So...it's a brand new year! What are you planning to do with it??? The keyword here is
obviously Planning! Have you put any thought into it? What would you like to accomplish this year that would would really blow you away and have a massive impact on your life? Maybe its loosing 20 pounds or spending more time with someone special in your life. Maybe you want to start a business or find a better job.
Stop reading for just a moment and really think about what you would like to
achieve over the next year! Have you thought about it? Good. Now keep in mind that our Focus determines our reality!
Now have you set any resolution or written down your goals for 2010? If you have you are already so far ahead of the majority of people out there. Most people spend more time putting together their shopping list or planning a vacation than they do planning their lives. In fact less than 1% of the population has a written set of goals.
Here are a few things that you can apply right now to your life that will help you reach some of those goals quicker with greater success. Some may seem Easy... but don't underestimate the power they have to create positive change in your life!
1) It's not enough to just think about how you would like your life to be different. Until you put pen to paper and write out specifically want to achieve it is not a goal...It is merely a dream. You also need to be as specific as you can be when writing out your goals. Its not enough to say I want to loose weight or make more money. How much do you want to make and when do you want to make it? Goals are written down, are committed to and get results. Dreams are things that we think about doing someday....
2) Set your goals as High as your comfortable setting them! This is so important! Most people set their goals to low. This usually we are afraid that if we set our goals to high we won't be able to achieve them and we over compensate by setting our goals with where we are comfortable. You want to set your goals high enough to stretch yourself just outside of your comfort zone!
3) You need to take action right away! ACTION is the key to all success! So take out a pen and paper Right Now, while your thinking about it, and write down your goals for 2010! Action creates motion and more importantly result. It is the the most important factor in determining your success or failure. Dare to be a little different this year and write outyour goals now for 2010!
4) Did you write out your goals for 2010? Great! Now reward yourself with a cappuccino or some other small thing that you will really enjoy! Rewards are a critical part of setting goals. It is the part that is most left out of the process.
But you need to have rewards for reaching your goals! The rewards create a sense of urgency and motivation for accomplishing our goals. Many people leave this step out thinking that obtaining the goal will give them the motivation to reach their goal and it usually does not work. Reward yourself with each goal that you accomplish and you will have more motivation to accomplish the rest of your goals! So write down how you will reward yourself for reaching each of your goals. Then reward yourself for this as well! I'm having another cappuccino!
If some of this seems like work that's because it is work! My Mom used to say "Nothing worth having comes with out a little hard work" and she is right! This is meaningful though. It has the power to massively change your life for the better
and make 2010 one of the best years of your life.
