It’s an old saying that goes something like, “you have a goal in mind, someone else for you is set.” It is true. How often have you bought something, you rarely used? How many relationships have you entered, which, as you thought back on what you wanted? How many times have you asked how you ended up where you are?
Many of these can be refer not with set goals and/or not back on them.
If you have set a target in a specific area, you can much more susceptible to external influences. This depends on a lot of advertising. Let us face it – you make everything sound like it the coolest what is in the world.
It reminds me of a friend of mine who has a lot of knick-knack to his place. If he is in a store and he sees something he likes he mentally it is somewhere on a shelf or table in his house, he mentally his bank balance checks and if there is enough in the Bank, he buys it.
What’s missing? Check with his larger goals! While with a target may find a cool place he meets what about his other goals? In particular, which consider its financial goals?
What if some of my friend to set financial goals? Wanted to do what, when he build a secure financial future and saw a certain savings in dollars, which would for him? And what if he knew is like that (pardon the pun) in terms of service, what he broke every year to reach, that must do?
In this case could he see the cool stuff in the store, and questions are, “How is buying this fit in my financial goals?” My guess is that it’s not. The target could serve as a beacon in its decision-making.
If this sounds boring and not really fun there will not be. If you your unconscious mind good instructions feed, yes most of this filtering for you. You have not even think about. Then, you get automatically excited and motivated, when they are displayed things with your goals. And decisions happen easily because we integrated a lamp for your decisions.
Affirmations are good. Self hypnosis is good. The new behavior generator is good. How to set goals with NLP is good. Even just thinking about what it is that you want in the most important areas of your life and write down it can be really effective! I would suggest these categories to a minimum…
