This years Great NEWS posts are dedicated to sharing Healthy Habits for a Great 2015 and today we focus on the healthy habit of Written Goals and Action Plans. Our mind is the control center for our conscious choices, planning and thinking. To be happy, healthy and holistic in all areas of our wheel of life we need a vision for our future and a detailed map with directions to get us there. To help insure success in all eight of our wheel of life areas it is essential to develop the healthy habit of having Written Goals and Action Plans.
To enjoy a great 2015 we must begin by focusing our attention and energy on directing our mind. Since our mind is directing our daily beliefs, behaviors and rituals we must invest the time to think about our dreams, mission and vision in life and then consciously write out the goals and action plans that will create our dream life. This post is written in January because it is one of the most important times to make sure we have reviewed our life lessons from the year before and begin redirecting, reenergizing and reprogramming our mind with the revisions needed to shift gears in any area of our wheel or life that is out of balance or not performing well.
The Magic of Written Goals and Action Plans
Our mind can easily be distracted by all the advertisements, gadgets, noise and shiny toys that are constantly being placed in our life.
Our mind can easily be distracted by all the advertisements, gadgets, noise and shiny toys that are constantly being placed in our life. Most people do not realize that if you do not have written goals and action plans to accomplish them the world is full of companies and people who do have them.
Guess who will win the game of life in the end. Of course the company or person with a written business plan, marketing plan and website that clearly describes and defines their values, vision and very clear offering with the most determination will win.
One of the best things you can do after writing your goals and action plans is to look at them right after waking and right before going to sleep at night. This helps us continually program our mind for what is most important in our life. During the day we can easily get off track if we do not constantly check our bearing and compass to keep us on course. Therefore it is essential to have a written set of goals and action plans to constantly remember and review to keep us focused and on track with our life’s passion and purpose.
Our body needs to see, hear and feel an empowering message regarding our mission each day. It needs reminders to keep us alkalized, calm, energized, fit, healthy, nourished and rested each day.
Our mind can get confused, distracted, fuzzy and lazy if we do not constantly remind it of the highest priorities for our peak performance. It is difficult to keep our mind on track with the most important activities if we do not have a clear and concise set of blue prints and directions that continually keep us moving in the right direction to maintain our passion, progress and purpose.
Our spirit wants a message that will keep us inspired and uplifted when the hiccups and speed bumps of life come along. When we are inspired we need the life map to keep us on our path of passion and purpose. Our goals must nurture our spiritual health.
Our relationships can easily suffer if we do not share our goals and action plans to mutually support each other. When we lack the clarity and understanding of what is essential and important our relationships are less supportive and more stressful which contributes to our challenges. We must have a written plan to direct our energy, enthusiasm and excitement for the key relationships in our life. Happy and healthy relationships will flourish more easily when the people around us see that they are a part of our written goals and action plans.
Having written goals and plans is a vital part of our personal development and self growth.
Having written goals and plans is a vital part of our personal development and self growth. Probably every expert and guru on the planet will agree on this. Peak performance requires a lot of determination and drive but if we do not have written goals and action plans we can end up lost in space ship earth.
Our passion, profession and purpose in life are key components of our happiness and health. To be successful in our business, career, profession or even retirement we must have written goals and action plans. Sailing through life is easier and smoother when we have a clear set of written blue prints and plans.
Our finances are highly dependent on having written budgets, expense reports, investment plans and portfolios, tax filings and wills to keep us financially free and independent. When we try to function without good systems and written plans we often let important financial matters become haphazard and hopeless. We must be committed to having well designed plans and continually investing the energy and time to insure our dreams and financial freedom become our future reality.
Not having written goals and actions plans result in people wasting thousands of dollars each year and hundreds of thousands of dollars over a life time that could compound into a million dollar nest egg. Lack of plans is probably the number one reason for the abundance of anger, bankruptcies, depression, disease, divorce, emotional issues, frustration, guilt, sadness, unhappiness and violence in the world. While money may not buy you happiness it is clearly a vital part of having a happy and healthy lifestyle and determining our financial success.
In order to have more abundance in our life it is extremely valuable to have a clear and concise set of written goals and action plans. In order to have more than enough for ourselves and excess to share or spend with others we need a success system. While there are some things in life for free most amentias require an exchange of value we call money. Our level of abundance is directly linked to having a clear vision and mastery action plans that keep us on target and allow others to support our values and vision.
