If we keep our goals, wishes and desires only at the level of MIND, we cannot go beyond being sweet dreamer. This article was created for determined dreamers who want to take a step towards making their dreams come true. This week I'm talking about what steps we need to take to achieve the goals.
Isn't it nice to just daydream? We feel good even considering our wishes. However, sometimes, because our minds tend to see the negative, we can say "this is not the job" even at the stage of daydreaming. We do not allow our dreams even when we are still in the dream stage, and just because of this we can stop dreaming after a while. This is because instead of embodying the dream, it's just to let it stay at the level of the mind.
Another mistake is to dream and then deliver everything to the universe. I don't know if we'll get to that point one day, but most of us haven't gotten to the point of having something just willingly as a human species. Wanting is a very powerful factor, and it is very important to emphasize it. But it is not very possible to fulfill requests simply by willingness, without identifying possible obstacles, planning and taking steps. And boring. It would actually make life a little too meaningless if everything we want comes true without any effort. So let it be aside as what we should not do to keep wishes in mind without embodying them, and simply to expect from the universe.
Now we have come to what we have to do; If you wish, you can download the WOOP goal realization tool from the positive psychology tools to your computer to follow the steps more easily. WOOP reduces anxiety and worry as it includes the steps of intention creation, goal setting and decision making. Making decisions relaxes you, your negative emotions decrease, and it becomes easier to find solutions to problems. With the sense of control this exercise gives, your self-confidence increases.
First, choose any goals you want to achieve in the new year. And follow the steps on the tool you downloaded or here.
Achievable goal. The wish line asks you about your achievable goal. The important thing here is that this goal is realistic, that is, it would not be right to start this vehicle with a wish against the laws of physics. Let's say your goal is to exercise regularly.
The best result your goal can deliver. In the second step, you imagine the best outcome your goal can bring; For example, I am a regular exerciser twice a week and my body is in better shape than I expected. I feel energetic and energetic, my health problems and pain have decreased. I now make the things I wear fit myself, I enjoy dressing up. Thanks to sports, I started to pay attention to my nutrition. I get compliments from people about how much I've changed and how good I look. Thanks to me, 2 of my friends started sports.
In this step, you need to list the obstacles that could prevent you from achieving your goal. This line is the most important and most ignored line. However, identifying and removing obstacles is very important to achieving goals. There is a great saying; “I don't think about how to be successful at a job; what will hinder that job? Have I removed the barriers, it will go on by itself. "
What could be the obstacles to regular exercise? Not having a gym near your home? Laziness, procrastination, inability to find different offers attractive and to act with will. Here you list all the things that might hinder.
What you can do to remove the obstacles. Step 4 will include what you need to do to eliminate these obstacles. List all the things you can do to eliminate the obstacles to making your wish come true and choose the one that works best for you.
'When this happens. .I will do'
You have to fill the line for each obstacle.
For example, you can tell your friends that you will be in sports on certain days and that you need their support to do sports these days, despite the danger of alternatives such as offers to drink something from your friends during the hours you need to go to sports.
Yes, when you do this work and make an action plan regarding what you need to do in the face of obstacles, you will be one step closer to your goal. Actually, there is one more item I added as a bonus; What's the worst case scenario if you don't take the necessary steps to make your dream come true? If you are dealing with rapid weight gain, are obesity and various health risks? Avoiding dressing, getting inside people? Losing self-confidence? I want you to think about the worst possible scenario.
This is the step that will motivate you to take a step towards your goal. If the worst case scenario doesn't affect you enough, you may not have enough passion for your goal, and that goal might not be something you really want. Seeing this saves you from wasting time for the goals you want to achieve, for the sake of a goal you don't want.
Remember;
The worst target is the one who lacks passion!
The worst target is the one who lacks passion. I love that. Thanks a lot. I also used to daydream a lot about what I want but not really working to make it possible. In Tagalog 'tinamaan ako dun haha. More power to you po! :)
