How to Set Goals?

How to set goals? First of all, don’t confuse wishes or desires with goals. Often, people want things, situations or accomplishments, and call these goals. Then they’re disappointed when they don’t get them. Just naming your desires isn’t effective goal setting. Good goals have some or all of the following:

1. Good goals are specific. A goal like, “I want to be healthy” is too general. “I want to lose weight and walk three times a week,” is better.

2. They’re realistic. Unfortunately, even if it is possible that you could become an astronaut, if you’re already 55, you better try to become a pilot for now. Unrealistic goals set you up for failure.

3. They’re written down. Writing down your goals is a way to make them more real, and this influences your subconscious mind, especially if you review the goals regularly.

4. They’re measurable. Exactly how many pounds do you want to lose? How much money do you want to make? How will you know if your relationship is better?

Juice is the stuff of manifestation.

Juice is the stuff of manifestation.

“If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z. X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.” – Albert Einstein

Question: “What would you do if money were no object and you were assured of success?”

Juice is the stuff of manifestation. You are always creating what you most love by focusing your attention upon it. The trouble most of us have is that we are unaware that we are creating what we most want every second of every day. What’s more, we are setting ourselves up to enjoy even more by ruminating, worrying, and fretting. All that attention makes the juices flow – the juices of fear.  Juice is the stuff of manifestation.

7 simple steps to problem solved!

Here is a simple NLP exercise based on the work of Robert Dilts you can do yourself or with another to assist you in problem solving. Making use of cause and effect, you introduce an unknown (for now) resource into the equation that can help you get past your blocks to solving your own problem.

Exercise

Start with 5 sheets of paper. Write one of the following words on each sheet – Symptom, Cause, Outcome, Resource, Effect. These are your 5 anchors.

- Symptom means the set(s) of present behaviors or feelings that reflect the problem.
- Cause means the cause of the problem, as you think it is/was.
- Outcome is the outcome that you want/will have when this is no longer a problem.
- Resource is the resource (what it will take to correct the problem) that escapes you, for now.
- Effect is the effect that the change will have on you.

Taking Appropriate Action Gets Results

Cause-effect relationship #1 - because you have come this far in life, you can achieve ANYTHING - poverty or riches, heavy or light, health or illness, whatever you truly wanted you have achieved.

Cause-effect relationship #1 – because you have come this far in life, you can achieve ANYTHING – poverty or riches, heavy or light, health or illness, whatever you truly wanted you have achieved.

Maybe you made some new year resolutions – expressing ways in which you would like to see your life change for the better. Maybe this will be the year you quit smoking, or get that raise, or lose that weight. Whatever it is, your first action is to NAME the change you want to make. This is the action part of the manifestation formula. You have done this part so often that you maybe now take it for granted – meaning you have become oblivious to it.

You are already taking action on what it is you really want – it’s automatic – you do it unconsciously. Based on your beliefs, you take action that is appropriate with what you accept as true – your beliefs. You don’t even have to think about or plan anything – you do it automatically. You don’t have to take specific action – just recognize that you already are [taking action].

Why, then, do you not get what you want? The truth is – you mostly DO get what you want (or at least are satisfied with). You just don’t recognize it – because you are so used to getting what you want from life.

If you continue to act (behaving) as you have acted in the past – based on what you believed to be true in the past – you will tend to continue to get what you have always gotten in the past. You’ll continue to take the appropriate action to achieve whatever it is that you have gotten in the past – you do those actions so well  by now that you are unconscious of them – you’re a master at doing whatever it is that you do to achieve what you are currently experiencing. How about that, boys and girls?!

Success and Failure

What if you could be guaranteed of success at ANYTHING you did? What would you do differently?

First, let’s take a moment to consider the relationship between success and failure.

You are always successful at everything you actually DO. AND – you are always successful in NOT doing what you don’t do.

You are ALWAYS succeeding at something.

What you do may not match your desire. And, your environment may give you the impression that you have failed at something. Yet, because you have actually DONE SOMETHING, you have succeeded in doing that something, whatever it is. Likewise, for those things you do not do, you have succeeded in not doing them.
