Why You Need To Keep It Simple, Seriously!
2021, the year of Building Boundaries and showing up fully, as self, in all relationships. This is the year to keep things simple, to live a simple life, and to minimize your life so your happiness goes up and your stress goes down. Goal setting is often what people do the first week of the year, and I think it’s great, I will be as well. However, my strategy for setting goals is simple and it works for me! I think about goal-setting the same way I think about hosting a dinner. There’s only a few things you need for a successful dinner party, so the goal is to figure out exactly what those items are – and execute!
After You Make A Goal
After you make a declaration, goal, or intention, it is now time to execute the plan. A goal or dream without execution is nothing but lip service. The new year allows us to set new goals, do a vision board, write out goals, and refocus. Personally, I don’t do vision boards because it’s too much work, it’s more stuff to be laying around, and they honestly don’t inspire me. I am not saying that others should not do them. I am saying I don’t and that I have a more effective way to go about things (I’ll show you below). I like to make simple goals and take consistent action towards them; that’s my plan, and it has worked for me every time I stayed consistent. It worked as a former football player; it worked as a manager in Corporate America when I led teams; it works now as an author, podcaster, and father.
Simple Approach To Goals:
Write your SPECIFIC goals down for the next 12 weeks.
Execute the SPECIFIC actions it takes to reach the goals.
OBSERVE during the process, and after on, how things went.
Make adjustments for the next 12 weeks, or continue what works.
As you begin to dial in your focus, please keep it simple. Ask straightforward but specific questions like, "What behaviors do I need to do more of, and what do I need to do less of?" And once you set the plan, you have to execute; if you can't execute, then it means you don't have the right strategy.
Most people have too many goals, and that is often why so many people cannot execute. We have to keep it simple, so we can hone in and focus with great intensity.
I am sending you love. I will be explaining this mindset in great detail on Jan 7th on the "Boundaries With Self" bonus call. You can register for the call by clicking here.
This offering will help you get focused for the next 12 weeks; it's going to give you the exact things I'm doing. I only have three goals this quarter; I'll share what they are and the step-by-step process for reaching them. All of this talk will then be added to my most popular course, Build Your Boundaries, http://buildyourboundaires.net.
There are 75 students enrolled in the course now; do not register for the call if you are one. I will send you a private email link for you to join this offering, as well. I can't wait to see you on Jan 7th; I'm so excited to teach the Boundaries With Self.
