Every New Year we are excited to put the previous year behind us and start anew. And often this comes with looking ahead and setting goals for what you want to accomplish. But if our goals aren’t created properly, we are setting ourselves up for failure right from the start.
So this year when you create your goals, add this additional element to ensure your success. Not only do you want to write them down and look at them daily, but you also want to visualize them as if they have happened.
Want to lose 20 lbs? Visualize yourself 20 lbs lighter.
Want to have a better relationship this year. Visualize yourself enjoying your family on a regular basis.
Want to pay off all your debt? Visualize your balance sheet saying $0 due.
Visualizing your goals is the missing ingredient to achieving what you want to accomplish. Enjoy the experience, and enjoy your visions coming to be!
2. How can setting goals help you discover new things about yourself and help you live your best life?
The first step in setting personal goals is to consider what we want to achieve in our lifetime. Setting Lifetime goals gives us the overall perspective that shapes all other aspects of our decision making.
