Sounds scary doesn’t it? Woke up this morning feeling, well, excited; its like when you are getting ready for a first date or to go on fabulous holiday and you feel excited, nervous, full of anticipation and to think I get to feel like that about the rest of my life, how cool is that?!

So, grabbing hold of my life and squeezing every last inch of happiness and fun out of it I am off to the gym for a PT session and then I have  client this afternoon; I can’t wait to start applying the techniques and language patterns to every day life and to see how they can enrich all areas of my life.

First things first; GOALS.  I have always thought goals were important to me and that was reinforced when Paul McKenna did his timeline exercise last year, my goals became really clear and have guided my decision making the last few months.  Don’t think I would have achieved all I have the last six months without having understood my goals and the steps that form a part of each one.

No matter what you are doing, or in what area of your life, it’s really important to understand two things;

1. Where you are now
2. Where you want to be

We all need to understand where we are now, how we feel, what that looks like – it is only by understanding this that we can recognise what we want and how we want to feel so spend a few minutes today thinking about how you feel now, your achievements, successes, troubles, worries etc anything that helps to get a handle on where you are in your life right now!

Now think about what you really want your life to look like, where do you want to be, what do you want to achieve and when – what does that look like, what does it feel like, what do you see, what do you hear. Do you truly understand what your hopes, dreams and goals are?

If we can understand where we are and where we want to be we can better understand the steps needed to bridge that gap and rather than it seeming like a vast chasm between the two points it can become a ladder of smaller steps each one building to the ultimate end goal of a brighter better future.

Have a wonderful, happy, healthy weekend.
