On December 31st 2009 I decided this was going to be the year I turned everything around. I got drunk at a New Years Party and something deep clicked within me and I knew that the fresh new year would be different if it killed me. From the inside looking out, here are some of the tips that actually work.<!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">1. Set habits that support your goals<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"> &#8211; You might have a goal to earn $1000\/month from something you are passionate about. A great idea is to install relevant habits in your life, one month at a time. Resolve to do one thing every day for 30 days to make that habit automatic.I often make goals in my head and they stay there. A calendar month is perfect for this.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">You could set the habit of<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">Writing 1000 words per day <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">Contacting 10 prospective buyers per day etc <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">Attempting a new diet <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">Daily exercise <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">The amazing thing is that when the month is over, your goals are going to happen. It&#8217;s just a matter of time and enjoying the ride. The habit will be so deeply ingrained within you that you will not even think of it as work or effort, it will just come to you naturally.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">Three months down the line you could have contacted 900 prospective business partners, exercised daily for 90 days, wrote a book or two with the 90,000 words you&#8217;ve wrote or totally turned your diet around. When you start stacking habits one after another with a new one each month then you totally change as a person and it&#8217;s a beautiful experience. Putting this formula to use is worth millions to the unhappy rich people if <\/span><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">they could be shown its explosive power.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">2. Don&#8217;t set them too far in the future<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">&#8211; Have ideas about where you want to go goals-wise a few months from now but don&#8217;t set anything in concrete beyond 3 months. I live to keep it to just this month and the next one. Life&#8217;s circumstances will change so quickly that you might be in a completely different place 6 months from now to where you envisioned. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">3. What&#8217;s the bigger picture?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">&#8211; Usually you will have lots of smaller goals that converge around one larger goal. Identify that larger goal and by holding the picture of it in your mind you will be motivated more than holding the picture of &#8220;I have to exercise AGAIN today, this stuff never ends!&#8221;. This is simple but powerful. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">4. Set small goals to get moving<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">&#8211; Sometimes when you&#8217;re in a rut it can be hard to even get out of bed in the morning. My only goal for January was to get out of bed each day at 9am, stay awake and nothing else. No job, no income etc. It&#8217;s amazing how little goals can spur you on to progressively bigger and bigger ones. That little exercise of self control shatters low confidence and you can build yourself from there. Push yourself a little further with each new goal and a year from now you will be astounded at your progress.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">5. Set large goals to motivate you<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">&#8211; Doesn&#8217;t this contradict what I said before about setting smaller goals? Not really. You see, the small goals will get you off the ground and moving but it takes a big beautiful image of what you want to keep you going through the tough times. Take action now in small amounts but have yourself pointed towards your major goal.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">6. Maybe you have to suffer more?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">&#8211; You will suffer continually until you take control of your life. Many of life&#8217;s great successes come out of great suffering (Buddha is a good example). You were put here to create and express yourself. You&#8217;re beyond the level of an animal that lacks self direction and you will keep on suffering until you do what you intuitively know is right. You can choose to follow your goals right now though even if its only baby steps at first. Seize today and tomorrow will fall into place or keep on suffering.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">7. Are they your goals?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">&#8211; Are you working to go to University when the only real motivation is coming from your family? Or working a job you hate to please Daddy? It takes real guts to look within and admit something like this to yourself and I challenge you to do so now. If you felt uncomfortable doing that, there&#8217;s something to this.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">Set your own goals. You&#8217;ll have to live with what happens and when people see what a success you are becoming they will start to back you up. You&#8217;ll be a huge difference in the lives of those around you. How&#8217;s that for inspiration! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">8. Tell People<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">&#8211; I often make goals in my head and they stay there. By getting the goal into reality, you are half way there already. By telling someone close to you, you feel an obligation to do it and you will get comfortable with the idea that you can tell people a goal and know that you will achieve it. It feels great to tell someone something and watch their faces drop as you go out and do exactly what they said you couldn&#8217;t.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">9. Set top-down goals<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">&#8211; We must set goals with the highest good in mind. Start at your life purpose and work your way down. If you don&#8217;t know your purpose, start with your highest values. Setting a goal of $3000\/month income will bore you so much if you do it bottom up. It&#8217;s literally the difference between a job you love and a job you accept. There is a part of us that knows setting goals for money, status etc will not make us happy. If we are working towards the greater good then every moment is a joy to experience.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">10. Set scary goals<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">&#8211; We can all set a goal to lose 5 lbs. Imagine a goal of having &#8220;ultimate vitality and being full of life, having enough energy to feel great and do what I love all day and still have energy left to play with my kids&#8221;. Which one will motivate you more? The 5lb goal is logically easier but nobody is motivated to lose just 5lbs for the sake of it. Constantly facing our fears with huge goals is an amazing adrenaline filled ride. Sometimes setting a huge scary goal will cause you to fail but you will have come so far towards it that the puny goals you set beforehand will seem trivial. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">11. My #1 Tip For Achieving Your Goals<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">&#8211;<\/span><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"> In 2010 I&#8217;ve set so many goals and achieved them all (I&#8217;m big-headed about it too!). Every single one for 3-4 months consecutively. Getting up at 5am daily, exercising daily, eating a Raw Food Diet. I always felt that I was swimming upstream though, living by the motto &#8220;You have to fight hard to get what you want&#8221;.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">My goal for May is to be totally in the moment as much as I can. If I catch myself thinking about the future or the past, I watch my mind doing that and then pull the attention back into this moment. This is my ultimate secret to goal setting. We live so much in the past and future in life that we fail to appreciate what we have now. Watch your mind doing this and it dies down on its own and you&#8217;ll be left with all that is left which is this beautiful moment. Goal setting is ultimately about deciding a journey and enjoying the moment you&#8217;re already in.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">Life is a journey, not a destination. We&#8217;ve all heard this but how many of us practice it daily? If you could really press fast forward to the ultimate destination would you? I don&#8217;t want to meet Mr Grim Reaper any sooner than I have to. Enjoy the journey. By taking action and being totally mindful of this moment, you will achieve your goals<\/span><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">and<\/span><\/em><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">enjoy the process which is something we all deserve to experience.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0pt 14pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><em>Richard Shelmerdine is a Guest Blogger for PickTheBrain and a contributing writer for DumbLittleMan.
