Goal Setting Workshop 2
This is the best time of the year to commit to a bunch of goals that will inspire your actions day after day.
There are things we know we can do that genuinely help to bring even our wildest dreams into reality. With our full range of MindStore tools, there is more than enough equipment to make sure you not only set the goals but ultimately achieve them.
Firstly, give yourself the Gift of Seven Goals. Give yourself the gift of actually claiming the goals you truly want, not the ones your doubtful, limiting left brain’s common sense tells you are possible. At MindStore we don’t use common sense when it comes to goal setting. We demand of ourselves not to be limited by needing to know how we are going to achieve our goals. In fact, if you select goals and already know how you’re going to achieve your goals and can write out a full plan of your journey towards them, then you will have no doubt limited yourself in so many ways. Not only have you deprived yourself of much better achievements but you have also deprived yourself of what you are truly capable of, and deprived your loved ones, friends and colleagues of a much better you.
Now you can take advantage of the universal vibe at this time, a time of global intention for setting goals. You can arrange to set the purposeful time to commit to sit down in the “Alpha State” and dare to dream. Talk with your “Inner Coaches” seek their advice , fantasize and imagine what you would love to achieve, what you want to do, what you would like to have, and who you want to become.
Find seven goals that stand out for you, then programme them for the first time with absolute commitment by working them through your four screens ( if you only have the original three then that’s fine too). Now take your Night Book, or make one up as per the instructions in the MindStore Book or just do the following:
Write out each goal in turn on its own page in a notebook. Make sure it’s a notebook that’s only used for your goals and for keeping a journal of your journey towards their realisation. Get a photograph of the goal, or do a drawing or painting and position it on the same page. It’s best to use photographs, or if you do a drawing, take a photograph of it and place copies in places you would least expect to find them. For example inside your shoes, your wardrobe, the bathroom cabinet, on the dashboard of your car, on the inside of the cupboard where you keep your tea etc, etc. The images will subliminally programme the goals into your subconscious and assist you in creating the gestalt process that facilitates the manifestation of your goals.
Write out an affirmation (that’s a sentence that is constructed using what we call the 3 P’s). It’s positive, it’s personal and it’s in the present tense. Typical examples will be “I am enjoying the challenges of my new role with …..” or “I feel wonderful right now as I have effortlessly lost weight and reached a size….”
You now have a description of your goal, a photograph of the goal, an affirmation, and then you need to commit to a date you want to achieve it by. Write out the date and sign the page. Over the coming weeks have a look at each page before settling down to sleep at night. In the morning have another look before “Programming Your Day.” Making up collages of your combined images works too. You can also have fun engaging the family and you can have a board placed up somewhere in the kitchen or living room where everyone’s goals and pictures are up there for all to see. You could actually do this as a family workshop, gathering around a table with scissors, paper, glue, old magazines and brochures.
“It only works” and it will work for you and all you love in the year ahead!
