Steps to achieving your goals ...

• Get yourself into a good OK state one in which you can think freely and in a relaxed way. Maybe you have a place where you can go that is conducive to this state - if so go there.
• Ask yourself 'What do I really want?' Now ask it again and again until you are really tapping into what you really want. Keep going until you have stripped away any element of 'should' or 'must' or 'try to'. As someone said to me recently 'Don't should on yourself.'
• Check that the goal that you are considering is within your control - that it does not depend on anyone else for you to achieve it. For that reason it is likely to be in the category of skills that you would like to develop or the kind of person that you wish to become or a purpose in life that you want to fulfill.
• Imagine a time when you would like to have achieved this and step into that time - 'stand in the accomplishment'. I have a friend who has bought a plot of land and who is having a house built. The house is only in the planning phases but he often goes to his plot of land and stands in it imagining himself in the finished house.
• As you stand in the accomplishment explore what that is like from your own eyes and ears and feelings. What do you see, hear and feel both physically and emotionally? Is there anything that would make this more satisfying for you - if so make it that now. Explore what it is like to be in the accomplishment of the goal until you have enriched it in all senses.
• Think of the significant people in your life. Take each of them by the hand with you into this desired state. Have them explore it with you. How is it compelling for them - as much of a WIN for them as it is for you? Is there anything that you need to do to make it a WIN for them - if so do that now.
• Ask yourself how the realisation of this goal is a step on a journey to a higher goal, a longer-term vision or purpose. You may not have words for this but may have a sense of how this is a part of something much bigger.
• As you imagine yourself having achieved the goal think back to the steps that you took to get to this point of achievement. What price did you have to pay to get here? What was the first step on your journey that set the momentum going?
• Decide how you can remember the feeling of being here in this desired state. Maybe there is an image or a sound or a touch that can enable you to recall the state whenever you choose. Decide what you want it to be.
• Now step out of the desired state so that you are back in the present. What is the first step that you are willing to absolutely commit to that will move you in the direction of achieving the goal? Are you willing to commit to this - if so what is it specifically that you are willing to commit to and when are you willing to do this. Now do it!
