⏰ Mindset Minute

{January 24, 2023}

If you read my last two blog posts, you have the what (your goals), you know the why, and who you need to be to achieve them.

Now, it’s time to do something about it.

Here are 3 steps to take inspired action on your goals:

1. Reverse Engineer + Make a Plan
   Start with the end in mind and work backwards. Set a date that you want to have experienced the goal by, then chunk your tasks backward by quarters, months, weeks, etc. Whatever measurement of time works best for you.
   
   This is your plan.
   
   Stick to the plan.*

2. Visualize
This is the fun part. Go back to the goal and get crystal clear about the experience of having already achieved it.

+ What emotions are you feeling? Elated? A sense of pride and accomplishment? Relief and peace?

+ What are you feeling in your body and where? Sensations in your chest? Buzzing in your head? A tingling feeling in your hands and feet?

+ What are you saying to yourself? “You did it! You freaking did it, you glorious human, you!”

You see, when you “act as if” it’s already happened, you mobilize the Reticular Activating System in your brain and your subconscious mind actively looks for ways in which to experience this in your physical reality.

3. Start talking about it (with confidence)

Start talking to TRUSTED people and individuals about what it is you want to achieve and experience. There are people in your life who want to see you succeed and can potentially help you get there faster.

Pro tip: Whatever it is that you want, you can’t do it alone. Well, I mean, you can but it’s gonna be a helluva lot harder and lonelier than it needs to be.

And when you paint the picture that you’ve already visualized with excitement and confidence, people will want to join you and help you!

Bonus step:

4. Let it go
Yeah, I know. This one is the hardest part because after the planning, the visualizing, and the talking about it, it’s hard to release the grip of your excitement and desire.

But if you can give it up to your Creator/the god of your understanding, you’ll open up space for ✨magic✨ to happen.

*Be open to pivots in the plan, but not the end result. Sometimes the Universe throws a wrench in because there’s something better on the other side of it.

After visualizing, try saying, “Let this or something way better come to pass.”
