5 tips for better goal setting

We all have certain goals that we would like to achieve at different stages in our lives. However, not all of us are able to meet them.  Though we know what our goals are, we can’t bring ourselves to achieve them most of the times, because there is many a slip between the cup and the lip. More often than not, the reason for not meeting our goals is not setting a pre-defined path for the same. Here are five tips that we can all follow to set ourselves better goals and work towards achieving them within the specified timeframe.

1.      Choose goals that are valuable to you

Never set a goal because your friend or parent asked you to do so. You should always set goals that help you improve personally and professionally. Will I become a better human being when I achieve this goal? How will it improve my overall personality development? Will this goal help me in finding my core competency? These are some of the questions that you should think about when setting a goal, to be assured of 100% success while achieving them. When you set goals that add value to your lives and motivate you, you are more likely to work towards achieving them.

2.      Use the SMART method

Mostly, there is ambiguity in your minds while setting goals and achieving them, because you didn’t care enough for the small details. This is why following the SMART system is very important while setting goals. Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound goals need to be set, irrespective of whether they are meant for personal or professional development. By following this technique, you are giving a defined structure to your goals and making them accurate, so that it becomes easy to achieve them.

3.      One step at a time

While it is important to focus on the big picture when setting goals, it is equally important to travel this path one step at a time. When you have a huge goal staring at you with a specified time-frame hanging over it, it may look all too daunting and intimidating for you. So, all you need to do is to break down the big goal into several smaller goals, so that it helps you concentrate more and  pursue each goal with ease and confidence.

4.      Write down your goals

It may seem to be a simple tip, but it helps! Write down all your goals with their time-frame on a chart paper and pin it in your room, so that you are constantly reminded of your goals, your progress and your path that is yet to be travelled. Writing down your priorities on a daily basis will also help you in managing your time effectively as you can only focus on those tasks that are important.

5.      Don’t be too hard on yourself

Setting goals and achieving them with 100% success rate is no mean task! You may not achieve 100% success in your first goal; however, you should never give up. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Give yourself a back-pat and carry on with your next attempt with renewed focus and lots of takeaways from your first attempt. After all, life is a journey that deserves to be enjoyed, isn’t it?

Hypnotherapy for Personal Development – Is the Truth Within or Without?

Hypnotherapy for personal development? - I hear you ask.

My answer, why not? There is no reason that hypnotherapy cannot help you become a more evolved person.

Most of us today are under constant pressure to perform better, to look cool, and to be successful. There are hundreds of forces working on us at all times to shape our own identity in our own eyes.

Today, there are millions of people who suffer from low self confidence, low self esteem; there are thousands of youngsters who live with a negative self image for years, and worse still when they grow up those ideas that they have harboured all those years become so inimitable that it is almost impossible for them to overcome it.

Here’s where hypnotherapy for personal development comes in. Recent research has found that hypnotherapy is a very effective means of personality development, and that it affects virtually every aspect of human lives.

Through hypnotherapy and the various other therapies I combine with hypnotherapy you can cure yourself of anxiety and nervousness; you can work towards thwarting self doubt and become more confident.

You can use hypnotherapy to lose weight and look better; you can use hypnotherapy to increase your creativity and improve upon your public speaking skills.

Does it seem that hypnotherapy is actually too good to be true?

With over 30 years experience as a hypnotherapist, I 110% believe as long as its used by a properly trained, qualified and experienced therapist who can also call upon other therapeutic tools that hypnotherapy is the foundation and structure for incredible personal change and evolvement .

Once you realize the potential of hypnotherapy for personal development, you can work wonders with it. With the help of a qualified hypnotherapist such as myself, you can journey to the centre of your subconscious mind. Which is where permanent changes, whether, physical, emotional, behavioural or spiritual take place.

What are the areas that hypnotherapy for personal development can help me?

It really depends upon what areas you want to improve upon.

Hypnotherapy’s arena is nearly limitless, because it deals with a magnificent mechanism in our body called the brain. If you can train your subconscious to think, feel and therefore react a certain way, there is no end to possibilities of the changes you can bring about.

It can help you in increasing your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health and wellbeing .

It can help you get better scores in your pop-quizzes, or help you crack more deals with your clients. It can help you have a more enriching relationship with your spouse, or increase the level of your creativity.

Let me give you an example. Let’s say that going through hypnotherapy for personal development is like going deep sea diving.

