Today’s episode is short, but packs a punch! We’re talking about, you guessed it… GOALS!

I recorded this episode while doing my own planning.

In previous years, I would separate each goal into different categories: personal, professional, relational, and spiritual. Although there may be category cross-over, it’s helpful for me to be able to see where I am focusing in each aspect of my life.

Sounds like a great and organized plan, right?

Well, not entirely.

I would agree that it’s a great place to start, but the problem with my previous goal planning was that it lacked one essential piece, STRATEGY.

Whether your goal is to make more money, loose 10 kgs, read more books, yell at your kids less, or live a more organized life, you need a plan on how to get there.

So this year I revamped my goal planning worksheet to include 4 key parts:

WHAT your goal is (what are you striving to achieve?)

WHY it’s important to you (what is the reason behind your goal? Articulating your why can help you stay on track when you feel unmotivated.)

HOW you plan to get there (what steps are you going to take each day to help you get closer to reaching your goal)

WHEN you expect to reach your goal (is this something you plan to accomplish next week, next month or next year)

Once I started including these details, I felt a sense of clarity and direction that had previously been lacking. So grab your pens and paper, and start designing your dream life around your goals!

3 Secrets:

1.Stop Labelling yourself and start labelling your behaviour. You are a good person.

2. Stop criticizing and do the high five habit

3. Stop Victimizing yourself and take the remote control of your life in your hand. If you want a different life, start making different decisions.
