10 Step to congruent Goal Achieving

We have talked about Well formed Outcomes before where I explain the NLP process of executing a Goal.

In this post I am talking about the mind set needed to create the perfect energetic space for congruent Goal setting.

To achieve a goal can be easier said than done, in life there are tons of variables aimed at grabbing our attention. If we are not careful we can easily get distracted without even knowing it, sometimes an unconscious desire is driving this kind of behaviour.

It is very important to create a state of congruence before hand and get clear, you can take a moment out to truly jump start your goal achieving with these 10 simple steps.

#1 Flush out the Clutter

For many people clarity and complete freedom from emotional clutter is a new idea.

You can try it on for yourself to notice the stillness that exists within that kind of harmony.

#2 Get clear and in alignment

Take a moment to relax in a comfortable chair,

Focus on any one thing internal or external

Release all judgment and thought as you just begin to stretch your body and your mind in relaxation and notice.. Your own breath

Slow all breathing down; even notice your chest rise …. And fall down gently.

As a light green blanket of peace flutters gently over you and your life .. softly brushing your cheek first then enveloping each part of your skin in one soothing motion.

Peace abounds, as you become one … with yourself, with your mind, body and soul.

As the Universe and you merge into one abstract source of energy.

Now close your eyes… if you haven’t already.

#3 Visualize the Big Picture

Now.. It is time to understand an overview of what the big picture is for you

Allow any pictures, feelings, sounds and vibrations to come into your presence and begin to notice them.

You can often tell by your own physiology and any signs of stress, faster breathing for example if this is a great fit for you, at even an unconscious level.

#4 Release all negative belief and feeling

Exhale all discord and begin to release any limiting belief, staying in positive expectation.

Gain an understanding of how to create this feeling as a physical external projection.

Focus your energy where you need it the most on creating and sustaining Empowering Belief.

 #5 Begin to form a Plan of Action

What are the next steps?

Take time to fill in the gaps of missing details even if they are abstract or hazy to begin with if they carry weight and you are drawn to them, allow yourself to explore them further.

Now begin to get even clearer.

#6 Set an Intention

Before one creates a lasting change one must have an intention, a reason for desiring the positive change in the first place.

Intention is always best understood when one is in a mood of wellness harmony and peace, take a moment to meditate on your highest intention

Ask yourself what is my intention for this action, what do I want to get out of this and what need or desire does it truly serve and secondly: why is this important to me.

Take the time out to understand the answers fully.

#7 It needs to be compelling enough to create movement

It must be compelling, enough so that on even days when you don’t feel like it, at an unconscious level there is motivational snap back to get you back in the saddle.

#8 Figure out the next steps

Once you have decided on your intention, find out what are the next steps.

Notice your energy, Physiology, and your mind state and maintain vital well being.

#9 Become Focused and Resilient

There is stuff in life that just happen, to everyone, some more than less. Decide to stay on target and watch out for massive energy drainers.

Commit to become resilient and super focused, ask yourself:

“Is this helping me to reach my goal”.

If the answer is no, Revise your Action sooner rather than later.

#10 Don’t stop till you get enough

Keep going; take it from the top until you reach your goal.

Remember when you are ready to make your Goals Well Formed Outcomes these steps will guide you through.

Cartesian Logic | NLP is Fun

Cartesian Logic is a very simple line of questioning attributable to Rene Descartes who was a French Philosopher in the 15 and 1600's.

It is a great way to examine questions and answers from every angle especially in a coaching setting.
Of course if you use this pattern for yourself you will enjoy it too.

The end result will determine the next steps to take, a result of logic all points toward the same answer.

The 4 Questions:

1.What would happen if you did

Inverse
2. What would happen if you didn't

Converse
3. What won't happen if you did

Non mirror image reverse 
4. What won't happen if you didn't

Ready ? 
Lets do a Demo :

Question
I am thinking about going for my masters in art history in 2012.

1.What would happen if you did ?

Answer 
I would have a masters in Art History which would make me eligible for Teaching at professor level, thus giving me more choices.

2. What would happen if you didn't ?

Answer
I would not be eligible for some of the programmes I long to be involved in and I won't be able to teach Art History at Stanford University as I had hoped to do in 2014.

3. What won't happen if you did ?

Answer
I won't feel stuck with my life as I do now.

4. What won't happen if you didn't ?

Answer
I will not make as much progress as I want to in my career.

Conclusion
So in this Demo it appears logical to make the decision to go for the Masters.

Your Turn.
Why not take one of your own questions and put it through the cartesian logic paces and find your own logic.
