- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - have a theraputic meltdown
- Have a therapeutic meltdown It's crunch time: you're two days behind and the deadline's looming, your dog just ate your last clean hard copy of that oh-so-vital data and the helpful people at your computer company's customer service seem to have left the building - while you're stuck on hold looking at the "blue screen of death." Time to lose it - constructively. Get up and stomp an...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - create a soundtrack
- Choose a personal theme song and soundtrack that stirs you and refocuses you on your goal What would a superhero be without theme music? And what about those soundtracks used in the movies to make sure that those of us in the audience are either gripping our seats or bawling our eyes out on cue? Why not do the same for your life? Choose a song that seems to "say it all" about how you feel a...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - friendly competition
- Friendly competition Get together with a group of like-minded friends who are committed to reaching the same, or similar, goals. Brainstorm ways to "compete" in reaching those goals, decide on the timing and logistics of regular "check-in" meetings and perhaps set up a system of rewards. Example: A group of friends all wish to lose weight. They decide to buy inexpensive pedometers t...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - make a game out of it
- Make a game out of reaching your goals Go to a yard sale and pick up a cheap board game, if you don't have any "throw away" games at home. Sit down and brainstorm a way to transform the game into goal-completion fun. Use contact paper to cover the old instructions or commands, and write in new ones with a permanent marker. Use stickers, arts and craft supplies, etc., to dress up the game to...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - believe in your own divine nature
- Believe in your own Divine nature Despite the varying religious backgrounds that the world offers, all religions have one thing in common - a belief that their deity ordains each person's existence here on earth, usually through direct assistance in the birth process by the creation and gifting of a soul. That means that you are here because the omnipotent creator of the Universe thinks it'...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - never settle for what you can currently imagine
- Never settle for what you can currently imagine You are a captive of your own imagination. In other words, your wildest dreams form the outer limit of what you believe to be achievable. However, there are many people who are living lives, doing things, and creating realities that are so far beyond what you could ever imagine that it will simply never occur to you to think about it - unless ...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - step into your own truth
- Create a truth and step into it There is a saying in self-help circles that states, "Your mind can't take a joke." What this means is that whatever you believe to be true is true, at least as far as your mind is concerned. One dramatic example of this is what most people refer to as psychosomatic illnesses. There are many examples of this, such as false pregnancies and allergies that trigge...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - create a nurturing environment
- Create an environment that is so inspiring and nurturing that it does half the work for you When your work and living space are cluttered and dirty, when dishes are piled up in the sink or when your wardrobe is uninspiring, energy that you need to meet your goals will be bled out of you like a battery being run down by a forgotten dome light. You need all of the energy you currently have ju...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - a higher purpose
- Find a higher reason to reach your goal than just the goal itself I need to be mentally sharp, physically and emotionally alert, and spiritually on top of things in order to do a good job for my clients. Knowing that none of these are possible without good physical fitness, when I feel like skipping or cutting a workout short, I repeat my mantra "Strong body, strong mind, strong spirit," an...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - using eastern wisdom
- Take a page from Eastern wisdom Meditation, martial arts that focus on disciplining the mind as well as the body, and chi-releasing massage and yoga can all help you reach your goals by clearing your mind, teaching you how to block out distractions, and showing you how to deal effectively with obstacles. The disciplines of Eastern mind-body arts are a great help when stress or outside influ...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - the fine art of the end run
- Perfect the fine art of the end run From time to time, the path to your goals is going to run smack into someone else's version of reality, which they may not be happy to have you "play through." In these cases, shift your direction of movement off-road and work around, rather than through, the problem. There are two important points to remember when doing an end run: Win-win is alwa...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - start a round robin
- Start a "round robin" goal letter with others who need a little motivation and accountability If you know a few people who are working on projects of their own (and lets face it, how many people do you know who aren't) ask them if they'd be interested in starting a "success round robin." Participants do not have to be aiming for the same goals for this to work. Start by writing a le...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - get your act together
- Get your act together Make sure that you have all the equipment, tools, resources, clothes and attitude you need to successfully reach your goal - before you start in on it. Nothing spoils a motivated mood faster than having to drop everything to find a pair of well-hidden tin snips, or getting to the gym and discovering that the skin-tight leotard you borrowed at the last minute from your ...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - temp your way to the top
- Temp your way to the top Want to take the test for a software certification, but feeling a bit rusty? Need to brush up on your mechanic skills before tackling the full rebuild of that gas-and-oil-guzzler staining up your driveway? Or perhaps you need to re-enter the networking circle of your chosen work-from-home career after a few years out of the loop, but don't want to get trapped into t...
