Goal Setting - 10 Steps to Getting What YOU
Want: Creating YOUR Reality - Step 2:
How to Decide On Which Goals To Set
This section helps you choose the best goal for you.
Points to Consider: When I create goals, I keep the following points in mind:
Give the Universe Space To Work: I like to set goals which creates a new situation rather than focusing on a
problem. This is so I can focus on something positive as well as giving room for spirit to work.
That is, instead of saying I want to have a new boss, I may ask for a job that I enjoy with a team of coworkers
and boss that have the same values as I do.
This means spirit may move your job, or may help you and your boss get along. It doesn't matter. Also, this way
spirit can give me something even better than I imagined.
-
Verifiable: By having your goal have something that can be verified
you allow yourself to see goals being successfully created. This in turn makes more goals achievable.
The universe always provides.
-
Positive: Creating positive goals is recommended as the mind often doesn't hear
the word "not". Focusing on a positive image brings that image to you.
Goal Topics: Often, one creates goals to based on their list of values.
This can be one's health, family, spiritual practice, relationships, work, or livelihood.
Sometimes it is obvious that something is not working in your life. If this is the case, focusing on what you
what like that part of your life to be like, is an excellent place to start.
Imagining a supportive network of family and friends or a extremely satisfying job that leaves
you energized are great examples of such goals.
Other times, one just has a restlessness or uneasiness about their life. Often this is due to
having life not being fulfilling. So perhaps, having a goal that takes you the next step or discovering other
options is the way to go.
Looking through our Affirmation
of the Day may give you some ideas.
Exercise: Here is an exercise that may help you decide on a goal:
Sing a word that is special to you for a few minutes. Examples are: God, Buddha, Jesus, Hu,
Aum, Love, Happiness.
While you singing this special word feel your heart to expand with love. From this state, look
at the various parts of your life to see what needs the most attention. Is it your family, your job, your
spiritual focus, finances, health or some other area? What would it feel like if this area was cleansed with
light and love?
Bring this feeling back to your awareness when you are done singing. Write down as much as your
experience as you can. Picture this as you new goal and work from there.
