Setting and Achieving the Right Goals for 2020
It is a fabulous new year. That means you have opportunities that are lying ahead of you. Some you might be aware of and some that you don’t even have a clue are coming your way.
I wanted to start this new year and decade off on the right foot, and that’s setting goals, but you have to set them right. You need to set them properly; otherwise, you won’t achieve them.
How many goals have you set every year, and next year you set the same goal, and the year after that, you set the same goal, and it’s not because it’s you love this goal, and you want to keep doing it. It’s because you are not achieving it. This is the year to accomplish your goal.
I’ve got an exercise I want you to do today and it’s wonderful because you put your mind in a different place so you can be excited about the new year coming.
I’ve talked about this before, and I’m just going to talk about it again because it’s always a good reminder, and that’s what I call the “Best Year Ever Exercise.” I learned this exercise from Dean Graziosi, but I have tweaked it a bit with some of the things that I do. You want 2020 to be the best year, the year of clear vision, rewards, blessings, abundance, and dreams coming true. That’s what I’m looking for, and this is one of the ways I do it.
What goals should you set?
The Challenge
One of the challenges a lot of people struggle with is setting a goal. What is it that they want? What is it they want to achieve or accomplish? It starts in the realm of, “I want to be healthier. I want to be this and that.” The problem is they set the goal because everyone tells them they should and that’s how to improve, etc. True they want to be healthier but is this the right goal to set?
They don’t understand what it is they’re trying to achieve. This exercise, the Best Year Ever, is really simple and I want to share the 5 steps to doing it. However, before we get to the steps, get some paper. You’re going to need a sheet of paper, several sheets if you are a big dreamer. On this sheet of paper, write,
2020 was the best year ever because …
allow your brain to fill it out. Whatever it may be. Don’t limit yourself. If you say it was the best year ever because you went on vacation, then great, put that down. You don’t want to allow finances, health, friends or family to hinder your vision. If you say you did something or you got a raise or whatever it may be, do NOT limit yourself. Write it down and keep allowing your brain to dump on this sheet of paper.
Setting the right goals for 2020 by writing your story that will make it the best year ever!
Steps for Setting the Right Goals
Step 1 – write your story. Pretend like it’s January 1st, 2021 and 2020 just ended and write 2020 was the Best Year Ever because and fill it out with everything that happened to make it the Best Year Ever.
Step 2 – Reread it. Reread what you wrote. You will have written down things that made it the best year ever, for example, let’s say it was the best year because we went on a vacation to Disneyland, and I connected with my wife, whatever it may be, you decide what made it the best year ever.
