Create your best life by Goal Setting...

Are you the kind of person who has a clear picture of where you want to go and what you want to achieve but you never seem to get round to doing anything about it? Or are you just living day to day with no particular focus on what you want? Almost everyone wishes to change something in our lives. Whether it is family life, friendship, career or finances, health or relationships. We all want to change something and the way to get started on this is to set goals.

There are loads of benefits to goal setting and the following are just a few benefits...

1. You take control of your life

Setting goals gives you direction and helps you choose where to go in life. It gives you vision about your ideal future and how you can turn it into reality. When you have achieved the goal, you improve your life and become a better version of yourself.

2. You focus on the important things

Goals help us to sort out what is important and what isn't. You will spend more time focusing on what you want to achieve and establish your priorities based on the long term view of whats important to you.

3. You will be self-confident and enthusiastic

When you set a goal and measure the achievement, you are able to see what you have done and what you are capable of. This process of achieving goals gives you the confidence and a belief in your self and you become enthusiastic too.

4. You will make progress

After you have achieved one goal, you will set your sights higher to achieve higher goals. In the long term, you will see the massive progress you have made.

Always make your goals SMART. 

You can make goals for all areas of your life but for now choose an area your the most motivated to work in.

Then set goals for what you want to achieve in the next 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.

Once you've done that write down your actionable steps and start making them happen.

Have an empowered and focused week.

Acknowledge your Achievements

This week I decided to pull a card from the Gaia Oracle by Toni Carmine Salerno, which is very apt as I wanted to write about this anyway.

The card I pulled is 'Achievement' and your message is as follows...

You will soon achieve a goal you had set for yourself. Your hard work and persistence is about to pay off. Know that you deserve all the success that is coming your way. Quietly acknowledge this to yourself as you celebrate your achievements. Thank the Earth and the Universe for this blessing in the knowledge that all you do is a co-creation with the higher powers that be. Then refocus your attention back to the task at hand. Do not lose sight of your original purpose and intention. This is only the beginning; much more can be accomplished provided you keep focused on your dream. Remember what is truly important to you. It may be helpful to set a new goal. This could be bigger and more fulfilling than you ever imagined.

Keep focused on your dream...make your goals, then make your action steps all the time keeping your dreams in mind.

Here is a little affirmation to go with the card....You can use this or make your own.

I give thanks for all the success coming my way.

All I do is a co-creation with my higher self and the universal light of love.

I keep focused on my dream.

What I imagine, I create.

I am grateful for what I have achieved.

Embracing Fear!

Yes you heard that right, Embrace it. Fear is natural, normal and healthy. It is part of our survival mechanism.
Unfortunately, sometimes fear can take us over in an unhealthy way and stop us from moving forward.
If you are experiencing any fear at all in your life right now. It is a sign that you are about to take a very important step forward on your path.

Are you trying to do too much at once? Take some baby steps, do one small thing at a time and focus on that.
Often where there is fear, there is a lack of faith and the one thing we fear to do, is the very thing which will lead us to our own empowerment. 
Fear is the factor which we must all overcome in order to step into our power.

Mini Exercise:
Breathe, and as you relax your body and release your mind. Trust yourself. Trust in the Universe. Surround yourself with the energy of unconditional love and support, however it works for you. Notice where the fear sits in your body, notice how it feels, does it have a shape, a colour? Just sit with that fear, all the while surrounding yourself with that loving supportive energy. It will dissipate.

Remember, fear is just a feeling, not a reality.  Your heart is calling for you to go onwards and upwards. Be fearless, and Go big. You know you can do it and are fully supported on your journey.

Do You Feel Worthy?

Self-esteem or Self-worth is your opinion of yourself. Everyone lacks confidence sometimes but people with low self-worth are unhappy or unsatisfied with themselves most of the time. Low self-worth can cause problems including depression and anxiety.

Do you find yourself self-criticising, do you doubt your own abilities and avoid challenges, maybe you push yourself too hard through your constant intent for things to be perfect. Maybe you're full of anger and bully others, or you could just be unkind to yourself, eating the wrong foods and not letting yourself do the things that give you the most joy. 

STOP!! Right now, if you ever catch yourself doing any of this, say to yourself STOP. You must be the most important person in your life. Give yourself some self-love. Focus on what is awesome and remarkable about you. When you truly care for yourself, you are more able to care for others and make a difference in their lives. Value yourself first and others will value you.

Here are a few things you can do to amp up your self-worth...

Self-esteem is strongly related to how you view and react to the things that happen in your life. 

1.   Talk to yourself in a positive way – treat yourself as you would your    best  friend. Be supportive, kind and understanding. Don’t be hard on  yourself  when you make a mistake.

2.   Challenge negative ‘self-talk’ – every time you criticise yourself, stop      and look for objective evidence that the criticism is true. You will realise    that most of your negative self-talk is unfounded.

3.   Don’t compare yourself to others – know that everyone is different.  Make an effort to accept yourself, warts and all.

4.   Acknowledge the positive – don’t brush off compliments, dismiss your  achievements as ‘dumb luck’ or ignore your positive traits.

5.  Appreciate your  awesomeness – remind yourself of your good points  every day. Write a list and refer to it often. (If you feel you can’t think of  anything good about yourself, ask a friend to help you write the list.)

6.   Let go of the past – concentrate on living in the here-and-now rather    than reliving old hurts and disappointments.

7.   Give yourself a positive message everyday – buy a set of ‘inspirational  cards’ and start each day reading out a new card and carrying the card’s    message with you all day.

8.   Stop worrying – ‘worry’ is simply fretting about something that hasn't    even happened. Accept that you can’t see or change the future and try to  keep your thoughts in the here-and-now.

9.   Have fun – schedule enjoyable events and activities into every week.

10.  Exercise – it is such a good boost to the brain for all kinds of things but    especially in combatting depression and helping you to feel good. 

11.  Be assertive – communicate your needs, wants, feelings, beliefs and    opinions to others in a direct and honest manner.

12.  Practise the above suggestions every day – it takes effort to replace  unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with healthier versions. Give yourself  time to establish the new habits. Keep a diary or journal to chart your  progress.
