How do you feel when you think of setting goals?

Do you go into Yay! or Yuck!?

If it’s yuck for you, it could be in how we set up our goal in the first place. The very common approaches to Goal Setting can set us up to fail. Here’s the top 3 tips to setting your goals and making your plans this year.

Watch this video on the Goal Setting Cycle which illustrates how our history with goals gets in our way. (3 minutes)

Our language has the power to focus our mind, even our unconscious mind (yep the unconscious is really real). Here’s three steps to making your goal or PLAN brain friendly.

  1. Call it a PLAN – Plans have wiggle room, plans can change and adapt whereas goals have rigid ideas of success and failure.
  2. Use Positive Language. The words we use can actually set us up to fail. If you’re saying, ‘I want to lose weight’ or ‘I’m not going to eat sugar anymore’ you’re giving your brain the wrong messages. WATCH weight loss goal language here:

It’s not only good for weight loss or weight release, the principle of language applies for any area that you’d like to make a change.

Think of the phrase ‘I want to get out of debt’ and notice how it makes you feel. Now think of the phrase  ‘I am generating extra revenue’ how does that make you feel. Our feelings are the key to our motivations. If it feels heavy, difficult or impossible, its unlikely we’ll follow through.

Make your PLAN BRAIN friendly. State your plan using positive language.

3. Put your PLAN in your Planner! If you are really serious about your PLAN –put it in your planner. That’s the #1 way we fail, we don’t make time for it. What will you do and when?