Like deep sea diving, hypnotherapy takes you to the deepest recesses of your conscious, sub conscious, unconscious and superconscious mind to find your true self.

In diving you jump in to witness the exotic marine life, explore the sea bed and if possible come back with a treasure. Similarly hypnotherapy takes you on a dive to discover yourself, see the way your mind functions, make any changes or heal any parts you would like to , and come back with a brighter, more authentic you!

How to Get Started

How to have the life you deserve and have always wanted

How to have the life you deserve and have always wanted

The truth is that most of us don’t know what we want in our lives.  We usually drift through life stating all the things that we don’t want, such as I don’t want to do this job anymore, I don’t want to be overweight, I don’t want to be with a man who treats me unkindly, I don’t want to be alone. 

The problem is that what we focus on is very often what we get and our minds are not able to distinguish between the positive and the negative so that very often we end up with the very things that we don’t want.

The most successful people in life are those that are very clear about what they want, are very clear about how to get there and follow through with action to move forward to achieving that.

Without a clear idea of what you want to be, do and have you are likely to be drifting.  This often means you have little control over your life and even fewer choices, which can lead to frustration, anxiety, fear and stress.

GOOD NEWS - This does not have to be so.

Anyone can take control of their future, get clear on what they want and improve the quality of their life forever.

Follow this step by step guide and see if it works for you:

Step 1 – Gather

Write down on a piece of paper everything you want to be, do and have.  Keep going until you have exhausted all your ideas.

Step 2 – Review

Go through your list and ask yourself what is this going to do for me or give to me?  Cross off the list anything you cannot give an answer to.  Make sure you are very clear about why you want this.

Step 3 – Evaluate

Now look at your remaining list of items and see how they fit in with the important things in your life.  For example, if your young family are very important to you then you may find that setting yourself a target of spending the next 5 years surfing the coasts of Australia is unrealistic.

Spend some time closely scruitinising each target and ask yourself some questions such as:

Will this improve my life, make me happier, healthier, richer? What benefits are there for me and the other important people in my life?

Step 4 – Take Action

Now take each of the items on your list and create a `To Do` list.  Ask yourself what you are willing to do to move closer to this item.  Break each target down into smaller steps so that you don’t get overwhelmed and work out what the `to do` list is for each step.  Keep breaking it down until you have a manageable list of actions you can do, one way to do this is to ask keep on asking yourself How will I do that?  The steps don’t need to be so easy that they are boring or don’t stretch you and also don’t make them too hard so that you would not achieve them.

Think about daily activities, weekly activities and monthly activities. The idea is that you can achieve the overall aim somewhere between 3-6 months.

Don’t forget to keep your list of `to do` handy so that you can cross them off your list as you achieve them. 

Step 5 – Set specific dates for the action

Add some realistic time scales for doing/completing the action.  This step is really important as it will enable you to keep yourself on track for achieving the life you want.  It will help to motivate and encourage you to move forwards.

Give yourself a hearty slap on the back for completing this exercise. 

Now spend some time thinking of how you will feel once you have achieved your aims.  What will you see and hear?  What will your friends and other people be saying to you? 

Create some rewards for yourself as you achieve each target as these will also help to motivate and encourage you.

Remind yourself every so often of those areas in your life that you are improving so that you can know if you are moving closer to achieving them. 

Remember:  the extent to which you keep your word with yourself is the extent to which your life works.

Give Yourself a Second Chance

Give Yourself a Second Chance

Are you living the life you were meant to live? Or have outside influences changed the real you into someone who is unfulfilled, unhappy, stressed, overweight, depressed or just plain unhappy.

You can give yourself a second chance. Regardless of what’s happened in the past you can get back to what I like to call essence.

Who is the real you?

Close your eyes and imagine for a minute that there is a parallel universe and you have a parallel “you” who is exactly the same age as you are now. Only this “you” has had everything in their lives nurture them. Perfect parents, perfect schooling, perfect friends, perfect partner everything perfect, nothing standing in the way of letting you be the person you are entitled to be.

This you is standing in front of you under a spotlight, in your imagination step into that spotlight and into the real you. Have a good look around, notice how it feels and what the difference is. Really live that real new you and then decide whether you want to stay in that frame. Live your life to the full, we can choose how outside influences affect us.

Its not just your physiology but your mind set, make up your mind to be the person who looks back on their life knowing that you’ve lived the life you were born to.

A good hypnotherapist will take you through this process and lead you further to understand what your life can be like. If only you give yourself a second chance
