Do you have a list of dreams, goals or desires that you consistently put on the back burner? What is holding you back from all the things you want to do? I discovered that if I actually write down the perpetual ever growing list I have in my head, I actually make things happen. Once written, it’s as though I have made a commitment to myself and I have let the universe in on my secret list of goals. Once the universe is involved, it’s game on. Writing thoughts, feelings and goals down makes them real.
At the beginning of each month, I pull out my post it pad, the 3x5 size, and make a list of what I want to accomplish by the end of the month. I may use 1 post it, I may use 5. My list consists of fitness goals, friendship goals, positive thoughts, and rules to live by.
Here are a few examples:
I will follow my intuition
I will move ahead, no backwards movement
I will make smart choices with money
I will be kind to myself
I will sign up for a 10k
I will meet my running partner 3 times a week
I will take at least one day off to allow my body to rest
Once written, I put my post-its in my daily appointment book and I do not look back for thirty days. Thirty days later the results still shock me. The items I wrote down have been achieved, accomplished or are in progress.
Pen to paper is powerful and may be one of the best ways to maximize your potential. The best advice I can offer is this; there is no right or wrong thing to write. It’s all about you. Where you are now and where you want to be. Give my method to stop making excuses a try. Take the first step. Start small, write down two or three goals and see what happens in thirty days. Create new habits and accomplish everything you have spoken or dreamed of doing. I can assure you that you will be as shocked as I am every month.
Keep me posted on your progress.
