HOW TO SET A GOAL ?

 

THE BRAIN POWER

THREE HABITS 

• BE PROACTIVE
• BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND, AND
• PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST.

LIFE HAS A WAY OF SHAPING US, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO CONTROL US. WHILE WE CAN'T CONTROL THE ACTIONS OF OTHERS, WE CAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OWN REACTIONS, BEHAVIOURS, AND DECISIONS. BY BEING PROACTIVE AND TAKING INITIATIVE, WE CAN SHIFT OUR PATTERNS AND SEE THE WORLD IN A NEW WAY.

TO BE EFFECTIVE IN WORK, PLAY, OR RELATIONSHIPS, WE NEED CLEAR GOALS. BE REVERSE-ENGINEERING AND DESIRED OUTCOME, INDIVIDUALS, ORGANISATIONS, AND BUSINESSES CAN WORK PROACTIVELY TOWARD A MISSION. AND BY REMEMBERING THAT LIFE IS FINITE, WE CAN FOCUS WHAT REALLY MATTERS, OUR RELATIONSHIPS AND LEGACY.

BUT DISTRACTIONS ARE EVERYWHERE, FROM NOTIFICATIONS TO EMAILS. TO FORM NEW HABITS, WE NEED TO LEARN TO PRIORITIZE AND SAY NO TO TRIVIAL DISTRACTIONS - AND EVEN WORTHWHILE ACTIVITIES THAT DIVERT OUR ATTENTION FROM OUR GOALS. IF YOU WANT TO WRITE A BOOK, FOR INSTANCE, IT MIGHT MEAN GIVING UP OTHER PURSUITS IN THE SHORT TERM.

MISSION STATEMENT

YOU CAN PUT WORDS TO YOUR GOALS AND BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT TO FOCUS ON BY DEFINING WHAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE IN YOUR CHOSEN AREA. WRITE DOWN WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU AND THE STEPS YOU NEED TO TAKE TO GET THERE.

SCHEDULE YOUR PRIORITIES

SET  ASIDE 30 MINUTES, PERHAPS ON A FRIDAY OR SUNDAY, TO PLAN OUT YOUR WEEK. SET ASIDE SPECIFIC TIME SLOTS FOR YOUR TOP PRIORITIES AND DON'T RESCHEDULE THEM.

• WHO YOU ARE IS DEFINED BY WHAT YOU ARE WILLING TO STRUGGLE FOR.
• YOU ACTIONS REVEAL HOW BADLY YOU WANT SOMETHING.
• IF YOU KEEP SAYING SOMETHING IS A PRIORITY BUT YOU NEVER ACT ON IT, THEN YOU DON'T REALLY WANT IT.
• IT'S TIME TO HAVE AN HONEST CONVERSATION WITH YOURSELF.
• YOUR ACTIONS REVEAL YOUR TRUE MOTIVATIONS.

20/20/20 FORMULA

ARE YOU TIRED OF WAKING UP EARLY ONLY TO SPEND THE EXTRA TIME SCROLLING THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA OR WATCHING THE NEWS? IT'S TIME TO OPTIMIZE YOUR MORNINGS WITH THE PERFECT PLAN.

START WITH 20 MINUTES OF EXERCISE TO AWAKEN YOUR BODY AND GET THOSE ENDORPHINS FLOWING. SWEATING NOT ONLY REDUCES STRESS AND FEAR BUT ALSO RELEASES BRAIN-DERIVED NEUROTROPHIC FACTOR , A CRUCIAL FACTOR FOR IMPROVING YOUR COGNITIVE ABILITIES.

NEXT, SPEND 20 MINUTES IN REFLECTION, TAKING THE PEACE OF THE MORNING TO FIND INSPIRATION. WRITE DOWN YOUR THOUGHTS AND FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WANT OUT OF THE DAY AHEAD, FOLLOW THAT UP WITH MEDITATION, WHICH HAS BEEN SHOWN TO REDUCE CORTISOL AND STRESS LELVES.

FINALLY, DEDICATE YOUR LAST 20 MINUTES TO LEARNING. READING A BOOK, LISTEN TO A PODCAST, OR WORK ON A NEW SKILL. THE KEY TO SUCCESS IS A LOVE OF LEARNING.

EMBRACE THE DAY AND MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR MORNINGS WITH THESE SIMPLE TIPS.

YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE YOUR LIFE UNTIL YOU CHANGE THE HABITS YOU DO DAILY.

THE SECRET OF YOUR SUCCESS IS FOUND IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE.

HOW TO SET A GOAL

FIRSTLY, WE NEED TO OPEN OUR EYES TO THE WORLD AND EXPOSE OURSELVES TO NEW EXPERIENCES AND POSSIBILITIES. AS BENJAMIN HARDY PUT IT, "YOU CAN'T MAKE DECISIONS AND CHOICES IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEY EXIST".

NEXT, WE MUST FOCUS ON OUR DESIRES AND SET A GOAL TO STRIVE TOWARDS. IF OUR CURRENT DESIRES AREN'T HEALTHY OR FULFILLING, WE CAN WORK ACTIVELY TO CHANGE THEM.

LASTLY, WE MUST BE CONFIDENT IN OUR ABILITY TO ACHIEVE OUR OBJECTIVES, OR WE'LL NEVER EVEN CONSIDER THEM.

IF WE WANT TO BREAK FREE FROM OUR LIMITATIONS AND GAIN THE COURAGE TO SUCCEED, WE MUST STEP OUT OF OUR COMFORT ZONE AND BE WILLING TO EMBRACE FAILURE.

 

GROWTH MINDSET

FIND THE STRENGTH TO CONTINUE PUSHING YOURSELF TO SEEK NEW EXPERIENCES AND OPPORTUNITIES. YOU DON'T WANT TO BE THE SAME PERSON YOU ARE TODAY IN TEN YEARS, INSTEAD, EMBARK ON A JOURNEY OF LIFELONG LEARNING AND GROWTH.

HEALTHY BOUNDARIES

• CONTROL YOUR ATTENTION, NOT YOUR EMOTIONS

EMOTIONS AREN'T UNDER OUR DIRECT CONTROL. WHEN YOU TRY TO CONTROL THINGS, YOU DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER-LIKE YOUR FEELINGS-YOU'LL ONLY CREATE MORE PAIN AND SUFFERING FOR YOURSELF IN THE LONG TERM. IF YOU WAN TO BE MORE EMOTIONALLY STRONG, VALIDATE YOUR EMOTIONS AND CONTROL YOUR ATTENTION.

• PRACTICE COMPASSIONATE SELF-TALK

WHEN YOU RESPOND TO PAINFUL EMOTIONS WITH NEGATIVE SELF-TALK, YOU TRAIN YOUR BRAIN TO BE ASHAMED OF FEELING BAD. TRUE EMOTIONAL STRENGTH COMES FROM GENTLENESS, NOT CRITISM.

• USE VALUES, NOT FEELINGS, TO MAKE DECISIONS

YOUR EMOTIONS WILL LEAD YOU ASTRAY JUST AS OFTEN AS THEY WILL GUIDE YOU. LISTEN TO ALL YOUR EMOTIONS BUT DON'T BLINDLY TAKE ORDERS FROM THEM.

• SET HEALTHY BOUNDARIES

EMOTIONALLY STRONG PEOPLE KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T BE EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY IFYOU NEVER STAND UP FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR OWN WANTS AND NEEDS. JUST BECAUSE IT FEELS BAD DOESN'T MEAN IT IS BAD.

"NO" IS A COMPLETE SENTENCE".
