The Power of Goal Setting--Step 3

Now that you have the goal written correctly, you need to put it where you can see it easily at least once a day. I put mine  on the bathroom mirror. Also, I have been known to put it on the refrigerator or near the computer. Seeing it is a great reminder to keep you focused. Remember it is something that you really want to be, do, or have so you have passion and desire along with belief and faith that you will have it. When you look at the picture, feel the feeling of already having it. 

When I look at my goal and repeat it with emotion and feeling, I picture in my mind having achieved it and focus on that. What a great feeling it is. Visualization is very powerful and a necessity for the goal setting process. I explain it very simply in my book.
Next, you need to list the obstacles that will get or are in the way of receiving the goal. List all the obstacles that you can think of. That is all you have to do in this step.

When you think of the obstacles and list them, you might be a little discouraged thinking about how you will overcome them. Here is some food for thought: When the fear and doubt creep into your mind, you must become aware of it. You will then need to push those thoughts out and replace with positive, courageous thoughts. It is not easy to do; but when you do, instantly you feel better. The uncomfortable feeling is gone. You must make sure to do this often because that is how you will move forward and overcome the FEAR that is the killer of any achievement of goals. 

One thing that always works for me is sitting in the stillness because stillness speaks. It is the power that is within that we all have. Learning to push all thoughts out of the head for any length of time is very beneficial. Relaxing the body while doing this allows for the wonderful flow and everything is how it should be.
