We are on Day 3 of 3 of creating New Years Resolutions that are like powerful magnets that draw you toward them. These three posts outline a plan to help you create inspiring goals and a map for reaching them.
Day Three: Action
With your goal as the magnetic pull on the needle of your compass, give your brain a map to follow.
Break your larger goal into a series of mini-goals. A magnet cannot attract an object that’s too far away to feel its pull. Goals that feel too far from where you are now quickly lose their attraction. Therefore create achievable mini-goals that are within reach but challenging enough to pull you forward toward your larger goals.
Now write your goals and mini-goals in positive, present terms using detailed words and/or pictures. For example, instead of “I won’t eat sweets anymore,” try “I enjoy eating fresh fruits and vegetables at each meal to support my energy, health and ideal weight.”
Put your goals in a place where you will see them often. You’ll be amazed at how these concrete words or images begin to manifest themselves in your life.
Use your map to chart your course but be open to new paths to your goals. Obstacles and detours are a natural part of change and provide important learning opportunities. When you remain flexible and patient, you’ll discover creative solutions that help you grow beyond anything you could have imagined.
As you become more clear about your goals and mindful in the process, you’ll see that you are not only drawn toward your goals but your goals are drawn toward you
