Map design to manifest your goals

Traditionally in our family, we ask each member for their New Year’s resolution. We do this partly for curiosity and fun. I guess we’re not the only ones who are into this custom. While we think of the positive things we want to achieve for the upcoming year, which are more exciting to make and harder to achieve for some people, have we ever thought seriously of ways for our goals to materialize?

Designing a map to reach a goal is one of my favorite programs I use for my clients. I use this tool to bag their target either for their personal aspiration or business aim.

The first step, the goal should be something that you really want and motivated to committing to it, wholeheartedly.

Second is to have a clear vision of the outcome. It is important that you believe in your ability to arrive to what you set. It is required to fire up your action and drive.

Now, draw a map. List all the ideas you think are essential to reach your goal. For example, if what you desire is to lose weight, you may want to write down in piece of paper the following: exercise, diet, knowledge, time management and motivator. Below each category, list the realistic possible methods to make it happen. For instance, on the diet department, what kind of nutrition you have in your mind to make you shed some pounds? Are you going to count the calories of your intake or follow intermittent fasting or the ketogenic system? Once you figure out which one feels right for you, go to the next step.

Ask yourself what is required from you to make your choice of diet plan come true. Is it discipline, strong willpower, one-dimensional mindset, commitment, confidence, or all that is mentioned? Do the same principle for the other categories you included in your list.

Lastly, imagine yourself as the result after following all those you wrote in your map. Can you picture yourself slimmer and looking better? What are you wearing and the color? How about your hairstyle? Are you happier? What is the feeling?

You may want to close your eyes while you are visualizing the outcome and feel all the happy emotions it brings about.

Visualization helps tremendously for your goals to materialize quickly. You may want to visualize arriving at your goal every night before sleeping. With the power of the mind and mighty determination of the body working in partnership for your objective, there will be no space for failure.

Happy mapping and I wish you catch your dreams this promising New Year.

Namaste.
