How to Write Goals Into Reality
Are you ready to write your goals into reality? Do you think it could be honestly that simple?
In this post, discover how to write your goals into reality. It’s a pretty simple process.
Do you have this emotional dread when you think about goals. I know I have. I’m not a very big fan of goals or even writing them down. More often than not, I have them more in my head than writing them down but what I have found is, when I do write down what I want to attract into my life….it happens.
1. Take Stock in the Present Moment
The first step to writing goals into reality is to take stock in the present moment. Be grateful all that got you to this present moment and then clear the energetic slate to invite in the future present moments.
Ask yourself, how would you feel on the other side of this goal?
If you think about it, if you actually have what you are wanting to achieve already, you would be in a state of peace, bliss, and relaxation. You wouldn’t be stressed out about achieving your goals. We want to clear the energy and live in the vibration of our desired end result.
How can we do this? A great place to start to clear the slate is called Emotional Freedom Technique, EFT and it’s basically a pattern interrupter. It is a process that’s used by many athletes, musicians, performers that are needing to clear out some negative programming and performance anxiety.
I personally used EFT before performances and within anything that I feel like I’m being blocked energetically. Just to put it out there, I am definitely not an EFT expert, I’m just one to guide you in that direction, to open up the door for you to experience EFT if you haven’t already.
I would recommend Brad Yates for EFT videos. Basically, EFT is the tapping while you are saying specific statements to help clear that energy out. For example, if you have a sense of dread with the idea of setting goals, we want to clear that so that we can move forward with our goal-setting process.
You can do a round of EFT with me in the video above or on your own using the following statements below:
- Even though I hate setting goals, I completely and deeply love and accept myself.
- Even though I will never reach or attain my goals, I deeply completely love and accept myself.
- Even though I feel my goals are too big and who am I to achieve them, I deeply, completely love and accept myself.
- Even though I feel that I’m not enough, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
- Even though I feel I can’t do this all by myself, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
- Even though I feel I don’t have the answers or I don’t know what to do or I don’t know where to start to accomplish my goals, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
- Even though I don’t trust myself, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
- Even though I’m afraid of making mistakes, I deeply completely love and accept myself.
- Even though I’m a perfectionist, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
- Even though I feel I don’t have what it takes to achieve {insert your goal here} I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
- Even though I may fail, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
It is possible that when you start practicing EFT, you may go deeper and discover that what you thought you were anxious about is actually rooted in something else. Then do a round of EFT on that.
2. Start Writing
Step two to writing goals into reality is get writing!
Instead of complaining or thinking about things that you don’t like about your life, sit down and write how you want it to be, how you want it to happen.
We have our thoughts that create reality and when we write it down, it’s even a stronger way of getting that into our reality.
Only four percent of people write down their goals and only one percent write down and reference them regularly. That’s a pretty small percentage. These one percent are the highest achievers. That’s pretty inspiring to write some goals down.
It is not productive to keep goals swirling in the head because they can just keep swirling for years. Simply and quickly write in a journal or google doc. This is the one that I love because I’m always next to my computer. I just open up a google doc and I start writing.
Write out everything that’s swimming around in your head. This helps clear your head get focused and start to get these things moving to give them the energy to come into your reality.
3. Choose Three
Step three to writing goals into reality is to focus your energy!
You may have many goals but let’s focus only on three.
All other goals put them in the column called for the Universe to do and you may find that magically enough, those goals will also get traction Just by writing it down and releasing it to the Universe, helps for them to come into existence.
Release the energy of not knowing what to do and believe the answers are going to come to you.
You may also ask the question (I love this question from Christie Marie Sheldon,) What would it take? What would it take to achieve this goal? This question relieves the responsibility off of your shoulders for the time being. All you have to do is allow the answers to come forth.
4. Feel As If
Step four to writing goals into reality is to feel as if it has already happened!
Feel the emotions you would feel after the goal has been accomplished. Now we want to basically vibrationally attune our energy to that existence that we were wanting to attract because if we are not vibrating at the vibrational frequency of what we’re wanting to attract, it’s not going to happen.
Negative thoughts, worry, concern and anxiousness repels are desired end result. Think of it like Raid to cockroaches….that will give you the powerful visual to not spray raid on your dreams.
Our lower vibration repels our goals. Our desired end result It’s actually going to get repelled away if we’re not the same vibrational frequency. You want to be vibrating at the same vibrational frequency of that of which you want to achieve.
This is where I like to throw in a little sparkle of gratitude to say, “I’m so grateful and thankful for {insert achieved goal here.}”
Think about how you would feel when that would occur and vibe at that. Wake up each day in the energy of your achieved goal.
Keep your three focused goals on your bedside table written down or in your phone. This way before you go to bed you can re-visit your focus goals and even images of those accomplished goals to inspire you to dream about the goals that you want to achieve.
This helps you to wake up with focused energy.
5. Break It Down
Step five to writing goals into reality is to break it down into small actionable steps!
This is where overwhelm can set in. We may feel that we don’t know what the next step is and we get so freaked out about the step like what is this next step? The feeling of I don’t know what to do stops the step from even happening.
How to overcome the lack of clarity frozenwhelm phase?
Tell yourself that there is no right or wrong step. It’s simply a matter of motion. Block out time in your day dedicated to your specific goal energized with the intention of the happy end result.
What do you need to get that happy end result and how can you break that down into a system that you have every day?
Let’s take for example, learning a violin concerto or something that you really want to learn on the violin. Give yourself a deadline; for example, I want to be able to play this specific piece after three months (let go of perfection).
Then make sure you have set aside practice time in your day on a daily basis within that time frame of three months. After three months check-in with your play-through progress.
No matter what the goal is, it is a lot easier to achieve when you have set the system in place.
1. Block out time in your calendar dedicated to the goal.
2. Break the goal down to bits.
3. Follow through with your daily system.
With this formula you don’t have to wonder what am I doing today.
See the Vision
As creatives, goal setting process can be really not too exciting and I know when I take the written and make it visual magic happens.
It took me a long time to realize that taking the time to write and visualize goals are as important and in some ways even more important than the actual doing part. It was super easy for me to fool myself into thinking that the actual time spent on writing or visualizing goals was actually taking the time away from achieving them.
It took me years to even make a vision board and then when I did, I really didn’t understand how just slapping a few images together could bring them into reality.
I knew many others and perhaps even you suffer from this same place of indecision and lack of clarity. Because of this, I created a wonderful step by step vision board workshop that helps you actually get your vision board created in a form that supports your lifestyle including how to make a vision board online in order for you to access it at any time as long as you have your phone with you. Discover more here.
Be sure to set aside time to write your goals down, create your vision board and turn your goals into reality. I’ll see you in the workshop.
