To begin you need to know what you want. You will set a goal. It's important to remember how you phrase your goal. Don't say, "I want" instead say "I have". For example. "I will achieve my dreams" would become "I have achieved my dreams" If you say "I want" they that separates you from your goal. But, by phrasing it "I have" it means that you already have what you want. As long as you continue to say "I want", it is reinforcing your mind to think that you don't have it.
Know why you want it. This is also referred to as finding your "why". Maybe, you may want to make more money, so you can stay at home with the kids. Maybe, you might want to make more income, so you can save money for retirement. Maybe, you may want to leave your current job, and work for yourself. Be in control of your success, destiny, and your life. The "why" continuously drives you to your goal. It helps you to take the steps necessary to achieve that goal. If, your like me, you might want to stop spending so much time in front of the television. Then, you can take that time and spend it on your business.
Decide how long it will take to achieve that goal. In order to determine that, you will need to know what steps that you would need to take. For example, when I stop spending so much time in front of the tv, I will have more time to spend on my goal. Also, once you set a timeframe, alot of the time you will achieve the goal sooner than that deadline. Some people feel like they don't want to set a timeframe, because what happens if they don't achieve the goal on time. Then they will feel like they failed, and say "Thats it", what am I going to do now.
Write your goal down. I used to say, "What good is that going to do?" "I know what my goal is, I don't need to write it down. I'm not sure why this works, but it does. I'm not an expert at everything. Just try writing it down, and you will see how much difference it makes. It won't hurt to try.
Spend some time out of your busy schedule where you can take time to think. That can be done anywhere where you can concentrate. Some negative thoughts may try to creep in, but just ignore them.And, replace them with positive ones. The purpose here is to see yourself having your goal, and what it feels like. For ex: If you wanted to get out of debt, really see what it would feel like if that was the case. To be able to know that you have the money to pay your bills, instead of pulling your hair out to find a way to come up with the money.
Focus your attention on already achieving your goal. The subconscious mind will take in whatever we keep saying consciously. It will do what ever you tell it to do. I know you are skeptical, but consider this.If you wanted to get a new job. You have located the job in the paper, and sent in your resume. Now, you are waiting to hear from the employer, so you can set up an interview. During that time, you may have the following thoughts. They threw my resume in the trash. They will hire somebody that they know. They might find somebody who has more experience than I do. Nothing ever works out for me. You get the idea. You have to counteract those thoughts with positive thoughts.
