Step 3 - What will these goals get for you?

If you have committed to the short tasks I gave you last week, you are ready for the next step. That is to ask yourself what will achieving these goals get for you?

So, take the first area you have on you sheet. Look at what you have written down, considering this along with any bigger goals you have in this area of your life, ask yourself what will this get for you? How will you be feeling when you have achieved these goals?

For instance, if you want to earn extra money, why?  For what purpose and what will this give you?  Ask yourself what will this allow you to do, be and feel?  If the money is so you can buy your house at the beach, what will this give you? It could be freedom, or it could give you validation or allow you to feel special or acknowledged. Nut down to the core feeling and be honest and acknowledge any feelings you may have, of being special, getting attention, unique, or feeling proud, being in control. It is these that drive the more “glossy” reasons such as financial freedom, peace and happiness!

Do this simple exercise for all of the areas.

That is it. Short and sweet.  When you realise that what you want, such as a beach house will give you your needs of feeling validated, or special, or in control, this can make a big difference in being able to focus on your goals and may even allow you to put the foot on the accelerator.

Until next time, remember Your Mindset Matters!
