Wedding Day Goal Setting

Getting married and setting your goals for your ideal wedding is an easy process if you follow this process.

In fact you can use this process after the wedding - from setting goals around saving for a home, traveling, your career or starting a family.

First of all, your vision needs to be...

CompellingIs this just about the wedding day? Is it about how you will feel on this special day?

What is it?

Write down what is compelling about your goal here:

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You need strong enough reasons to follow them through when the going

gets tough. Then review your vision and feel it DAILY.

You can’t stop thinking about it, you are obsessed - it is so compelling. Imagine it and feel it. This needs to be your focus.

Tip: A way to focus on your goal is to focus on it daily. For example when you are brushing your teeth do it then! At least you will be doing it twice a day!

Look at your language, do you use ‘should’ a lot? We all have a ‘should’ list. For example “I should lose weight”, “I should return those calls”.

But if the SHOULD list doesn’t work...it is a little disappointing...but we knew it wasn’t going to happen anyway!

When we make the change from ‘should’ to ‘must’, something occurs in our brain and the MUST becomes part of our identity.

The strongest force in the whole human personality is this need to stay ‘consistent’ with how we define ourselves. Use these steps to create achievable goals today!

(Remember we said you can use this goal setting technique on any part of your life)

Step 1

Select an area of your life you would like to improve and describe what that area is like for you currently.

Be specific!

Example: I am 5.5 kilos overweight, I am exhausted and my knees hurt.

Step 2

Write down the rituals that have shaped your current conditions in this area.

Be HONEST!

Step 3

Write down what you want. What is your compelling vision?

Be specific!

Step 4

Write down the rituals that will get you your compelling vision. What would you need to do differently each day to get what you want?

Willpower doesn’t last - but rituals can last a lifetime

Once you start one or two rituals - you get momentum!
