How to Set Goals and Vision?

December 20, 2022 · In: Lifestyle

Have you set your personal goals and vision for 2023? When people ask “what are your goals” or “what’s your vision for your life?” does it make you want to retreat to a different conversation at the cocktail party?  Thankfully there’s a way to figure out your personal vision, so that you can make daily decisions that move you closer and closer to your highest hopes and personal mission.  And best of all, it will move you closer to your values and ultimately your personal joy.

When you have goals and a vision for a project, your job, or your life, then every action and decision can support it.  It also helps you prioritize because you can ask yourself “does this decision move me towards or away from my goals and vision?”

Then, once you have the goals and vision, your unconscious mind will go to work for you.  It will sift and sort the inputs from your world, looking for evidence to support and move you towards your vision.  You will literally “see” the world differently, because you’ve fine tuned your filters.

Why does this work?

In every moment we receive over 40 billion pieces of information, but our conscious mind can only process about 40 of those items.  Like tuning the channel on your TV set, you can change which 40 things make it to your conscious reality.

The trick is, left alone, our mind cannot always arrive at the goals and vision by itself, because societal conditioning teaches us not to get too big for our britches.  We have an inner governor that throttles our creativity.

The way to get past the governor is the magic of asking questions.  We are going to play a game with ourselves to uncover our personal truth, then tune the filter to match.  So set aside a half hour, grab a notebook and pen, and give this gift to yourself.

If money, talent, time and responsibilities were not in the way, and you could create your ABSOLUTE dream scenario, what would your life look like in the following areas?  Provide as much detail as possible for best results.  

Start at the top of the page, and write until you feel empty about each prompt below.  Describe in great detail to get the best view of what matters to you.

I live in…
My family is…
The first thing I do each morning is…
My car is…
My home is…
The project I’m excited that I just completed is…
My health is…
The person I’m connected with is…
My favorite thing to do on the weekend is…
I’m traveling to…
I’m finally able to…
The best part of my (job, career, business) is…
When I look in the mirror, I see…
I no longer stress about…
I would describe my relationships as…
Spiritually, I am fulfilled by…
Something I’ve always wanted to do is…
The way I feel after doing it is…

Ideally this will fill several pages, where you’ll uncover what matters most.  Now is the fun part!

Write yourself a letter in present tense, about how you feel now that all these things have happened.  Talk about each of these items, from the point of view that it already happened, easily and effortlessly, and how you feel now that it’s all happened. What DOES it feel like to be aligned and in flow with your vision and goals?

Keep it near your daily meditation space, your desk, wherever you will make time to regularly read it.  Our unconscious mind is unaware of time, and will think this is already true.  The unconscious mind will use this insight to ferry the 40 items a second that support this vision.

I do this exercise once a year, and for both me and my clients, we’ve found over time that more and more of the vision comes true, and other parts morph as we grow.  Most of all, by regularly reviewing your vision, you can think about the actions and decisions you make as either moving you TOWARDS or AWAY from your ideal.

Sometimes I do choose the treat that takes me away from my visions of health, not gonna lie.   And I forgive myself and enjoy the treat guilt free.  Other days I’ll make a different decision, and on all days I’m making an informed decision. I talk about the joys of eating keto but some days I go ahead and enjoy as part of being a survivor. I have a second shot at life, and joy (and spreading joy) is my highest priority.

I’d love to hear in the comments below, what was your greatest learning from doing this visioning exercise?  Any surprises?

🌿 How to stay positive on a busy Monday🌟In a 🌿 How to stay positive on a busy Monday🌟In a world filled with constant distractions and obligations, staying present can be a challenge. But here's the secret: it's not about escaping your busy life; it's about infusing it with mindful awareness. Here are some specific ways to help you cultivate presence:

1. **Morning Rituals:** Start your day with intention. As you sip your morning coffee or tea, savor each sip. 

2. **Breath Awareness:** Throughout the day, pause to take a few deep breaths. Set alarms if you need help remembering! Feel the rise and fall of your chest, the sensation of the air passing through your nostrils. This simple act can ground you in the moment.

3. **Mindful Eating:** During meals, put away your devices and focus on the flavors, textures, and smells of your food. Eating mindfully not only enhances the dining experience but also nourishes your body and soul. It also helps you love even more the healthful choices you are making!

4. **Nature Connection:** Spend time in nature if possible. Get out of the office, or at home get out of your grind. Observe the beauty around you – Nature has a way of grounding us in the present.

5. **Single-Tasking:** Instead of multitasking, dedicate your attention fully to one task at a time. Whether it's work, reading, or washing dishes, immerse yourself completely in what you're doing.

6. **Mindful Listening:** When in conversation, truly listen to the other person. Put away the urge to formulate your response while they speak. Be present with their words.

For me, mindfulness is a practice. It's okay when my mind wanders; I gently guide it back to the present without judgment. As a recovering perfectionist, embracing these moments of presence has helped me discover a deeper connection to life's beauty. 🌼

Can you believe my art scarves go through this las Can you believe my art scarves go through this last step?! 😂 Puffy clouds of wool get a warm soapy bath and rolled, then this step is called “fulling the wool.” It’s amazing to me that such a delicate appearing art form survives this step! 

🔥 An allegory for life…after the ups of a warm bath and the downs of getting smashed, something beautiful emerges. 

🌸 I plan to embrace todays ups and downs by remembering in every moment that I’m doing the best I can with what I know. 🌸 

✏️What’s a way you plan to embrace your own ups and downs this week 🙌🏼💕

I used to shy away from calling myself an artist. I used to shy away from calling myself an artist.  After all, I haven’t been to art school.  Imposter syndrome was living large.  If I call myself an artist, people might criticize me.  They may scoff at my self-proclamation.

Truth is, we are ALL artists.  As humans we are born to create things, and the ways to create are as numerous as the souls on this planet.

You are an artist.  You are an artist in the kitchen.  You are an artist with the creative solution to that work problem.  You are an artist volunteering at school and in the community. 

And let’s go larger.  You are anything that you declare that you are.  Which means we can declare ourselves as victors or losers.  I’m sure I’m not the only one here who has declared to myself that I’m blowing it in some way. 

That behavior does not serve us.  Declare what you love about yourself.  Flip negatives to positives.  Remember that age old adage that people believe what we believe, so why not be first to believe in YOU

This is a cowl I made for Placer Artists Tour happening this November.  Want to see it sooner?  Visit my booth this Saturday 10am-3pm at Hot Chili Cool Cars.  There’s so much to see, and it’s an awesome chance to plug into our community! 

So back to you, given what I wrote, what loving thing could you declare about yourself today?  Shout it out, let’s hear it!

🌟 Finding Our Path 🌟 Life hasn’t always be 🌟 Finding Our Path 🌟
Life hasn’t always been a smooth journey for me.  Like ocean waves, I’ve experienced the highs of parenting and career, and the lows of cancer and divorce.

Sometimes, I felt lost and uncertain about my purpose. When I found out I had late stage cancer when my kids were under three, I was on my heels.  After years of hiking and biking, eating well, exercising and prioritizing sleep, I was in disbelief.

After my recovery, I’ve been on a decades long path of self-discovery and transformation. Through the highs and lows, I learned to embrace my inner strength and resilience.  And I found my path. 

I want to help anyone who’s ready to find their path to joy.  I’m here to guide you on your unique journey. 

🙌 Together, we can uncover your true potential and write a new chapter of your life story. Let’s turn your dreams into reality. 💪
