subject: Today Is The Day To Make A Change! [print this page] With the aging quickly approaching, it's time to start thinking about the new changes we all want to make. I hear my students tell me that they are thinking, but often it's hard to find the time to actually find the time to do. Here's what I have found that helps them.
1. Write it down - it doesn't take a lot of time to take a few simple notes. When we write things down, we are internalizing our goals.
2. Set a date - setting a date to all of our goals will enable us to make it a priority to complete what we set as a goal within that timeframe. A date can be changed, but if we never set a date, it's like we're just dreaming. You'll never hit a bull's-eye without the target.
3. Display your goals - keeping track of want you want out of life is important, but let's face it, we are all very busy. We have to set reminders regularly. Display your goals eminently, where you will see them every day, on the fridge, near your computer, above the desk. Come-on, let's face it, there's a many places to display your goals.
4. Track it - as you achieve your goals, track your success. Sign off on your goals as you get done with them and regularly update your goal commitment sheets. Keep them in a file so that you can look back at what you've achieved, and even sometimes remind yourself to get back into the habit of a previous goal.
If you are goal oriented, you've probably already thought of some things you want to be able to get done. And maybe, you already set your goals on regularly. I promise that if you follow these 4 basic steps, you will be closer to the 'You' you've always wanted to be!
