Get to a comfortable, quiet place with a pen and paper. We have heard this time and again, "those that don't put pen to paper and write their goals down, will not achieve them". Let's face it, if you cannot bring yourself to committing to write your goals down, how to you expect to commit to accomplishing your goal. It has been said "if you will not connect to paper, you will not connect to reality." What this means is, your subconscious doesn't know what you want to do. When you do these exercises, it is just another way of forcing your subconscious mind to know what goal you want to achieve next. Your subconscious cannot differentiate your dreams from reality. It just knows you are setting another goal into action for you to achieve.
So let's have fun with dreaming and planning on the goals we want to achieve. Start with realistic small goals you know you can achieve without too much trouble, and then increase the intensity of your goals after you become confidant with your goal setting accomplishments. You may only start with wanting or able to accomplish one goal a day at the beginning, but you are taking Action. It will get easier!
