get there. These small wins go a long way towards building our belief level.
Review your big and small goals each and every day. That way your subconscious mind remains focused on them and remember: We Get What We Think About The Most. It is also important to review these goals often and make little adjustments, so you are not repeating mistakes over and over.
Everyone wants to achieve their goals, but you must do the work. Attack goal setting with belief, stay committed, plan your work and you will see your dreams become reality in your life. Make the committment. You deserve to succeed and experience your dreams.
