Each year, throughout the world, people make New Year’s Resolutions. Statistically, only about 2% of these resolutions end up being successfully achieved. Resolutions are a problem to be Re-Solved.
Do you work in a highly stressful industry? Do your clients expect you to be there 24/7? Does the tanking real estate market impact your lifestyle decisions? Are your kids plugged into their iPod and not plugged into the family? Each of these challenges can be a spring board to a new solution. A new year is a great time to consider a new way of dealing with old problems and creating new solutions.
A resolution takes personal resolve, a commitment, and a decision to form new habits. Most people are simply too stuck in routine to develop new habits. Continuing with the status quo and longing for change is common. A new solution to achieving your goals is the Fast Track Strategy to Goal Manifestation. Let’s consider some common goals.
1. More profitability per client.
2. Surpass past years earnings plateaus.
3. Provide outstanding service to your clients.
4. Enhance your relationships, both at home and at work.
5. On a daily basis, have more peace and more joy.
6. Feel fantastic physically – be fit, energetic and creative.
Remember, resolutions fail. Here’s a new solution:
The Fast Track Strategy to Goal Manifestation
1. Know what you want.
2. Get clear on your WHY.
3. Identify feelings
4. Start feeling those feelings… now.
5. Create a visual reference of what you desire.
6. Create affirmations.
7. Celebrate.
Step one seems simple. Know what you want. However, this can be the first place where you get stuck. Stop and think about what you don’t want as a tool to identify what you do want. For example, you don’t want to be stuck in the same job for the next year. Your want list can include material items, relationships, health, fitness, financial and other goals. Remove any limits to your desires. This is not like choosing a resolution to stop smoking, cut back on caffeine, or go to the gym three times a week. Think big, encompass all aspects of your life.
Getting clear on your “why” is a vital step in the manifestation process. Why do you want to double your income? Take time to gain clarity on the why behind each of your intentions. This is a critical step to determining Step 3, your feelings. How will you feel when you have achieved your goal? Your feelings are powerful catalysts for change. So, get clear on how you will feel when you drop 20lbs, finish the marathon, double your income, quadruple our client base, enjoy family meals filled with chatter and laughter. List these emotions along with your why’s.
The next step is to begin feeling these emotions now! Act as if you already have what you want. Take a few moments throughout your day and feel the elation of crossing the finish line and of holding that 6 digit bonus check. You can do this while commuting to work, while brushing your teeth, or waiting on line. Feeling your feelings of having what you want each time you stop at a red light. Your emotions are energy in motion and carry a powerful vibration that is integral to the manifestation of your goals.
After having clarity on your wants, why’s and emotions, the next step is to create a visual reference for your goals. Create a vision board by using a cork board or create a virtual vision board on line. The method is similar and entails selecting images and words that express the outcome you desire. Visualization and vision boards are a powerful way to engage your reticular activating system. Your RAS is located at the base of your brain and records the images that you see and seeks to match them in your every day life. What a gift!
Next, create affirmations. Affirmations are present tense statements of accomplishments. They can start with, “I am” or can be questions such as “How have I….?” Keep a journal of daily affirmations. Experiencing the manifestation of your affirmations is a thrill! Finally, celebrate! Celebrate your wins, celebrate baby steps, celebrate synchronicity and ease. A celebration can simply be shouting a big “Woo-Hoo” when you’re alone, or lighting candles at the table. You can think of many ways to celebrate. The key is, celebrate like you’ve achieved your goal. And you know what, in following these 7 steps, you will. It’s Now O’clock. Time to implement the Fast Track Strategy to Goal Manifestation. Here’s to your tremendous 2012!
