Today was hard in some ways and easy in others. Projecting and holding positive outcomes in my head is something that I try to do on a regular basis. However, setting dates to goals when you don’t know how or when they will materialize was more challenging. It is the ultimate in releasing control of the outcome. It also creates accountability to yourself and to others if you show them your goal list. Homework was put off to the last minute…um, like now, because it is the first step in stretching yourself beyond your comfort zone. What goals do I write down? How will these goals manifest in the time I have put down? Dates … are … hard! I am trying to make my goals as specific as I can with clear positive parameters and dates.
Once done, instead of reading them 3X’s a day, I am going to record them as a voice memo and listen to it. That is a much easier way to systematize the process. If I can take 10-15 minutes multiple times a day to listen to both my recording vision statement as well as my goals list, I can begin to cement the ideas into my subconscious. I feel like I am blending Jack Canfield’s book with Ann Webb’s Life Vision techniques. It feel right to me.
Toward the end of the chapter, it talks about Jim Carrey and how he wrote him self a check, a $1,000,000 check. I had already done that! A few months ago, I felt compelled to make a “Money Tree.” I wrote myself tons of checks and hung them up in my bedroom where I can see them each morning. Each time I receive a check matching one from the Money Tree, I will sign it “Thank You!”
Tomorrow will be a big day as I finalize the goals and chunk it down into a manageable money map. Take some extra time with this lesson. I am not feeling bad about needing an extra day to get my goals in order. There is only so much I can do in a day!
