Written By Fleur Murugu

Are you feeling stuck or stagnated in any area of your life? Do your goals need a refresh or revamp? Read on and learn how visioning combined with goal setting are powerful tools that can jumpstart a dull career or create a brand new exciting career or take on a dream you never thought possible!

Visioning:

What is visioning? It is a powerful exercise that helps you hone in to what you really want. Lets you approach y our goals creatively, and with a big picture mindset. It helps you set up achievable goals in an easy fun way by plugging into your imagination!

Pen to Paper:

Next step in creation is not only knowing what your goals are but writing them on paper. Create a list and order them based in importance.

  • Immediate Goals - what you would like to complete NOW

  • Short Term Goals - 6 Months - 2 years

  • Medium Term Goals - 2 years to 5 years from now

  • Long Term Goals - 5 -10 years

Create SMART Goals:

What are SMARTER Goals?

  • Specific – details are important

  • Measurable – can quantify progress

  • Achievable – inner and outer beliefs 

  • Relevant – or relatable to you

  • Time Based – should have a time assigned to each

  • Evaluate – progress regularly

  • Reward – every goal achieved

Accountability:

Ensure you have a mechanicsm in place to hold you accountable to your goals once they have been created, whether it is a friend, social media or a coach such as myself. This is very important in ensuring you keep showing up.

Roadblocks:

Anticipate roadblocks and be prepared to work around them, re-adjust your goals or sometimes just to perservere through them. Do not allow roadblocks to invalidate your goals and dreams.

Finally, remember the key to success is envisioning your dreams coming to be. Keep coming back to your dream and envision what your life will look, taste and feel like once your goal is accomplished. Come back to this feeling as often as possible (daily)! Every great thing was first created in the mind then brought into existence by sticking to the big “picture” (vision) no matter the obstacles.

Flourishingly Yours,

~Fleur.
