Staying on Track with Your Goals
On the road to achieving personal or professional goals the antagonist within us all, will voice its concerns. Use the internal forces to drive you forward. Everyone has fears! Take full responsibility for your actions or inactions. Doing nothing is a huge clue to unconscious stuckness! Learn how to handle your fears, change them and go from feeling crippled or accomplished!
Think about all the times that you did get to the finish line. Here are some common examples.
First day at school or college?
What about getting your chores done?
When you start a new job?
What about at work when you are pressed to complete tasks you don’t love?
What about when you’ve ended something difficult?
We often remember the times we failed or felt like a failure. These events compound over time and settle into your psyche and pile on the feelings of defeat. This can demote you in the future. Over the past three decades, I’ve launched businesses and started new career paths. Being unsuccessful has definitely contributed to me shying away from starting new ventures. Now I tell myself, “I successfully tried!”
The Strong Willed Keep Going
Take the world’s top athletes, they train their minds and bodies to produce miraculous and consistent results. I think about Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer who play with passion and are infatuated with their purpose. They are incredible tennis players who changed the face of tennis. How did they continue achieving their goals? Mindset! Self-image! They accept challenges will come with losses but without trying they will never know if they will win. They go with the mindset to win, not lose!
When faced with errors on the court, they adjust their strategies, they look for ways to improve themselves, and most of all they live in the moment! When they lose, they acknowledge their opponent played the better game, they shake off the past and strive for a better today!
It is important to live for another day. To nurse yesterday’s scars. To know you still have a life to live. Try learning from your past and improve from observing others. It is essential to celebrate your attempts and see them has your triumphs.
In my previous blog, I gave 3 tips to achieving your goals, and I said, “setting goals isn’t the problem, it is starting them”. Often, past experiences and fear hold us back but you can work through them.
Try the below exercise
The first part of the exercise will help you move through any negative self-talk. Take a moment to think about some positive outcomes you have reached. Make a list of these positive tasks/goals. Easy or difficult. Big or small.
As examples, here are some of mine.
In my early 30’s, I bought a house.
After 13 years, I went back to college.
After 25 years of living in the USA, I took a giant leap and moved back to UK.
Through the pandemic, I did some new trainings.
I’ve overcome suicide.
Don’t you feel good about how far you have come in your life and what you have accomplished thus far?!! The positives matter! Now, you’ve remembered that you are good at keeping on track with your goals continue to the next steps.
Your Future
The second part of the exercise, will help you stay on track and work with your future self. The goal of this exercise is to step into your desired outcome, think of your current goal. Don’t worry if you don’t get any details about how and what you created in your future that can be sorted out later once you have removed any blockages.
Do this exercise physically on the floor.
Mark a straight line that represents your past, present, and future.
Stand on the line in the place that feels like the present, and face your future. Think about the goal you’d like to achieve and make a picture of it. Make the image in your mind bright and exact/perfect as you need. Some of you are general manifestor’s, meaning are a bigger picture person and are less concerned about the details. Some of you are specific manifestor’s, meaning you are detailed and are more descriptive.
Using positive language, speak or think about your goal.
For example,
I am to earning $10,000 per month or I want to earning $10,000 per month.
I am living in my dream home or I want be living in my dream home.
I am marrying my dream partner or I have married my dream partner.
Specify a time in the future, you’d like to achieve this goal. (a week, 6 months, a year, etc).
Now, counting from 5 to 1, walk towards your future. When you get to 1, take a step into your future space. Now, feel how you feel, get a sense of how your life feels in this future space.
Note, how your future self feels. They may feel more confident, calm, etc.
Stay here as long as you need, filling every cell of your body and mind with the positives.
When you are ready, come back to your present point.
Look at yourself in the future and notice how different you feel.
You can continue going back and forth from your present to the future self. This builds neural pathways to the future version of yourself.
Repeat the exercise as many times as you need and especially when you feel stuck or doubtful. After a while, you may do this in your mind vs on the floor. I use this exercise often, especially when I am feeling stuck and need to unblock myself from my constant inner chatter. The self-talk that gets in my way of doing anything.
In conclusion, your brain is a powerful, intricate, and fragile marvel. Once you tap into the crevices in your psyche that have disturbed your original self-image you will begin to feel whole. Remember, you are whole, you’ve just lived a life that took you far away from what I call your “true original self!”
