Practice
Each day, review your goal and create a practice process. This accomplishes several things. It keeps your goal in the forefront of your awareness. It also helps you spot potential obstacles. Finally, it lets you assess your daily progress.
The practice process consists of these steps:
- Assess your progress toward the goal. Calculate how many days have passed and analyze your progress. Are you ahead of or behind schedule? It’s important to measure where you stand relative to your goal. If you’re doing well, keep it up. Otherwise, figure out what needs to change.
- Read and rewrite your goal and endpoint success image. Look over both, read them aloud, and then rewrite them. You get the reinforcement of reading, hearing, and writing.
- Visualize your endpoint success image. Notice what you see, smell, think, and feel physically and emotionally. The more senses you include, the more effective it will be.
- See how you feel. Do you feel confident you can achieve it or do you get that knot-in-your-stomach-feeling? If you feel anything but excited and confident, your mind is trying to tell you something. You might want to adjust your goal a bit so it’s closer to what you really want or learn other ways to eliminate your resistance.
It’s important to practice this each day. Without it, you’re much less likely to achieve your goal.
“Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the
children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.”
