Now that you have a Treasure Map a visual road map to your success, you can decide if your goals and dreams are S.M.A.R.T.
S - Specific. Clarity leads to power and success. Remember your subconscious mind is very literal, is your goal specific, clearly defined? Easy to understand? It needs to make sense to you. Your Treasure Map can be general but your journaling and visualizations need to be specific so you can target and achieve your exact goal.
M - Measurable. How will you know that you have your goal? If you want to drop weight, is it 3 or 30 pounds? If you want to improve your income, will finding a quarter in the street satisfy you? Or do you want to increase your net income by $2000, $20,000 or $200,000? How will you measure your success? The subconscious mind doesn’t understand loss or gain you will need to state an exact number. For example: I now weigh a healthy 115 pounds. Or I now earn $40,000 every month.
A - Attainable. Is your goal realistic? I fully believe we create our own reality and I am extremely practical. So ask yourself, is your goal achievable now? Do you have all the skills needed to manifest this? Do you need to grow, stretch and learn or heal some things to help you along the way to your dreams? Do you need to make space for you goals? So many people set goals but are often too busy or afraid to be willing to receive them. Remember the basic formula:
I suggest that you adopt the attitude of being prepared to do “whatever it takes” and you will find many times you wont have to, purely because you have stated that intention very clearly and having the attitude is enough to activate the law of attraction. Sometimes you will be challenged and have to do and keep doing whatever it takes... and that’s where you will need to look at the passion factor/ relevance below. If your goal requires a certain skill set e.g. To become a doctor, speaker, dancer, great athlete, investor, please go and learn these skills. Take action and keep taking what Jack Canfield calls “inspired action” until you have what you want. Taking action is part of the believing section and in doing so you are telling the universe you are willing to receive. (note: taking action is important in both worlds, the outer world of reality and the inner world of thoughts and feelings, i.e.... Doing your Mind work and being disciplined with your thinking and “vibes” you are generating.)
R- Relevant. This has to do with Passion. You can decide to have any goal you want, but if its not a true passion for you, is it really relevant to your life and worth your time and energy? When a goal is also a passion you will find endless strength and enthusiasm to succeed and keep going, even through the rough spots, or “growth spurts”.
T- Time. The usual left brain goal setting techniques suggest you put a time frame, a deadline around your goals and many people like to give their goals a definite date. I partly agree. Holistic goal setting and using the Mind Skills and Affirmations, are all about having your desired reality NOW.
If you feel compelled to put a date on your Treasure Maps, I would suggest you write the date with this qualifier, “......or sooner” e.g. “ By December 30, 2007, or sooner, Thank you”. This will allow the universe and your subconscious mind to bring it to you as quickly as possible. Joe Vitale says “the Universe likes speed”. Do You? During your visualizations see it, feel it, hear it, touch it, taste it, smell it as if you have already achieved it all NOW.
Please be aware that if you have nominated a specific time frame it could put undue pressure on you and encourage non supportive thinking habits to infiltrate such as: fear, worry, panic, feeling rushed. Be very conscious of your thoughts. You cannot attract something to you by focusing or worrying about the opposite!
Use the timeline as a guide and a request. If you miss the timeline, take the timeline off your map and affirm, visualize and celebrate using “now” instead of the specific date/time.
If you do miss your date, determine if it was because your goal is not aligned with your higher purpose or passion, or it is bigger than you originally thought, or is it that you have changed your desires? You are extremely powerful and if you do not attain your goal by the time your “realistically” chose, there is a reason. Re-evaluate what it is you want, why you want it and is it for your highest good?
Have fun with your creations and manifesting. I look forward to hearing about your great success, very soon
