So in the spirit of this week being New Years and “lots of people” creating resolutions, I bring you this week’s HomeWork:
Get a pad of paper or a notebook and keep it with you all week.
On the first page write down your:
1 month goal
6 month goal
1 year goal.
Then, each morning and evening, plus whenever you think about it during the day, re-write these 3 goals on the next clean page. You are free to modify them how ever you like (they are YOUR goals, anyway...).
The goals can be related to anything you like, health, wealth, fitness, etc. etc. etc.
It is important that you re-write these at least twice a day (once upon waking and once right before you go to sleep), and whenever else you either think about them or want to modify them during the day.
This is one of those things that you also do not want to share with anyone else. Keep them to yourself, until you achieve them (which you will if you follow these instructions).
This really works. Honest, I have tried this numerous times and each time it works eerily well.
The caveat is that you have to be VERY disciplined in performing this at least twice a day (in this case, more IS better).
It really makes sense that if you are disciplined enough to do this everyday, then you will naturally be more disciplined in other areas of your life and therefore achieve the goals. This is not some “magic” or “secret”, it is simply using your mind/subconscious/whatever to keep background awareness on an item (or 3)...
So this HomeWork obviously is not meant to last just one week. In order to achieve the 1 year goal, you would need to follow this for one year. If you choose to do that, great!
Otherwise, it is very interesting what doing this for only one week will do. I have seen, with myself and others, just 1 week to 10 days of doing this result in achieving the 1 month goal at least.
At the very least it is interesting to see how the goals change over the course of the week...
Also, remember, ‘goals are simply dreams with timelines attached to them’, so if you are going to dream, dream big.
The worst that can happen is that you can achieve the goal, and then regret not ‘dreaming’ up a bigger/better goal.
From personal experience I can tell you that when I have tried this with a goal that seemed a bit ‘over the top’ I have achieved it, EVERY TIME. Just shows what disciplined attention to something can do...
Here is an example of what you might write on a page (and then re-write on the next page with any modifications):
1 month - buy a new house
6 month – lose 10 pounds
1 year – 1:35 half marathon
Good Luck and Happy New Year!!!
