If you have ever set goals before, but failed to achieve them, it may have been because you did not create a specific plan of action to accomplish those goals. (I know I certainly have.)
Taking the time to set goals is only part of the process of goal setting, and many people often overlook the other part, which is creating a plan.
Without a plan your goals remain incomplete. It’s like having a destination but without a map. Your goals tell you where you want to go in life, and your plan tells you how to get there. It’s that simple!
A goal plan is simply a list of scheduled activities that you will do sometime in the future. These may include activities done over a series of days, weeks, months or even years depending on the type of goal you set for yourself.
Your plan does not have to be completed perfectly the first time. Usually, you will find that your first attempt at creating a goal plan will be vague and incomplete. Don’t worry this is ok. Plans should be flexible and so are likely to be constantly updated as you move towards completing your primary goal.
In your plan you should therefore create a series of steps, you think you need to accomplish that goal. So, think of it like baking a cake. Your ultimate goal is to make a cake (and eat it!), but the ingredients and the things you do with those ingredients are your plan. Once you complete the plan, you complete your goal.
Creating a goal plan is frequently overlooked, and many people discipline themselves to write their goals every day but create no plan. So, make sure you not only take the time to decide where you want to go (your goals) but then create a plan that will tell you how to get there.
In addition to your goal plan, it is also a good idea to use mental pictures to help clarify in your mind exactly what you want to achieve. This can simply involve thinking about your goals, and imaging them as completed. By doing so, you will be surprised at what a difference it makes in achieving your goals. You will be giving new direction to your subconscious mind. You will find yourself beginning to live your life with active intent rather than by passive acceptance. And you will find yourself being internally reprogrammed, increasing the likelihood of success.