-
- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - aim for the impossible
- Choose "impossible" goals When faced with a hard-to-reach goal, your best strategy may be to shoot even higher. Like aiming a punch or a kick "beyond" the target, aiming impossibly high will at least get you where you need to be, and will quite likely create a vacuum-like momentum that will pull you far beyond what you thought possible. One of the reasons that this works is that by ...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - creative multi-tasking
- Multi-task goal-completion work with everyday, "have to" activities If you need to lose weight, don't take the dogs for a leisurely stroll - jog or power-walk them. Use the time you spend waiting at various appointments for catching up on trade reading or creating the materials/writing the outline for your next stunning teleclass or seminar. Take the opportunity to practice your character d...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - bring in the big guns
- Bring in the big guns People love to be needed, and love to be thought of as a leader in their field even more. If you could use a hand reaching a goal, ask around until you find someone in the field who seems universally respected and on the ball. Call them up and explain that you are trying to break into the field (be sure and choose someone for whom you will not represent up-and-coming c...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - get professional help
- Get professional help There's no rule that says you have to do it all yourself. There is a whole world of people outside your door (and maybe even in your house) who are capable of tackling parts of your project that you can't handle, or don't have the time for. Take advantage of them if that's what it takes to get the job done! After all, success is the issue, not proving you're Superman o...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - delegate your life
- Delegate your life If you're having problems finding the time or energy to handle your everyday activities, let alone getting to your goal, "hire out" the other stuff in your life to clear up mental and physical energy for the sole purpose of reaching your goal. Assign distractions that don't require your personal involvement - like dinner-making, house-cleaning, errand-running and phone-an...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - progressive goal party
- Hold a "progressive" goal party If you have a group of friends with the same goal who live in close proximity (or who can meet up comfortably in a third-party establishment), get them involved in a progressive goal party. The idea is to meet at one location, where you all complete one part of the goal as a group, then move on to the next (carpool or walk) to complete the second part, and so...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - measure twice, cut once
- Measure twice, cut once Just as in carpentry, making sure that your decisions are based on sound data is essential to reaching your goals. Ensure that you know precisely what is going to be required to make your dreams come true, and that you meet these criteria and are capable of the sustained effort necessary. For some goals, such as being a pitcher for the New York Yankees, a certain set...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - visualize success
- Visualize success, and what you'll do to reward yourself A goal envisioned is a goal half completed. Most people find it difficult if not impossible to expend large amounts of energy on something that they can't "see" as existing in their reality. Creating that vision before starting out on your journey creates a real destination in your mind, which is infinitely preferable to just wanderin...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reach your goals - review and refine
- Periodically re-check and refine (or redefine) your goals It's no use struggling to meet a goal that, by the time you get there, no longer fits in with your life. During obvious stopping spots along the way (say, every 10 lbs on a weight loss goal, or when you've saved enough for a down payment as part of a house-ownership goal), take a few days to sit back and really feel how you are react...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - The core curriculum of a wonderful life
- An acquaintance of mine once lamented that she was utterly frustrated with her lack of progress toward her dreams, given her age. According to her outlook, if you hadn't made it by then, you weren't anywhere near as likely to do so afterwards. A very late bloomer indeed, she ranted, and going to seed before the blush was off the rose, to boot. Ouch. Fortunately, I didn't believe a word of it and n...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Three gratifying ways to add abundance to your life
- Abundance is intangible, spiritual and attracts energy. To attract this type of energy you need to define it, for when you name it, you can claim it. Your definition of abundance is as personal as your DNA. Abundance is the same feeling you have when all the toothpaste is gone and you realize with a sigh that there is a spare in the cabinet. Emotional abundance is having reserves available...

- e-Learning is doubling yearly. Classes, e-courses, e-books on how-to and what-to appear by the thousands online weekly. In-person seminars and workshops are limited to location and access. e-Learning allows easy access, creation, and international distribution to a whole new world of experiences -- negative and positive.

- Step 1: List all the business activities that you complete (regularly or not). Examples: phone calls, meetings, paperwork, projects, sales, follow-up procedures, writing, learning/researching, web site design, delivering core services (substitute name), etc. Yes, this might seem time consuming. You will need to trust in this process and wait for the benefits to appear. You can create the li...

- I am unashamed to copy the peak performance techniques of peak performers.Since "imitation is the highest form of flattery," I am pleased to flatter one whose success I admire.After all, I am after the success. Originality is great, but reaching my goal is the issue.However, there are limits.Olympic champion swimmer Michael Phelps, winner of six goal medals and eight ov...
