Quick Motivational tip #7
November 26th, 2007 | by Jeniffer |Don’t just write down your goals.
Look at them.
Often.
Jack Canfield, co-creator of the Chicken Soup For the Soul series, suggests in his book, The Success Principles, that you do this at least three times each day.
Read each goal, one at a time, then visualize them as if you had already accomplished them.
Although he suggests writing them on cards, I keep mine in my notebook. My notebook is a menagerie of notes about ideas for posts, journal entries, and my gratitude journal.
Because it is a book I refer to often, I see my goals in it every day.
As well, I find just envisioning the goal as I wrote it to be helpful. I can literally picture the words on a page, like a photograph.
This helps reinforce them as well.
Some people find the use of photographs which represent the completion of their goal to be helpful. They pore over magazines and newspapers, clipping photos like maniacs, then create a goal completion collage. This is a series of photographs, which they display where they can see them often, depicting their goal as completed.
Whatever method you use, make certain it is one which will work for you.
