DREAM BIG- otherwise known as Goals!

Ok- so you have your Purpose and Passions figured out- right? Remember to look at them daily and write affirmations about what you want to accomplish! Now onto those Dreams and Goals!
-You have to have a dream if you are going to make it come true!
What does YOUR success look like to you?
-Take a look at all the key areas of your life: Whatever it is that you have- BE GRATEFUL)
-PERSONAL GOALS (things you want to have)
-RELATIONSHIPS (friends, family, co-workers etc)
-HEALTH AND BODY (physical and mental health)
-CAREER AND EDUCATION ( continue your personal growth as well as your academic growth)
-RECREATION (Have fun!- sports, music, what do you love to do?)
-FINANCIAL ( what do you want to earn?)
-CONTRIBUTIONS (what do you want to give back?)

Be certain when setting your dreams/goals to use the SMART method

• Specific- be very detailed - envision yourself being and doing the things of your heart.Let others know your intentions.

• Measurable-Be certain your goal has a "ruler" better yet- a "yardstick" to measure your results- how much money do you want to earn, how much weight do you want to loose

• Action-Take ACTION And ATTAIN results- make the actions your own-if you want to loose weight - don't buy the cookies and potato chips (for the kids) it will do them good not to eat them either!

• Realistic- Stretch yourself a bit- think and BELIEVE that you will achieve your goals! Stop settling for whatever comes your way and take ownership of the fact that YOU can actively participate in the creation of your own destiny and dreams!

• Timely- Put a date to be accomplished on your goal sheet! Don't get hung up if you don't achieve it by that specific time-frame! BUT NEVER GIVE UP!

Getting started-
We usually know what we Don't Want so go ahead and make a chart for every area of your life that you want to change and label it What I don't want( once we put it down on paper - we will begin to release those things and concentrate on the other side) and on the other side label
Want I don't want What I do Want
I don't want to be overweight I want to fit into a size 6 (don't we all?)
I don't want to date a smoker I want to date someone who cares
about their health

You get the idea?
Ok- then you need to make a list of AT LEAST 101 things that you want and on another day- take your time and prioritize them!
This exercise could take you while, but it is liberating!

So - you have your work cut out for you this week- go ahead, have fun and DREAM BIG!!!
YOU DESERVE THE BEST !
Next time MORE ON AFFIRMATIONS!
See you then!
