Make your goals reach for the sky.

You know, I could write weekly blogs and newsletters for a year on setting goals and the subject wouldn’t be exhausted.

It’s that big.

So why is it that we play lip service to it? Let’s face it, it’s not hard, it doesn’t take long and if you goal-set with a bit of diligence, the results can be nothing short of amazing.

I must confess here right now, up until a couple of years ago, I wasn’t a goal setter. Never thought I needed to, mainly because no one told me why it might be a good idea or, and more importantly, no one told me how to do it.

I never realized that we need to write our goals down, nor did I realise that we need to visit them as frequently as possible because what we are doing when we goal-set is to re-wire some of those tiny little, but very important, threads in neurons of our brain.

How do we start?

Starting is easy and a lot of fun and involves a process called the ‘Magic 10 Minutes’ (I thank my fantastic coach Kurek Ashley for this term). What you do is put aside a half an hour or so when you won’t be disturbed. Get yourself into a great space by lighting a couple of candles, burning incense or oils, playing music, maybe dancing or even pouring yourself a glass of wine. The idea is to relax and get into your own special space.

Next, grab a pen and paper and start writing all the things you would like to experience. Write for ten minutes, longer if you want and just let it flow. This is why it’s called flow writing. Remove all barriers by imagining you have unlimited money and that there is nothing that could restrict you in fulfilling your dreams or experiences.

It’s that easy. It might take you a couple of attempts, and that’s okay. This is not something you have to excel at, you don’t have to do it ‘properly’ or ‘perfectly’, you just have to put thoughts and dreams down on paper. And remember, you’re the only one who’s going to see this, so put anything and everything without any control or influence from others. Remember this is the stuff you dream about.

Call to Action

Have you done your Magic Ten Minutes of flow writing? That’s your call to action. How did it go, did you enjoy it?

Lurking within what you wrote in your Magic Ten Minutes are your goals. All you have to do is extract them out and turn them into a goal or two. How cool is that!

You’re almost there. Next time we’ll talk about the wording you can use in your goals.

Right now, I have a goal to head back to the office to see a client who needs my help. I’ve had a coffee, and Millie, who made my coffee, offered me some fresh muffin. Yum. Now I have to work that bit harder on last week’s fitness and vitality goal.

Until next time, have the best awesome day.

Andrew
